DP/Dark Blaster

[Maris]

So, I've set my mind to levelling a DP/Dark Manipulation blaster. The two don't seem to be too incompatible (esp soul drain/dark consumption/dark pit + hail of bullets), but I haven't found any suggested builds. If anyone might have one, or just general advice, I'd appreciate it.

[plainguy]

This is a quick swap from Ninja to Dark on my DP..

 

I will post a more cleaned up build later, but it is clear you can get defense cap if needed along with the EXTRA Hit Debuff of dark.

[Maris]

Ah, thank you! That helps! I was thinking personally I'd treat Dark Consumption as a proc nuke, go for a fairly blappery build, maybe. But that's a good starting point!

[plainguy]

I actually had another build

 

Here is is.. 5 points short Negative defense. But the Hit debuff will put you at far past defense cap.
