War Mace / Dark - requesting tips or a build, please and thank you!

[Jayhawk]

As the title says, I'm looking for some tips if you have any, or a build to work towards - as both of these sets are relatively new to me. Actually scrappers in general are new to me, having only ever played a claws/regen and a katana/ma.

Currently hovering at 30, and it's a bit of a slog. Not interested in starting over, but happy to respec to a playable version of this guy. 

 

Cheers!

I found War Mace to be a slog while leveling up, but it greatly improves with global +Recharge bonuses. For my War Mace/Invulnerability build, I ended up with LotG Mules for my last 3 power picks. My build does not use Hasten, but you may want to consider adding it as a temporary stopgap while leveling. (Possibly somewhere between lvl 20 and 30?). Alternatively, you could try to work recharge into the individual attacks.

 

The good news is that Crowd Control (at level 32) is an awesome power when slotted.

 

As with many DPS-dealing AT, I suggest that you have Build Up available as often as possible.

War mace is high endurance usage and dark armor is very high endurance usage, so the blue bar will be your personal demon until epic pools.  Slot lots of endurance reduction in your attack, two slot endurance with perf shifter end mod + proc, three slot health with panacea proc, miracle proc, numinas proc.  You can always respec out later if you address endurance through other means.

Basically, you want the Theft of Essence proc in Dark Regeneration and I am afraid you will have to micro-manage your toggles until you have all your sets and Alpha slot. For what is worth, this is my build, I've found out I don't really need fighting pool because of the combined dmg mitigation in both DA and Mace but yeah, DA is a tough on to lvl up and hard to play until you get Cardiac Alpha:
