Movie Slasher build ideas? (Single Blade + Dark DPS)

horripilante

Was trying to build something similar to a horror movie slasher monster with single balde attacks and darkness powers
https://aesica.net/co/herocreator.htm?v=38&n=&d=12360nG2J3600f0000D000EF00D500L100L300LC00EE00DA00LB000000000000000000000000020000000010000000000&e=

I had also picked the Night Warrior/ Sneak/Shadow stryke power/buff
Was looking for a proper way to make it work/survive.

Yea, if you wanted to mix SB and Darkness, then here's one way I'd suggest:

Level 10: Recovery (Secondary)
Level 15: Constitution (Secondary)

Warden: The Best Defense (3/3)
Mastery: Dexterity Mastery (1/1)

(The self-res could be replaced w/ something else, if you want)

The basic attacks are mostly standard for SB: Slash (or Reaper's Caress) as a basic combo to build bleeds, Reaper's Embrace to rupture the bleeds, and Scything Blade as a basic pbAoE. Dark Tether seemed thematic (roping victims in), but it can also give you another self-heal and ground flying enemies. I kept Void Shift and Ebon Void cause they also seemed fitting. A threat wipe can also be helpful for a stealthy build, so I added a basic one in Mind Wipe (could be a different one, if desired). The AoE KD adv on Scything Blade can also be traded for R2, if you want more dmg form it. Regardless, the build gears mostly for Dex, w/ some Con and Rec.

Steadfast could also prob work as the EU here (and that scales more w/ Dex). Str PSS (STR/Dex/Con, but still Dex-focused) could also potentially work well for the build.
