I've made a hero named Eclipse and I've been fiddling with shadow and light powers for a little under a week now. I am... just failing miserably at making it work. Any help would be appreciated. I can make up one of my attempts and post it later if it helps? Role is DPS

    Well, Celestial doesn't really have good dps powers, though Vengeance's RD adv does allow you to build around spec-related debuffs to boost team dmg and provide a bit of support. This will come at the expense of your personal dps being lower, though. Here's an example of that:

    (Unnamed Build) - Freeform (Ranged Damage)
    v3.44:37

    Super Stats
    Level 6: Presence (Primary)
    Level 10: Intelligence (Secondary)
    Level 15: Constitution (Secondary)

    Talents
    Level 1: The Witch (Con: 10, Int: 8, Pre: 10, Rec: 10)
    Level 6: Diplomatic (Int: 5, Pre: 5)
    Level 9: Negotiator (Int: 5, Rec: 5)
    Level 12: Quick Recovery (Con: 5, Rec: 5)
    Level 15: Lasting Impression (Pre: 5, Rec: 5)
    Level 18: Healthy Mind (Con: 5, Int: 5)
    Level 21: Shrug It Off (Con: 5, Pre: 5)

    Powers
    Level 1: Shadow Bolt
    Level 1: Shadow Blast (Psychotic Break, Devoid)
    Level 6: Shadow Form (Rank 2, Rank 3)
    Level 8: Concentration
    Level 11: Conjuring
    Level 14: Vengeance (Rank 2, Redemption Denied)
    Level 17: Will-o'-the-Wisp (Guide, Ghost Fire)
    Level 20: Resurgence (Rank 2)
    Level 23: Ebon Ruin (Rank 2, Nyctophobia)
    Level 26: Conviction (Rank 2, Rank 3)
    Level 29: Ascension (Rank 2, Judgment)
    Level 32: Ebon Void (Rank 2)
    Level 35:
    Level 38:
    Adv. Points: 32/36

    Travel Powers
    Level 6:
    Level 35:

    Specializations
    Presence: Repurpose (3/3)
    Presence: Dominion (2/2)
    Presence: Moment of Glory (2/3)
    Presence: Force of Will (1/2)
    Presence: Vulnerability (2/2)
    Sentinel: Torment (2/2)
    Sentinel: Sentinel Aura (3/3)
    Sentinel: Moment of Need (2/3)
    Sentinel: Wither (2/2)
    Sentinel: Genesis (1/2)
    Overseer: Administer (2/3)
    Overseer: Ruthless (2/2)
    Overseer: Impact (2/2)
    Overseer: Trapped (3/3)
    Overseer: Conservation (1/2)
    Mastery: Sentinel Mastery (1/1)

    The last 2 powers can be w/e ya want.

    The Wisp can help debuff w/ Illum for Ascension's adv, as well as help roll Conjuring (SBlast's Devoid also can proc Conjuring). SBlast's Devoid can boost your single-target dmg a bit, while charged Vengeance can be used to both AoE and put up spec debuffs like Wither, Vuln, Trapped, and Sentinel Mastery. I kept ERuin in there so you still have a stronger single-target attack as an option. The Wisp could also be traded for Illumination (the power) itself. Gears mostly for Int, w/ some Con and Pres.

    Here's a Celestial/Darkness DPS build option.

    (Unnamed Build) - Freeform (Any / Multiple)
    v3.44:37

    Super Stats
    Level 6: Presence (Primary)
    Level 10: Constitution (Secondary)
    Level 15: Recovery (Secondary)

    Talents
    Level 1: The Witch (Con: 10, Int: 8, Pre: 10, Rec: 10)
    Level 6: Shrug It Off (Con: 5, Pre: 5)
    Level 9: Quick Recovery (Con: 5, Rec: 5)
    Level 12: Lasting Impression (Pre: 5, Rec: 5)
    Level 15: Prodigy (Pre: 5, End: 5)
    Level 18: Boundless Reserves (Con: 5, End: 5)
    Level 21: Survival Training (Dex: 3, Con: 3, Pre: 3, Rec: 2, End: 2)

    Powers
    Level 1: Shadow Bolt
    Level 1: Shadow Blast (Rank 2, Devoid)
    Level 6: Ebon Void (Rank 2, Rank 3)
    Level 8: Soul Vortex (Soul Drain, Fear Machine)
    Level 11: Shadow Manifestation
    Level 14: Spirit Reverberation
    Level 17: Ebon Ruin (Rank 2, Nyctophobia, Darkness Feast)
    Level 20: Shadow Form (Rank 2, Rank 3)
    Level 23: Resurgence
    Level 26: Conviction (Rank 2, Rank 3)
    Level 29: Vengeance (Rank 2, Rank 3)
    Level 32: Blinding Light
    Level 35: Fiery Embrace
    Level 38: Planar Fracture (Rank 2, Rank 3)
    Adv. Points: 33/36

    Travel Powers
    Level 6:
    Level 35:

    Specializations
    Presence: Repurpose (2/3)
    Presence: Grandeur (3/3)
    Presence: Moment of Glory (3/3)
    Presence: Force of Will (2/2)
    Avenger: Ruthless (2/2)
    Avenger: Anguish (2/2)
    Avenger: Round 'em Up (3/3)
    Avenger: Preemptive Strike (3/3)
    Guardian: Fortified Gear (3/3)
    Guardian: Ruthless (2/2)
    Guardian: Find the Mark (3/3)
    Guardian: The Best Defense (2/3)
    Mastery: Guardian Mastery (1/1)

    For single target attacks you can rotate between Shadow Blast and Ebon Ruin to apply and keep up the Devoid debuff and proc Preemptive Strike for Ebon Ruin. Soul Vortex can be kept up whether using against a single target or to help corral mobs with Vengeance as your AoE primary damage.

    The build stacks PRE as the primary SS with REC for your EU and CON to put some more survivability.
