After spending a fair amount of time refining this build i think i have gotten to the point where i can finally say i am happy with it. I would like to have capped S/L but i dont really want to have to sacrifice a stupid amount of money to get..... gladiator's armor: +3% def.

Decent enough rech without having to sacrifice def. I have both Dark Consumption and Consume to keep on top of the end issues.

Now i just hope it will be good enough to farm :S...

Comments, issues, anything welcome. Would just like some feedback

^_^ Thanks!

Use the short forum export or just the data chunk please. The long forum export is annoying to scroll past the useless text it adds.

Instead of aiming for 45% defense, try 32.5% and use an inspiration when things get rough. Most of the time you won't need it, though. You could raise your E/N defenses or increase your recharge with the other set bonuses.

Also, try not to use sets that add more positional defense than typed when you are going for typed defense. Those tend to waste a lot of slots. Instead of Touch of Death, you could use Kinetic Combat or Smashing Haymaker. Instead of 4 Mocking Beratements, use 4 or 6 Perfect Zingers, or 6 Mocking Beratements if you need the recharge.

Armageddon is a waste of INF to slot it in Soul Drain. Put it in Burn and put the Obliteration set in Soul Drain.

Siphon Life should be enhanced for healing, too.

Having only 4 KB protection probably won't be enough. I have 8 on my FA Brute and I still get knocked back occasionally. Take Temperature Protection for the mule slot. I would drop Shadow Punch and Shadow Maul because they are low DPS attacks, unless you need one for the set bonus.


Dark Melee is great single-target damage if you can run the top attack chain. However, you lack the recharge because you went for too much defense on a resistance set. Midnight Grasp needs to recharge in 4.488 seconds to run MG -> Smite -> Siphon Life -> MG.
