Boogeyman's greatest Fear Build ....

luumina

Boogeryman is certainly scarry, but what scares the boogeyman ??? Right now, i'm watching the food network and Halloween Wars is on. So i need some ideas.

luumina

i was going to go darkness, but i think they boogeyman would be at home in the dark. I have a Jason Vorhees Mask, and the chainsaw, but thats kinda a rip off.

luumina

Alright, i have an idea: The Winchester Brothers from Supernatural, but what powers would you give them ???

flowcyto

Okay these are all quite different builds. Since I'd rather just settle on giving one build, do you still want something for the last idea w/ Supernatural?

luumina

sorry flo, i've been busy with rl. I guess what i want is a Darkness Build. Its something i haven't spent alot of time leveling.

Okay, well here's a simple Darkness dps build that you can edit to your liking:

The open power slots can be w/e ya want.

For AoE, it mostly just uses SEmbrace, while it alternates between SBlast and ERuin for single-target dps. The Summon Shadows can be thrown in for some extra damage, distraction, and background healing. The build should be pretty easy to use overall. Gears mostly for Ego, w/ some Con and Rec.

Flow, just curious: Was this build meant to have two active healing powers? (Conviction and Resurgence)

flowcyto

Eh, a bit weird to necro this thread to ask that.

Regardless, it's often a good idea to include an Active Defense (AD) in a build. It's usually going to be Resurgence these days, since it's so strong now, but other ADs can provide mitigation options (since Resurgence is a heal, and not an actual mitigation cd). I also often include at least one power that can provide self-healing on a relatively short cd (like Conviction), though this isn't typically as important to include, depending on your own goals, resources, and/or in-game experience.
