[Build Request] Dark/Water

[Tonio]

I'm no good at making builds, don't really know which powers work best, and which power combinations work, even worse where to slot what... and while I don't mind experimenting, I would like to have something to look forward to, so if anybody has, or can get or make, a Dark/Water defender build, I'd love to use it as a guide. 😄

Here is this, feel free to trade powers as you see fit. This is softcapped to melee and ranged, max to s/l res, perma hasten, lots of FF procs from water burst and geyser, perma soul drain after one FF proc, and dark consumption to help with endurance.

Thanks!

 

I notice you only took the first 5 powers in the primary... would this build work better as a Corruptor, then?

Yes, I believe so, but if you are going to roll a corruptor with dark miasma I would go fire/dark. The other dark powers are good, but they lose effectiveness when you are fighting +4x8 and so I don't typically take them. I have a very effective fire/dark corruptor that I enjoy playing.

[Tonio]

Hm, to be honest, Water was the primary pick, theme-wise (recolored to look like crude oil).  I could make fire/dark work within the theme (petroleum does burn, after all), but I really want to stick with Water.  I'm not really going for extreme min/max performance with this toon, so I'll try Water/Dark Corruptor and see if that works better.  Thanks!
