Spines/Dark - Lvl 19 (XP Locked)

[Fedifensor]

The following is a bit of experiment.  I want to be able to get low-level salvage drops without continually creating new low-level characters.  So, I created a character designed to be able to function effectively for hunting salvage at level 19, fighting foes of his level or below (usually greens and blues, since salvage drops are the same chance from green and red foes).  This is not a theoretical build - I have the exact enhancements listed below, and I have tested this extensively on the northeastern side of Boomtown.  XP is turned off, so I will stay level 19 with this character for the foreseeable future. 

 

I have three of the prestige enhancements slotted, as they're free, and fully functional at level 19.  Might of the Empire is particularly useful in Death Shroud with the chance for knockdown - I see it trigger fairly often.  I normally have Dark Embrace, Death Shroud, Quills, and Obsidian Shield active, adding Murky Cloud against Clockwork (due to energy attacks and End drain).  My standard opener is Build Up, Spine Burst, and (if needed) Dark Regeneration, followed by Lunge and Impale against Lieutenants, and firing Spine Burst again every time it is off cooldown.  Death Shroud and Quills do the rest of the work.  Inspirations drop frequently, and I use them when I run out of greens and blues to fight and need to take down equal-level (white) foes.
