[All] Dark revelry and builds

diloul31

Hello.
I hope this question wasnt already asked...

Can you confirm that dark revelry works on us too ( caster) or only team mates ?
I hardly notice any difference in dps when dark revelry is active, is this feature broken ?

Also when using POP, for my group mates to benefit 50% of bonuses, do they have to stand in the pillar ?

I'm asking that because POP can be a mess for example while fighting the twin scorpions in Elol...
Green POP cover aoe reds mark on the ground and we get OS.

Also i struggle with the choice of build with my 2500GS...
People say, you shouldn't use hellbringer fury before 3k and use sb damnation instead...

I tried both
-with SB damnation i die very easily when i solo activities with lvl73 ennemi but it seems scoul scorch do good dps.
So unless there is a tank and healer in the team, i almost always get the mobs pursuing me and die easily in donjons
- with hellbringer fury, it's like i'm immortal with POP but i lack overall dps compared to hunters

I'd really appreciate your thoughts on what build really give best dps and/or survability.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Fernu say it does, based on the comments on this video:

Team/companions need to stay in PoP area to benefit from the skill.

Me and a lot of people, I think, have the itchy fingers syndrome aka shoot the enemies first time you see them. I had, for this game, to educate myself and let the others start the hostilities while I set the stage and notice possible escape routes. Second, I believe hellbringer is better with a high recovery who let me use PoP all over the place, avoiding the rooting of PoP/Dreadtheft. Third our damage will be nerfed (see mod 10.5 thread) and DPS>Survivability. Without high DPS, I fear not even a good deflection will be enough.
