Beasts/Dark Miasma build imput please

[Neiska]

Hello forums,

 

I have never really played Beasts nor Dark, so some feedback would be appreciated. I am used to higher defense/resistance values, so I am unsure if this build is bad or if thats just something to expect in a debuff set.

 

Notes -

1. I wanted to use a few other tools/powers I never tried before, such as Enflame, Spirit Ward, etc.

2. I am overall pleased how this pet slotting looks, but I am uncertain about the Dark slotting.

 

Thanks bunches in advance

 I've never used beasts before but dark is a set I use almost exclusively.....I'm by no means a master of understanding but I have found builds that work to my playstyle that you can use to get an idea from.....I've done demon/dark, necro/dark and bots/dark. With dark slotting I focused on to hit debuffs everywher I could and slotted fearsome stare with it as well with the proc to get the defense rating and use it as an attack

 

 Here's my current main as she is....demon/dark

  Maybe this which gets you softcapped to ranged defense and s/l resist cap....endurance will be a bit rough but should survive most things. Again I'm no expert and seem to make wird builds but it could ne an interestingly fun build to play around with

Thank you very much @DocMidknight, i will have a look. I have played MMs a lot as well, but I have never tried beasts, and only played dark to like, level 12? Usually go robots/demons/thugs with ea/time/thermal etc. 

 

So figured i would try a pairing i never tried before, with a theme. 

 

Thanks bunches again, will have a look at your version

 

PS - several people in discord said petrify (and black hole) was skippable from dark? is that not the case?

  Black Hole is completely skippable.....petrify can be skipped, I use it alot in my builds but it can be skipped very easily without missing a beat.

If you haven't already looked at it, check out my Dark Miasma guide stickied to the top of this forum. Might have some info you might find handy. 🙂
