Nothing?   Anyway to get to 45% s/l defense maybe?

[Sovera]

Snipe won't be up enough to be used in a regular chain. Either take Shadow Punch instead and have a fast Siphon Life , Shadow Punch, Smite, Shadow Punch, or take Midnight Grasp for a slower but stronger Midnight Grasp, Smite, Siphon Life, Smite.

 

Burn is strong enough to be used as a ST attack as well so I moved the purple damage proc there instead of Shadow Maul.  Burn has a very good synergy with damage procs due to under the hood mechanics so a minimum of two damage procs there and more if recharge/damage can be kept up.

 

This isn't perfect yet but tweak things a bit more to reach 70% to S/L and you can trust Barrier to give you the last 5%. Fire Armor is squishy so you're going to want Barrier anyway, so you might as well play to its strengths AKA permanent 5% to defense and resistances, ergo building defense to 40% only. For most of the time you will have no need for Barrier as you melt things, but when you're in trouble you can lean on it and Shadow Meld for the last minute before Barrier is back up.

 

 

As a last note you might get more bang for your buck with a Brute since they will keep mobs close. The second you drop Burn mobs high tail it and even if you don't they will -still- high tail it when their HP drops to 20%-ish. Benny Hill themesong in the background. This won't happen with a Brute/Tanker.

I'd definitely go for S/L softcap. I find it far more efective than 75% res. Both though would be ideal. Also, Midnight Grasp is a must have.

[Nightmarer 2]

Maybe something like this. I'd like an aoe immob because of the fear effect Burn has on scrappers / stalkers, I hate when they scatter around. I also prefer my Burn with as many procs as possible but in the case I preferred the +rchg and +acc
