LF Darkness Build

Would like a darkness build that can solo effectively, without dieing too much and still bring something solid to group play, if possible.
Was looking at the Darkness dps/healer in the healer thread but not sure if that’s viable from level 1 - 40 or if you have to retcon at 40 into those builds.
Anyway, any help is appreciated

    Can always just make a hybrid dps using Invuln as the passive, if you want to be sturdy easily:

    (Unnamed Build) - Freeform
    v2.4.2-29

    Super Stats
    Level 6: Ego (Primary)

    Level 15: Dexterity (Secondary)

    Talents
    Level 1: The Void (Dex: 8, Con: 10, Ego: 10, End: 10)
    Level 6: Ascetic (Con: 5, Ego: 5)
    Level 9: Acrobat (Dex: 5, Con: 5)
    Level 12: Shooter (Dex: 5, Ego: 5)
    Level 15: Quick Recovery (Con: 5, Rec: 5)
    Level 18: Worldly (Ego: 5, Rec: 5)
    Level 21: Impresario (Dex: 5, Rec: 5)

    Powers
    Level 1: Shadow Bolt (advantages)
    Level 1: Shadow Blast (Rank 2, Psychotic Break)
    Level 6: Spirit Reverberation
    Level 8: Invulnerability (Rank 2, Rank 3)

    Travel Powers
    Level 6:
    Level 35:

    Specializations
    Ego: Force of Will (2/2)
    Ego: Insight (3/3)
    Ego: Follow Through (3/3)
    Ego: Sixth Sense (2/3)
    Guardian: Fortified Gear (3/3)
    Guardian: Ruthless (2/2)
    Guardian: Find the Mark (2/3)
    Guardian: The Best Defense (3/3)
    Vindicator: Aggressive Stance (2/2)
    Vindicator: Merciless (3/3)
    Vindicator: Focused Strikes (3/3)
    Vindicator: Mass Destruction (2/3)
    Mastery: Ego Mastery (1/1)

    Some other Darkness powers can be good for various utility- like Grasping Shadow's AoE heal adv on hold, or Summon Shadows for more dps and maybe its self-heal adv, or Shadow Eruption (if you have it)- but what you got here should still be good. This build allows you to heal allies a bit w/ Lifedrain, if you want. The main single target attack is ERuin, w/ Shadow Blast putting up Devoid to boost its dmg. SBlast and Soul Vortex can also apply/refresh Fear. SEmbrace can be your main AoE (or maybe take Shade Storm if you have it). Gears mostly for Ego and Con.
