I didn’t think about Nin secondary. I will check it out

Deathstroke has always been a favourite character of mine and I tried a few times to make a homage to him but never got it right. I am wondering what does the community think which AT and power set would suit him? My initial thoughts: scrapper/Brute BS/SR or WP scrapper/Brute DB/SR or WP sentinal DP/SR or WP + Nin epic Thanks in advance

So I respecced into this build and my End bar is getting smashed after a few attacks of Dark blast/gloom and life drain. I cannot sustain the attack and firing other abilities of dark miasma. Back to the drawing board

Ahh thanks didn’t realise. What is the optimal proc to use for soul extraction now?

That’s awesome - thank you for the explanation. Looks like heal and panacea is all that’s needed for dark empowerment. Saved some spots!

Thank you for linking this tread. I would have never realised you talked so much in depth about procs and minion enhancement. So am I right Panacea, Kismet will affect the minions because it’s down as “others” but miracle/numina/impervious skin will only affect you even though it’s in an enhancement power because it’s set as “self only”?

Hi all, I'm working on my endgame Neco/Dark/Soul MM and need some advice on optimizing my slot configuration and power selection. My build is the result of reading many forum posts and incorporates ideas from various builds—special thanks to @StrikerFox for the minion and dark empowerment/enchant dead suggestions. What I am not sure about is how powers like dark empowerment/enchant undead slotting transfer to the minions - do they take on unique like Impervious Skin, Numina and even Steadfast+3% Def? Are there any other strategies or tweaks I can use to boost performance or conserve slots while achieving the same effects? Thanks in advance! Mastermind (Necromancy - Dark Miasma) NEW.mbd

Thanks for the explanation. Makes me feel I should just carry on

Thanks - so what I am experiencing is pretty normal? I just want to make sure I am not doing anything wrong as everyone seems to rave about Bio

Most EB I have trouble with. Also when I am surrounded by more then 4 minions they start whittling me down quickly as my S/L resistance is only in the 50s and little or no defence. Especially against lethal resistance mobs because of claws damage. If I don’t kill them quickly they I am in trouble. it feels like every mob I have to kill them all within 1min otherwise I have to take inspiration or hope DNA siphon recharges

Hi all, I recently started a Claws/Bio Scrapper, and he's now level 30, but I am struggling to play effectively above +1/2 difficulty. For some background, I've been playing since live Issue 4, so I have a solid grasp of the basics. I recently came back to Homecoming, and typically, by level 22, my characters feel strong, and I start increasing difficulty. However, with Claws/Bio, Im just not feeling that power curve. I recently fought Cortex (an EB) at +1, and he wiped me in two hits. I had to come back after leveling up, using a lot of Inspirations just to win. My usual approach is to activate Ablative Carapace (I've now switched to Efficient stance permanently since Aggressive wasnt working) and then jump into the fight. My characters tend to be well-funded I start with 500m Inf, and I have all attuned enhancements, including ATOs. I really want this toon to work. Does it improve later with specific powers or slotting? Am I missing something fundamental? Thanks in advance for any advice!

I just found this post after searching for Willpower build. @Thraxen your build is great - can I ask why you have taken Tactics instead of just using FA?

I am wondering if anyone has tried Ice mastery and what do you think about it? I am thinking it looks a pretty awesome epic with S/L defence along with C/F resistance. Also with Hoarfrost you can increase your HP with only around 30s ish downtime

Thanks for looking at it @StrikerFox. Looks like too many sacrifices need to be made to achieve the resistances in your build. I might tinker a bit and see if I can closer without losing too much recharge, endurance and damage.

So I updated my build to include Dark Mastery but I am struggling to get S/L to high enough level with Murky Cloud @StrikerFox any ideas how I can improve this or do you think I am fine at 37.56% before Ember demon buff? I am also struggling to get a Whip attach in so I might revisit Shadowy binds. I do miss Soul Tentacles on Soul Mastery Darkest Night v4 Dark Mastery.mbd
