Help me Optimize SR/DM Build Please.

My main thing is to pick up touch of fear and gloom, but this affects my S/L res due to enhancements. Is Touch of Fear worth it? Was thinking of taking 3 slots from health out and adding to a skill. Just want to have ample AOE without sacrificing too much. Thanks in advance.

• Touch of Fear works really well as a proc bomb. I slot with 1 acc and 4 procs (don't slot fear or -tohit procs, they'll only hit the primary target).
• Don't slot Gauntleted Fist in Dark Consumption. Slot it in an attack that you use more often to take advantage of the +absorb proc. Consider splitting the set 3/3 between 2 powers. You'll give up the 6% S/L res bonus but you'll double up on the 6% E/N res bonus. Dark Consumption can be 3-slotted with an endmod set.
• Why are you skipping Midnight Grasp? It's the highest DPA attack in the set.
• Drop Acrobatics. It serves no purpose. Practice Brawler gives you all the kb and mezz protection you need.
• Replace 2 slots in Siphon Life with heals. You don't need the 5 and 6 piece typed defense bonuses.
• Replace 2 slots in Gloom with procs. You don't need the 5 and 6 piece typed defense bonuses.

Am I getting closer?

If you want ample aoe, take dark oblit. 4 damage procs, 2 other slots depending on what enhancement values and set bonuses you need.

 

Tanker dark oblit has increased radius (22.5 ft). Tof is 9ft. So it's valuable despite having a much longer rech than tof. The downside is it's available late, but you're taking tof late anyway.

 

I know why you're not splitting up your gauntleted fist. It's for the 6% SL res. If you want SL res, an option is to take all 4 prestige sprints and slot 2x celerity in all of them and sprint. You can get 11.25% SL res this way for 5 slots, and it allows more freedom in slotting your ATIO.

Any chance you can make the build off my mids build? Issue i am having is it doesn't seem to want to let me grab dark oblit and slot it.

I have a shield/dark Tanker and I agree with the above mentioned, proc touch of Fear. It hits hard and dark obliteration cannot come Close to the DPS gain. Also TOF will place a 12% accuracy debuff and it stacks.

I would go for something like this.

• 102.5% global rech. - perma-hasten with your Alpha on (Agility). 
• Midnight Grasp will hit like a truck. Nice attack chain with MG, Gloom, Smite/SL, SM/Dark Oblit/ToF, MG roughly. 
• I'm a bit out of touch but Elude isn't worth it with the end crash when it stops so not worth it for me. 
• Should be a fun toon with SL for your heal and great defences! 
• Slotted a good few more purples but very achievable these days after a few week of speed TFs 😉 

Good luck 😄
