Need help with a build

blackwolf305

Hey everyone, I seriously need help with a build I'm thinking of doing. However I don't know if it's doable, meaning I don't know if going to play solidly. I want to go for a dual blades, archery darkness build. Or swap the archery with munitions. I don't know it's a concept I'm working on. So you build masters and freeform gurus help me out please:)

Its a dps build, and while it won't be topping the charts it should perform fairly well. Dragon's wrath for single target(dual blades) and Storm of arrows and Torrent(Archery) for Aoe. The darkness powers are mainly utility(lunge, block, and builder). Ebon ruin is thrown in there at the end for more darkness theme but it can easily be replaced for a more useful power, Resurgence, or Unbreakable for more survivability, Mental storm for more dps, or anything you want really.

The Key to mixing powersets like these that don't really support each other well is to give each set a niche in the build. Such as powers from tree x will be for single target, powers from y for aoe, and powers from z for utility.

Yup, pretty much how I'd do it. May change a couple powers around to have more DB or Darkness stuff in there, but the general premise is solid.

Muni variant could have Lead Tempest or SMG Burst and Shotgun Blast w/ breeching adv or Rocket over the Archery AoE moves. Unfortunately, opening up Muni invites the elephant into the room: use TGM or no? Cause TGM can pretty much nullify the need for other single-target powers (here, overriding what DB would bring to the table).
