Space/Star Themed Darkness Build

bld1

Good afternoon everyone,

I've just casually had 2x Shadow Destroyer's Contempt R9s (Darkness Power +10%) and I've wanted to have a dual role darkness character for a while now. Problem is I have no idea where to even begin with this. Does anyone have any ideas? The character is heavily star/space themed so any powers that look like they would work even remotely is great and I don't mind which roles this build uses. I'm willing to invest heavily in this so if there are any items/devices or anything else that might help me the advice is greatly appreciated!






Thank you!

Some nice costumes there

Note that those dmg utility mods do not stack, so you don't want to slot two of them in the same gear piece here. I'm unsure if everything is going to look in-theme enough, but you can always test out different powers in the PH and see how you like them (assuming you can also re-color your powers). If you want a basic Darkness dual-passive/role build to at least start with, then here's an example:

Specializations

Mastery: Ego Mastery (1/1)

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

For single-targets, it uses charged SBlast to initially put up Fear and Devoid (charges of SBlast can also stun enemies via its Psychotic Break adv, if you want that), uses DCollapse to refresh Fear and Devoid, and otherwise uses charged ERuin as your main attack. For AoE, SEmbrace is your main attack, though you can also throw in DCollapse. To focus on dps, switch to the Ranged dps role and use Shadow Form as your passive, while you can switch to the Hybrid role and using Invuln as the passive if you want to be more tanky. Gears mostly for Ego, w/ some Rec and Con.
