I lost my notes on the original build which was about a year before the Darkness pass. She's a Darkness/muni dps build. As far as muni powers at the minimum, I would like Shotgun Blast - Mind the Uniform, Bullet Hail - Boogeyman, Submachinegun Burst - Boogeyman, and if it can be fit in, Lead Tempest - Tread Softly

I don't have any of the powers that need to be unlocked like Shadow Eruption, and uncertain if I want to bother with Endbringer's Grasp

flowcyto · December 2019

I wouldn't generally pair Bullet Hail w/ Lead Tempest, since they both are spam-able AoEs. There is some synergy w/ Fear and Bullet Hail's adv, though, so that's fine to keep in.

I mostly threw in Darkness powers for some extra healing and utility options, but the main attacks are still Muni here. Shotgun can put up Fear and the AP debuff, while Bullet Hail is the main AoE, and TGM is the main single-target attack. You could add different Darkness powers, if you want, though I'd try to avoid them having too much overlap w/ the Muni powers. Gears mostly for Ego, w/ some Con and Rec.

xkagearashix · December 2019

she's more of a darkness with some muni or is 3 muni powers to much? if it is, then drop down to just bullet hail & submachine gun burst

flowcyto · December 2019

It's easier to work around Muni powers being the core here, but I suppose you can rely on Dimensional Collapse (or Soul Vortex) w/ advs to roll SReverb for energy when using any Muni stuff. Also, SMG and Bullet Hail are effectively the same power w/ different visuals, so I wouldn't put them in the same build. We can keep one of Bullet Hail or SMG and keep Shotgun, though, if you want:

Alternates between SBlast and ERuin for single-target dps. DCollapse can be used in AoE to roll SReverb while you use Shotgun and Bullet Hail (or SMG) for AoE dps.

thnx, but have some questions as I'm not very familiar with darkness...
how's Shadow Manifestation?
while on this thread, just a couple more questions from previous threads to sort of condense..
you said 3-slot PA was top ranged dps, what rounds out the top 5?
as far as Ultimates, if you could choose to unlock only 1 between; Storm Strike, Meteor Blaze, or Ego Blade Pandemonium, which would you choose?

flowcyto · December 2019

Shadow Manifest is fine for a ranged dps toggle, as it can also boost bonus healing via its scaling w/ Pres. That said, Pres is also not an ideal stat for dps, and you have to use Mental States to proc the toggle/form. Mental Precision (in TK) is basically the more dps-oriented version of it- scaling w/ Dex instead, but procing off of the same things.

I don't know for the top 5 ranged, as I don't play at the high-end, but the sets that would prob be up there are 3-slot PA, Electricity, Ranged TK, and Fire (w/ Hydra). FC builds for Force could also be strong, but its harder to work around them, and FC is balanced around being an AoE. That said- Darkness, Infernal, Sorc, Muni, and Ice can still be pretty solid ranged dps as well (and most have long-ranged options too).

And of those Ults, I'd prob pick EB Pandemonium.

xkagearashix · December 2019

if thats the case, can u help in updating my tk blades/ranged tk putting EB Pandemonium in the mix?
oh and as far as the empty powers on the dark/muni.. my travels are flight R2 & Teleport Teleport might change, my 35 i went with CoEW, and my 38 I'm thinking Rebirth, but that might change, right now she's still only lvl 21

flowcyto · December 2019

I may pass on CoEW, since its immobile, has to be cast, gives you a healing penalty, and has a dmg bonus that's affected by DR.

If you want my help w/ TK, then you'll have to specify if you mean melee and ranged TK in two separate builds or not (it's more optimal if they're two separate builds, ofc, but you can also combine them). TK is pretty straightforward, either way.

xkagearashix · December 2019

she's mostly tk blades with some ranged tk

flowcyto · December 2019

Yea, it'd generally be better to focus on one or the other if your aim is higher dps, though ofc you can have other goals or reasons for doing otherwise. I guess I'll give you a template for both, and you can choose if you want to mix them.
