Dark armor/fire skippable powers

Recommended Posts

Have a theme in mind, thinking of rolling the above. I've never played either of these power sets so I'm not sure what I can afford to skip in the primary and secondary; any advice would be appreciated.

 

I do know it's gonna be pretty costly to IO properly.

I'm going to argue that you want either Oppressive Gloom or Cloak of Fear (If not both)

 

Oppressive Gloom is only mag 2 but it's really cheap to run (you can get away with 1 slotting it)

Cloak of Fear is mag 3, but it's really expensive to run

 

I like Breath of Fire, Take either Incinerate or Greater Fire Sword, you don't need both, they do the same DPS and you'll have enough of an attack chain already that you'll be good.

 

Taunt... you're a tank, take it.

What this team needs is more Defenders

This is my Dark/Fire build. It's actually insane how much ST and AoE damage you can do with procs on the hard hitting abilities. If you're fighting a pack of 54's, most of the time only the bosses remain after your 3 AoE's go off. 

 

With 90% res to most damage and a full HP heal every 8 seconds, all 3 of the last abilities in Dark Armor are not at all worth taking IMO.

This is my build dude.  You just copied it after I posted it in your thread and changed it slightly.  I'm glad you like it, but don't try to pass it off as your creation if you are just going to make it slightly worse.  Dropping gloom is really bad for your DPS.  Here's the original build:
