Advice on Invul / SS

[Snarky]

Here is my tentative revision.  I know this is a better version that the above.  Losing Gloom hurts a little.  But it was not maximizing my damage in many ways.  I need to be right up on enemies.  Gloom lets me 'pretend' to be a Blaster, which the build is crappy at.  the other two soul mastery powers are very enhanced and clean AoE right on me.  Gloom was not good.  Mystic Bolt, while even crappier, can pull/ghetto mez and will be something I use tactically (very low damage and long activation)  Touch of Fear was not needed for an AoE attack chain and was situationally helpful at best.  Giving up those I got Rune of protection (which is up 50% time) and a damage proc in Cloak of Fear. (and a two set bonus there giving Energy Res)

 

When i respec I will change order of the powers slightly.  This was a "Hot Swap" in MiDs to see if it would work.  It does!

Ok take a look at this - I improved a few things - Most importantly Energy Res - i think you should go Cardiac Core for Res and End.  I also added touch of Fear.

 

Snarky 2.2.mxd

 

 

 

I tried to get you to 45% melee defense - and i will revisit this but i fell a little short there.

 

Hope this helps though!
