Ringo Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 No Dark love here? Ridiculous! The set has -res, -acc, -dam, a group heal that does -regen, a pet that does all that too, plus the -regen of Howling Twilight (it rezzes people as a bonus). Increasing damage through buffs or -res means nothing if your hard target just regenerates its HP faster than you can dish it. No regen though? Doesn't matter if you're only doing -1hp per second, that target will go down (eventually) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those 2 powers replace Fearsome stare (controllers don't need - Also in dark primary) and the power almost nobody picks. It literally gives more survivability, with the 2 powers, than scrapper secondaries excepting the debuff resist and mez protection. It also does that for the teammates near you. It also gets all the rest of /dark. Edited October 3, 2023 by bustacap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a solid Defender set -- my mistake was paring it with /Water which just isn't working for me. One of my main heroes on live was a Dark/Rad defender....I think I am about to re-roll my Dark/Water into Dark/Rad (or maybe Dark/Dark to capitalize on the -to hit). Dark/ is fantastic -- its one of my favorite original sets. It was actually bomb back on live. But some of the newer Defender sets do outshine it (Cold and Nature to be specific -- I do hate playing Electric). I understand why it is underplayed -- it is a nuanced set and you really only shine if you know how to use it well. It has the best rezz power and the best targeted heal (number wise I believe, correct me if i'm wrong). Well back to my Dark/ drawing board to replace /Water. 1 1 Global: @Renatos Main Defenders on Everlasting: Liza Frost - Lv.50 Cold/Ice; Tara Sonara - Lv.50 Nature/Sonic; Voice of Gaia - Lv.50 Sonic/Sonic; Tenebrous Tide - Lv.50 Dark/Water; Elloria Neutrina - Lv.50 Empathy/Radiation; Hailblast - Lv.50 Storm/Storm; Elektra Cross - Lv.50 Electric/Electric; Agent Sureshot - Lv.50 Trick Arrow/Electric; Agent Blayze - Lv.46 Thermal/Fire; Twilight Servant - Lv.42 Time/Dark; Commander Trax - Lv.29 Traps/Beam Rifle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
