Dark/Martial build help and refinement

[Mezegis]

Hello,

 

I've never tried Dark Armor or Martial arts, and word on the streets is they can work decent together.  Trolling through MIDS on my lunch break and I can see why, and I think I've found my next character.  So now I'm looking for help with the build, ways to refine or better slotting options for powers.  

 

Thanks!

I'd have to look at mine when I get home, but you're right. DA/MA is extremely tough. Can build for pretty much capped resists(to most everything) and capped defenses.

 I 6 slotted death shroud. It'll help boost your damage output over time. I'll post my build later.

It just seemed like you wouldnt get that much ROI for the slots.  2 slots for 14 damage or 6 for like 35... 4 slots for 20 damage seemed like I could do better elsewhere.  I was tempted to drop to 1 end red once I got incarnates and better end management.

Looks pretty good. Here's mine for comparison. It's fairly similar I think. I use Kismet for the to-hit buff, and Focused Accuracy if I'm to-hit debuffed, as I like to hit, and I like to keep my defense up.  I have Hasten for recharge. More healing in Dark Regen specifically for uplevel AVs if I'm unable to have a crowd around me. Lots of recharge resistance as I hate being recharge debuffed. Oppressive Gloom only because it's easier on the endurance. Our weakness is defense debuffs, but there's not much to do about that on Dark Armor. Barrier or Ageless I guess. If going Ageless, probably Tactics rather than Focused Accuracy to help the team more and because the debuff resistance won't be as important. I went Barrier. Well, ultimately I went Shield/MA to solve my defense debuff problems, but until then, my Dark/MA was my favorite character.

I think I mainly 6 slotted to pick up set bonuses 

[Sovera]

Dark/MA can go to 45% defense to Melee, Ranged and AoE which greatly boosts the sturdiness of the build on top of everything else. Once adding either Oppressive Gloom or Cloak of Fear (but not both I think) it is another layer though it (usually) only works on minions (but we can change that).

 

My usual advice is the usual: let your ATO do its work and slot less accounting for 13% to all resistances (or just 6.7% since Mids already accounts for one stack). Then account for another 5% from Barrier which is the usual choice. Now distribute those slots around since more resistances past 90% will do squat.

 

Same for defense. 40% is enough, then Barrier adds another 5%. This advice doesn't count if wishing to go Ageless instead, but not much point in Ageless in a world where Recovery Serums exist. On top of that Dark Regen works as a ghetto endurance clickie with a Theft of Essence proc in it.

So, for example, despite only showing 79% to all the things (sacrifices were made so not to Toxic but I don't feel there is enough Toxic in the game to be -that- worrying, and there is always Dark Regen) they will all go past 90% once a second ATO stack is up and Barrier has been used. Most of the time nothing is going to dent you in the first place as it needs to get past 40% defense -and- 80%-90% resists (even without Barrier). Barrier is mostly a panic button for you and your team. You if defense debuffs stack too fast, your team is they are being overwhelmed or you notice the Blaster is suicidal and is all Ageless/Clarion for maximal dakka.

 

- Proc bombing Dark Regen is definitely something that can be done since it recharges pretty fast and the Theft of Essence (nearly always) ensures you get its cost back at the start of a fight. I would still dedicate a slot or two for the endurance cost but it still leaves three slots to proc bomb with.

- The build is pretty CC heavy between stuns from Cobra, KD from Crane, more KDs from Dragon, then more stuns from Oppressive.

- Cobra Strike stacks with Oppressive Gloom so you can stun bosses from the get go. Hidden bonus: complete attack chain before level 20. If not focused on pylons (because CAK takes a -res proc) then the difference between both is minimal.

- FF proc in both Crane Kick and Dragon Tail ensure moar recharge. So the whole 'use Dark Regen as a proc bomb' is valid. Burn it ain't, but, MA has anemic AoE so any help is welcome.

- Definitely level with Recovery Serums at hand.
