Spines/DA opinions...
I would switch out CoF for OP due to endurance and I wouldn't take Blaze, you're already doing so much AoE Fire Ball would be over kill.

Opressive Gloom
Here is my spines/dark build, it does pretty well against +2 x8 demons. I still have endurance issues while running my travel power but when I shut it off my endurance bar lasts a few mobs before I have to click Conserve Power.

Dark/Shield Build Thread
I was thinking of trying a farm build, as I don't have one. Not sure how well I did with it though. I think the END concerns are taken care of however.
Would love to fit in Tough...maybe I should give up Combat Jumping for Build Up as well...thoughts help..opinions...thanks
