@WitchofDread....you are correct on your observations but as she was built more theme and less min/max but still works suprisingly well

@Voltak, I've been watching your videos and I'm very impressed with what you've done with the dark/dark dom build adn I'm currently in the process of rebuilding mine and would like to get some feedback if you could. My 2 favorite doms are my mind/dark based on the council's vamps and my dark/dark but I'm kinda stuck...while I like my dark/dark's current build well enough I think I can do better and came up with this build........while not strong on resists the defenses should help and while not planning to solo AV's with her I think she'll be able to handle most other things.

@WitchofDread....I can post it for you when I ger off work, such a fun build

@WitchofDread....dark/psi is very nice and I just respec'd mine into sorcery and Ice mastery

While I haven't made a dark/fire dom I have made several other dark doms and it's a great set. Dark/dark, dark/savage, dark/psi and dark/earth.....all have been a blast to play and @brasilgringois correct about the proctastic fun of heart of darkness as well as dark grasp........I can nuke mobs with a proc'd out HoD adn whatever remains I take out with a proc'd out engulfing darkness or my judgement power.

For dark control you're gonna want dark grasp, possess, fearsome stare, heart of darkness, shadow field and umbra beast Living shadows is ok, its an immob power which has uses but is skippable and haunt is a pet that lasts a minute but is slso skippable

My main for the longest time was the dark/dark troller who is also my namesake and has been made and remade several times over the past few years of playing on homecoming. He's also been able to do some seriously cool stuff...atleast to me with solo GM hunting fun. The dark/cold was made as a challenge to top my ill/cold in crazy controller shenanigans and while close the difference between PA and haunts were just too noticeable but is still an awesome toon and the dark/storm was made to see if I could make it, soft cap it and have enough endurance to actually run it and enough fire power to be effective.....well it's still a work in progress with the endurance issues but everywhere else it shines. All 4 run 4/8 content with little issue with the only real issue being anything that actually gets through the defense to debuff me with regard to stamina or recharge. I feel ya on the dark stuff....my SG mates kinda raz me about all my dark toons........most of my toons are dark. with the dark cold.....with Diamagnetic....I'm not sure if I'm actually using that or if I just clicked it on mids by mistake as I usually just mids build up to the alpha......but out of all my trollers at 50 my dark/dark is my favorite hands down and is my go to when my friends say grab the beast.

@Voltak , awesome thanks so much

@Voltak that is very impressive, if you could would you share some build advice. I have a dark dom that I want to get more out of but unsure what to do going foward......he's fine for most stuff but I want to push him. I saw the clarion and gathering shadows comment but my main question would be high recharge or high defense is most important for the build? Thanks for any advice and insight you could possibly share

All 3 can work and all 3 will give your varying levels of success but it kinda boils down to how do you want to do it........dark/dark is the slow and safe bet with all the defense and to hit debuffs it brings. Dark/cold is nasty but not on the same level of nasty as an ill/cold but still nasty with the -res and -regen/-recovery it offers and storm is pure damaging chaos which I added even more AoE goodness to.

I was reading this and trying to figure out how to explain things but as I've been up since 5am and have to get back up at 3:30am for work........I'll just post my builds and say all are awesome as I have a dark/dark, dark/cold and dark/storm.

So I've got a demon/kin MM at 50 and she was a blast to play with very little pet dying issues. Demon gives you hell on earth which will allow you to slot all the pet uniques there without having to dedicate slots in your pets to these uniques which allows you to have stronger/tougher pets also the T2 demons cast a thermal shield which will aid in their durability. Pick up leadership for maneuvers to buff you and your pets but the main way to guarantee pet safety is to kill faster.......speedboost, fulcrum shift and transference will all ensure this happens.

Not needed but can be helpful

Here's the build that I currently have on my demon/pain.....she's a fun one.

I've seen fire, psi and earth do amazing things when paired with plant.

So, funny coincident....I'm leveling a dark/psi dom that is taking the TP pool for fold space fun, turned HoD into a proc bomb and will be s/l soft capped. Currently at level 39 and is a freaking blast to play.

Here's my dark troller....completely tricked out to fit my playstyle. Just wish I had a few more slots but is very effective at 4/8 content.

You're probably right with your observation of the proc placement......I have only 1 claws character and it was made off another toons build that was interesting, claws/sr. Appreciate the idea of spin for the proc.....as for shadowmeld and unrelenting, I had meld in my dm/regen build as it fit the concept with the dark but found after my last respec that I didn't really need it and unrelenting I've never used so I am completely unfamiliar with it

Maybe something like this.....would be very nasty but expensive. You will need the agility core alpha to hit the soft cap number but will probably survive all kinds of stuff....energy attacks and debuffs will be challenging but manageable This Hero build was built using Mids Reborn 3.0.3.1 https://github.com/Reborn-Team/MidsReborn Click this DataLink to open the build!

I have several regen builds that I've recently built around the idea of soft capped s/l defense. My personal favorite is my dm/regen scrapper who's build I can share that may give you some additional ideas as well.........he's been very fun to play and can take on most anything with very little issues. I'll see about making a claws/regen build based off the current and see if it can work.

I think the biggest question is what are your goals for the build? I've got a demon/thermal that I love but it took me dome time to get into it, with several respecs to hit my original targets......high recharge on this version, soft cap on that version, all fire on a version and so on. Demon/thermal strengths are in their resist based shields and the buff of forge paired with some debuffs from the t8 and t9 powers. My current build might have a defense of 20 on something but he lives through almost everything.......the key is oet survivability and the shields paired with the pet defense/resist IO's make this possible

I just released the name Shadowgate....had it on my MM since 2019 but it no longer fit. Hope someone finds a use for it
