Dark/Dark/Soul - How do I add more dmg to my build?

SmokenBongs · September 6, 2020

1st off, thanks for taking the time to stop by my post!

If the originator of the build sees this, I greatly apologize that I am unable to give you proper credit as it has allowed me to create a hero which I truly feel powerful on and thoroughly enjoy! During my previous scanning of the forums, I found your build and tried to recreate it. Sadly, I lost the original before I was able to complete it, but I believe I got close.

For anyone who has not experienced the Dark/Dark/Soul Controller, it's a battlefield master! You lock most stuff down and you remove the ability of the remaining targets to hit anything. You'll be providing amazing support to your team via buffs and debuffs with ample healing ability for whatever gets through. Your pets are cool when they can survive (though they get lost sometimes and can die easily). The only thing I seem to be wanting is more dmg... I know, I want it all! haha

I've only recently came back to the game and hadn't gotten to experience much of the late game content when I previously played. Now that I'm 50 and geared her fairly well (I think), I've decided that Obscura Luna (going for the Dark Moon theme which fits the powers and her SOOOOO well) is going to be my main! Now it's time to work on getting her incarnates and such.

This brings me to a couple questions that I'm hoping some kind heroes or villains can assist me with:

1) Do you have any tips on improving the build linked below?

2) Will I use my incarnates to boost damage or am I missing another way?

3) Does anyone have recommendations on incarnates? (I've never experienced them, so it's all new to me)

4) Is there an ideal chain I should be following for AOE and Single Target?

Any and all assistance is greatly appreciated!

Here is the build:

This could be one of my oldwe builds. It looks familiar because it doesn’t use a ton of procs like many here do. I tend to build for defense and party assistance. I have a newer build I can post later.

You can definitely ramp up the damage by including more procs and lose some set bonuses. Dark has many ways to amp up damage output via procs 🙂 I just don’t lean on procs personally. But there are some here who can squeeze a ton of extra damage using them.

SmokenBongs · September 6, 2020

Doc Ranger, you are the originator of the build I was trying to mimic! Thank you so much for sharing your finished product!

Do you have any recommendations on incarnates?

Does anyone with proc experience have any suggestions on upping DPS, but still being survivable?

Appreciate it!

Doc Ranger · September 7, 2020

Almost every power in these sets can take at least a couple dmg procs. You will lose a few set bonuses here and there but the damage will go up for sure.

Just click on each power in the sets in mids and take a look at all the options. Dk/Dk has an extremely high proc monster potential 🙂

Coyote · September 7, 2020

The shortest and simplest thing to say is that Ghost Widow's set isn't that great for set bonuses. And your main single-target damage comes from your single-target Hold, slotted with procs. Put one Acc/Mez HO in it, and then 5 damage procs including both purples. This one move won't lose you much in set bonuses, and it will almost double the power's damage, and it's immediate damage rather than DoT.

The second thing is that Living Shadows doesnt' do that much damage base, but does get good damage from procs. I'd 6- slot it, using all 5 available damage procs, and an Acc/Dam IO. You do lose the bonuses from a nice set, but you still improve its power a lot.

That sacrifices only two powers worth of set bonuses, and gets you a lot of extra damage.

Emerald_Ghost · September 7, 2020

i just made a dark dark controller and i would like to get a good build recommendation using sorcery pool. thx in advance for any advice or post a mids build link is fine too. Damage and party assistance is important to me rather than my own defense but i'll take that too

Thanks for the advice, I'll try increasing the procs of those 2 powers and see if that leaves me feeling good or if I need to add procs to more powers as Doc Suggested.

I honestly only had the Ghost Widow's Set in there as a filler and will be happy to replace it!

Also, any recommendations on Incarnate choices?

How do I add more dmg to my build?

Well, there is a lot, but first things first, stop slotting things for mezz duration and start slotting them for damage. Your duration is plenty long already. Same for debuffs, swap those for damage sets. If there are powers you cannot slot damage sets into, look at damage procs to make it do damage (not your defensive powers, of course). Dump the Fighting pool and pick up Leadership. You have good Def, good ToHit Debuffs, and a great heal, you really don't need Tough and Weave, especially if you are going for damage. Dump some of those LoTGs that are barely doing anything for you and slot up Obliteration. Slot up Recharge on Soul Drain. Lastly, look at your sets and your global recharge bonus. Now that we are slotting mostly damage sets, look at the ones that add to your global recharge. Get that up, so those powers come back quicker. Work on all that, and you should be grinding stuff down in no time.

JnEricsonx · September 13, 2020

I can only speak for myself, but when I made my Dark/Dark/Psi controller, I made them way more about control/debuff. Some damage from a few procs, including one in my Dark Servant, but that, Haunt, and Umbra Beast were more my "Damage". Now, you wanna talk about my Plant/Storm Controller, SHE throws around the damage between CC, Tornado, Lightning Storm, etc.

darg · September 15, 2020

What are skillable powers for both?

DocMidknight · September 20, 2020

As my main is a dark/dark soul troller I thought I'd share my build. It's got a few procs along with ranged defense and s/l resists, I also managed perma fade, hasten, haunts and soul absorption. He's been really fun to play and has been known to survive things he shouldn't....looking at some crazy luck factoring in there as opposed to anything else.

SmokenBongs · September 21, 2020

Hey @DocMidknight thank you so much for sharing your build! I definitely like the look of it. I just have a couple follow up questions if you don't mind.

I see you have Agility chosen, but you appear to be def softcapped without it. Any reason for that choice?

I'm also wondering if you need the blessing of the zephyr in Hover as you appear to be set with defense without it?

How do you like the possess power?

I see no Soul Drain... isn't that the biggest thing in Soul Mastery?

Thanks again for stopping in to share, and if you have the time to answer those questions, it would be greatly appreciated!

Edited September 22, 2020 by SmokenBongs

DocMidknight · September 22, 2020

@SmokenBongs, I'm glad you liked the build as far as your questions here goes.....

I chose agility for a few reasons......it added to what I was looking for to get the defense and the recharge up to make some things perma or near enough to perma and the endurance modification didn't hurt either. While I am softcapped to ranged and with fade active I'm way over but when I first started Doc and hit 50 I tried several different builds and had intuition as my alpha but then I went to DA and realized I like the missions there and wanted the extra defense to hit incarnate cap which I believe is 59.

BotZ in hover was more about my playstyle than the bonuses. I usually play in hover mode so the added speed and endredux from the pair helps out with maneuverability.

Possess.........I love possess, especially at the lower levels when all the goodies aren't there for you it can save your bacon against tougher baddies. I really like how they turn into shadow version of themselves and confusing EB's and AV's is really fun.

Is there a way to see this in mids? I don't really know what a lot of the enhancements are in your powers, but i want to definitely use this.

Yes. The cheat method i just figured out yesterday is to R click on Click this data link to open build, BUT open it in a new window not a new tab. Then ins the address bar click ender and it brings up the download so you can open it in mids.

At least this is how I have to do it.

Here's the most recent build.......as of July of 2022 according to my save date. Still having a blast play this dark beast and I've attached the file for easy download.

Hope it helps

It's a two year old thread, that build is going to be old. Here's what I currently have for mine.

Acerola Late 2022 - Corruptor (Dark Blast).mxd 4.86 kB · 1 download

This is for corruptor, I think you might have misread me and that's fair. I was looking for controller.
