Dark/Dark Build request

[Hu5h]

Hey everyone. I have been playing with a bunch of different builds and concepts for a scrapper and finally think I've found the combination I like. However I'm having either endurance problems or survival problems depending on the builds I've tried.

 

I would love any build suggestions or just tips on playing dark/dark in general.

OK, basically Dark Armor creates a lot of endurance issues, what I have done so far everytime I levelled a DA char is:

 

- Slot a Kismet asap, that'll help you with to hit, last thing you want is miss attacks so the can drain your end for longer

- Besides slotting your toggles for endrdx, you will need to micro-manage them turning them on and off. Karmas and Steadfast Protection KB Prot enhancements are also helpful to avoid Acrobatics.

- The priority is to slot endrdx everywhere, especially your attacks. I personally also avoid Hasten, mainly for concept reasons with Dark chars but in any case, Hasten is an end hog so, if you go for 

    it, don't put it in auto, just click it when starting to fight.

- Maybe you also want to adjust your insp drops to just blues and purples, you will be popping blue inspirations like crazy until you incarnate and/or put some serious end rdx / end recovery sets.

- Try getting all the +endurance Accolades.

 

I hope this helps.

I tried digging around on the old retail forums for dark/dark build for my own use, but what I found was a bit too old and outdated. I think looking at builds that use one or the other and combining them might be the best starting point.

My build is from a long time ago, and I have debated on taking Nimble Slash or not for a while.  Here is something, hope it helps.

Thank you all for the info. Coming back the game and playing for the last few weeks has shown me how much I've forgotten (or never learned).
