This build has soft-cap defense to all positions BEFORE Incarnates, perma-hasten with only one application of Force Feedback +recharge, Soul Drain is more or less perma with a few applications of Force Feedback. AoE is actually pretty respectable with Fireball, Shield Charge and Pyro/Void Judgement. Having a fully slotted Char comes in handy more often than I ever thought it would (LGTF anyone?) but also was a great place to get some amazing defense bonuses. Let me know what you think! I am not a huge fan of shadow maul, it has really low dpa, but for added AoE it isn't bad. I just wish the devs would have put another PBAoE power in DM.

I just wish the devs would have put another PBAoE power in DM. Mostly there as a mule for the +Global Crit chance. I use it sometimes, whenever the perfect situation arises, or if I'm exemplared. Other than that it's purely for the set that is in it. I've made and remade this build a lot and this seems to be the most optimal for what I wanted. My only pre-reqs were Soft capped defense to all positions and perma hasten. So anything outside of that wasn't really a goal for me. 1

Looks like your wish was granted https://forums.homecomingservers.com/topic/15822-focused-feedback-dark-melee-update/ Also looks like I don't need to edit my build because I already have dark Consumption slotted.

I’ve made and remade my Dark/Shield so many times... the current build is so tight. Might have to make drastic changes to get that mini nuke adequately slotted. 1

Camel Posted February 26, 2020 Posted February 26, 2020 So... I made a new build incorporating the new changes AND the new IOS and... well... it’s insane. Just did a solo ITF and rocked it. 1
Camel Posted February 26, 2020 Posted February 26, 2020 (edited) Wish I could have recorded, pictures aren’t the greatest as I was trying to get a good time and take some pics. Ended up being under 45 minutes! Did it at +0x8. Edited February 26, 2020 by cazden121 1
Camel Posted February 26, 2020 Posted February 26, 2020 With these changes, Dark/Shield is incredible. If anyone wants me to post the build I can. I’ve built my Dark/Shield dozens of times, and this one makes all my others pale in comparison. 4

Camel Posted February 26, 2020 Posted February 26, 2020 (edited) The new chance to heal IO in the Power Transfer set is God tier in Dark Consumption. You thought Dark/Shield was good with ONE heal? How about another that can heal you for upwards of 600 HP? Did I mention that the same power than can now heal you can also hit even leveled mobs for 600 damage BEFORE Soul Drain? I can’t even explain how awesome this is! Edited February 26, 2020 by cazden121 1 1
Camel Posted February 26, 2020 Posted February 26, 2020 It gets pretty whacky when you do use Soul Drain.... these are even level mobs. 😳
Neogumbercules Posted February 26, 2020 Posted February 26, 2020 I know this thread is about DM/Shield but I just did 416 DPS on a slap dash DM/Bio (with t4s and my robot drones lore pet out) and wowzers!

I think at this point the hype for the changes to Dark Melee are all that matter. Still doing testing on Dark Consumption.. It hits harder than Midnight Grasp when in point blank. I hit a Praefectus Castrorum boss for over 2300 damage with Dark Consumption and a Critical... Absolutely whacky. 1

Absolutely whacky. Yeah I was using it in the rotation. I'm not sure if it made a huge difference to DPS overall but it was still great even as an ST attack. I also crushed AE 125 with DM/Shield because of DC being so good. One things for sure, my next main will definitely be DM.

Murcielago Posted February 26, 2020 Author Posted February 26, 2020 I think someone said it here but six slotting Critical Strike into DC is insanely good.
