Who said Dark Armor can't be unkillable?  Not this guy.  Well done, great numbers, even without incarnates.

Some small changes.

 

You were focusing a bit too much on fire/cold defense and resistance which isn't terribly important. Energy was a bit too low which is more important. You also didn't add a Force Feedback proc in Thunderstrike which is useful considering Hasten was not taken.  The Theft of Essence in Dark Regen will be a game changer as well. The tanker ATO proc will work much better in a single target attack too.

 

It's late so I'm stopping here despite the build still being a mess but you might get some ideas. I would personally lower defense to 40%, then lower resistances to around 78% with one stack of the ATO and then rely on Barrier for the last 5%. Coupled with two stacks of the ATO you would get all resistances that were at 78% to end at 90%. It's gimmicky and relies on incarnates but allows to play with the slotting instead of pushing to 90% as you have which then wastes further ATO procs.

 

For endurance I would -probably- take Cardiac, but possibly just live off Recovery Serums since they are cheap and for regular play with multiple opponents the Theft of Essence proc can almost work like a ghetto endurance recovery clicky.

Hey thanks , bro!  Really wanted to work against the common idea of DA being useless 😊

It's a common idea that DA is useless??? It has a sometimes painful weakness to defense debuffs, but many sets do, and even that can be partially dealt with using Ageless or Barrier. I'm not sure it has other commonly-exploited weaknesses in the end game. Leveling I'd say endurance management is a weakness. But it's definitely not useless.

Ok, I get it, poor choice of words in my last response.  There's not a lot of talk about DA and  what I do hear is mostly negative.  After talking with a friend they expressed frustration with their DA toon's end drain issues and were impressed by the toon I was using at the time and they asked for help, so I posted this build up for them, not for debating whether or not DA is a good armor set or not, because as you can see, I think it can be quite badass
