Hey all, i've pretty much done every melee set but spines, EM and DB, and DB has my attention, So does ice armor, So i'm curious what optimum slotting would be. (On ipod currently, Comp is at the shop, so i can't provide any mids data on my side, Sorry.)

Hi,

This is the build that I've been playing. He's surprisingly resilient for a defense-based character and dishes out plenty of damage. I would recommend changing a few things, however. Shadow meld isn't really needed. Superspeed would be useful for trials.

Sounds like a fun combo I did not really consider. I tried making it a little unique by adding the Moonbeam snipe attack into the build. When i24 hits, you can pretty much get a constant +22% tohit thanks to the Empower Combo/Tactics/Kismet. It would probably hurt your DPS in the end due to redraw. Can still run the Ablat-SS-Ablat-AS attack chain. Agility Alpha recommended to get softcap in S/L/E/N and the little extra recharge boost and Ageless for recharge and endurance:
