I'm trying to assemble a decent endgame content DPS build, with a ninja theme. So far, I have this:

Night Warrior vs. Way of the Warrior: I feel NW would fit more my ninja theme, but WotW looks better overall (DPS + survivability).
If there's something else I can improve, like choosing other SS/passive/powers, please give me a feedback.
Thanks in advance

Constitution is not needed for survivability? Any tips on how to play this build on solo content/alerts?
With Shredded debuff, my Dragon Wrath critted between 8.5k - 10.2k, with a spike of 12k.
That's expected given my current gear, or am I still underperforming?
Also: 6.2k HP is enough for eventual solo content/alerts?
For Merc gear and r5s (pretty low bar), ur doing okay. Crit severity is a bit lower than I'd expect for Brutality + severity specs; maybe due to the lack of a severity rating bonus on gear? That much Dex should put you pretty high into crit%'s DR, such that trading crit rating for one severity rating bonus could work.

Pretty good build of Shadow, I would probably go for Dex Con Rec with blade tempest to r3 instead of crashing creshendo, Resurgence would not be needed and could be replaced by a threat wipe, or with Reaper's Embrace to get an extra burst of dmg.
With shadow's build, just cleared all training room enemies types (Hard Opponents, Team Size: 5), 0 deaths. I'm not sure if that's a decent parameter, so just let me know if there's a better test to do.
Eye of the Storm is a great power, it was the main tool that kept me alive while aggroing those waves when my active defenses were off.
And I will always be @DZPlayer122.

The reason to not take a threat wipe now is because they're using mercs and r5s. But once they get better gear and decide to go for max dps on a NW build they'll absolutely want one. No they don't. The shield is part of the base power.
