[Griffyn]

Here's my first pass at my planned respec build. Please let me know what you think.  (NOTE: I'll be swapping the position of Living Shadows and Dark Grasp in the final build. The initial build was influenced by DFB runs.)

I just made one, trying to model him after the Spectre, if you're familiar with the character.  I don't have any advice for you, but thanks for giving ME some.  I've got him up to 11 or so looking at your build I'm pretty close to your plan.  So thanks!

You're welcome. Thanks for the vote of confidence. I just need the respec today and slotted mostly as list with attuned IOs. It played strong at multiple different levels. I did swap the order of a few powers (Dark Grasp/Living Shadows, Howling Twilight/Shadowfall) but the slotting was the same.
