Katana / Dark Build Help

[ASLNDR1]

Greetings all,

 

Trying to get Katana / Dark scraper build - so far had been unable to get resists / defenses  anywhere near caps, is that possible?

 

Review & suggestions would be much appreciated.  I want to stay with those powersets and sorcery for thematic reasons, powers can be changed to meet the overall objectives of perma-haste, defense and resists as close to softcaps as practical.

 

(first time I am posting a build to forums, hope its done right)

Pretty close to capping S/L/F/C/N/P resists if Cardiac or Resilience Alpha is taken. Also L/M will be at softcap def if Divine Avalanche is used every 10ish seconds. Add it regularly to an attack rotation.

 

Use the Set Bonus Finder to help find what's needed. Definitely add the ATO2 unique. Be wiling to use IO Boosters to help get there. Be willing to compromise to get the more important stats higher/capped. Dark Regeneration benefits from accuracy.

 

 

Added Resilient Core, Activated Divine Av, and switched a few IOs around. Stats look like:

I’d get melee def to 45 or bit above. Then S/l resist to cap. Rest on resist whatever should be fine. Energy is the next big one after s/l and think it’s the toughest to get on dark anyway.  Still have the awesome heal if need be.

Thank you - much improved build.

 

Where in MIDS is the ability to activate a power (like the Divine Avalanche) to see effects on stats?
