SW Feats & Powers build

jailbirdey

I was wondering if anyone would like to post there feats and powers build for the SW (what they are using and why?). I will probably be looking to respec in the future and I am not sure if what I am using would be considered the best option for me. I understand a lot depends on the play style of the individual.

Thanks
JB

I found this while researching the class and, although I haven't hit Level 60 yet, at Level 33 with only half of what's there, I'm having a lot of fun with it, doing really decent DPS and have excellent survivability.

For At will Powers I go with Hand of Blight/Eldritch Blast. For Encounter Powers I go with Killing Flames/Fiery Bolt/Dreadtheft. Daily Powers are Tyranical Threat and Brood of Hadar. The goal is to basically build up AP until you are able to use Tyranical Threat. That gives you combat advantage which increases the amount of damage done tremendously for all players. I rarely ever use Brood of Hadar since you always want to be getting the combat advantage buff. With the Murderous Flames Feat, it makes your strongest move Killing Flames a aoe attack. Fiery Bolt is also an AoE attack, and Dreadtheft a very strong AoE attack. If you have a good tank who can hold aggro, you can do massive damage to groups of enemies. As for base stats, put everything in CON and CHR for crit and health. I havnt started looking into enchantments and all that jazz yet but I would look for stuff with high crit and health.

I would do hope stealer over vengful curse, we crit so often that it is always up so its a free 600 lifesteal basically. That and i prefer Gatekeepers empowerment over offering to the prisoner, about the same damage increase but i always use flames of empowerment and no pity, no mercy (excpet for pvp ofc)

If you build to 10% LS you dont need hope stealer, but i dont think either is a bad feat. Just depends on your preference

Personally, with Mod6 changing so much what makes the SW good; I ditched the Hellfire Templock and gone for Soulbinder Furylock.

Not having NPNM and FoE doesn't affect my DPS one bit as the group I run with has a HR that uses their feat/cs that give CA everyone.

Plus, the feat that gives me % dam per spark covers it.

My powers vary:
Single target like Deagon Herald I run DT/SS/WB as SS hits harder than FF even with the MF feat; Dailies IS and BoH (no need for TT as no one to reflect % dam too), CF are Deadly Curse and Barrowed Time.

Dungeons I run KF/DT/WB, as these get my sparks up; dailies TT and IS. CF, Barrowed Time and Dust to Dust.

PVP, WB/HS/KF (WB really gets TRs panicking as its damage when they don't expect it), HS for prone and KF just to pack a punch. Dailies BoH and IS. CF are Warding Curse (tag a TR, stops them 1 shotting you) and Barrowed Time

I'm a new 60 and looking at soulbinder/fury. Any help with this? A link would work great.
