Darkness/Pet Build

sovereignbreeze

So I'm looking to make a darkness/pet build. I want the theme to be sort of the underworld boss type. I'm open to anything really as long as it kind of fits a "darkness/undead" theme.

Thanks for the help!

Here's a pet build w/ Darkness. If you run into content that isn't pet friendly, then put away the pets and don't summon any new ones, switch the Hybrid role, and act like a ranged dps- relying more on SBlast, ERuin, and Shadow Embrace for offense. You can still do good dps in Hybrid role w/ AoED and those attacks.

Thanks flowcyto! This is a fun build. I moved the powers around but kept the base of the build and I'm having a fun time with it.

Depending on how important the pets are, you could just have a couple of pet spawning devices to give you the right "feel."

The pets aren't as important as the theme of a darkness/pestilence toon. I want him to be on the lines of "Anubis" keeper of underworld.
