Anyone have a newbie Dark/Dark leveling build?

I’m going to dabble with a dark/dark blaster after I get my tanker up to 25.  So does anyone have a newbie leveling build? I’m not into blapping, if that is useful for what I’m requesting

Be aware that you're gimping yourself when trying to force a dedicated blapping set like dark to conform to your preference. Dark manipulations "blaps" cover dark blast's lackluster single target damage and without them; you are left with a set who neither has solid single target, nor have any notable AoE.

 

Only three of the dark manipulation powers are have any significant range, so as per your requirement you are pretty much left focusing on your primary powers; of which I would say Dark Blast, Gloom, Umbral Torrent and Aim for the low to mid-levels. Tenebrous is a weakish cone with some utility, that can be chained fairly nicely with Umbral if you queue the attacks quickly. Beyond that there isn't much to build around at low levels to be honest.

ok,  i didn't realize the the dark secondary was all blaps.    back to the drawing board then.  i'll have to find a more useful ranged centric secondary.

Tactical Arrow is the best set for focusing on ranged.

 

I echo this and it's AMAZING on a Dark/Toon esp since Tactical has a hold and Flash Arrow which synergizes very well with Dark/.

 

I also agree Altetikus.  A lot of people unknowingly pick secondary blapping sets which doesn't work for everyone.
