Would like some critisism for my new build

[JayEmmKay]

Im think on going this build: http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#200McrkkrckfZ0zZfbcoM.1

I will keep having dark charge on to get some defence, but i will run full DD gear. How will this work out? As for right now im full darkness with tank gear, but im going jugg tank now so i will go DD. Is it worth getting Harnessed darkness when i dont get wither?

Im just a bit confused by your build.. its not bad but i think you have to many eggs in to many baskets... you kind of need to decide what you want to go.. if you want to be tanky then go the full darkness.. if u like the hybrid then i suggest that you respec so that you do a lot more damage.. with the upcoming changes there will not be much point having dark charge on unless you are full tank..so i would suggest changing your build so that you pump out a lot more damage and still have a little tankiness.. this build is what i mean.

 

Pretty amazing damage constanly casting dots with a high amount of force regen and damage out put.

This build has some outstanding utility possibly the best in the game in terms of black out force regen etc..

but very much lacking dps I would run this build with a shield generator.

This build is amazing in terms of flat out dps.. but seriously lacking utility this is by far my favourite build because of its DPS output and when u get thos amaazinf whirlwinds that hit three players.. no one expects that..

I hope this helps you out in some way there are many other builds that are viable.. and my suggestion is that you decide what you want to build. what you enjoy and go with that..

That is a good build for DPS and such, but just an FYI Whirlwind can't hit three people at the same time. That trait on there states: "In addition, your Whirlwind affects up to 2 additional standard or weak enemies within 8 meters of the target."

 

Player Characters are not considered Standard or Weak enemies, they are not classified in any of those. If that was the case, then you would see Sorcs lifting up three people all the time, because sorcs have the same talent as well.

You want him to switch between dark charge and lightning charge?

 

That concept doesn't work very well I've tested it.

 

harnessed darkness is not worth it unless you go with wither, so either spec out of it and go further down the madness tree for haunted dreams, instant cc.

 

Do not go for death mark, since it's periodic dmg. Does not work with dark charge.

 

 

here Are 2 viable builds i have tested.

 

build 1 is my perfect pvp build.

here is build 2

 

http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#200rsrozrskZZf0cRrM.1

 

 

i prefer build 1, but the concept of build 2 works.

 

 

without wither in your build harnessed darkness won't proc enough for it to be worthwhile.

 

So it's better not to have it.

[JayEmmKay]

I dont really want to go full madness, i will just play a sorc if i want that. Also those build didnt have dark ward? I mean its not necessary but its really nice if you got dark charge on.

Pretty close to what ill run for Ranked, I dont currently use a Generator though I may try that out tomorrow.

See how it works with the nerfs, but tank stance will still be the must if you want to run the ball or keep a node long enough to let your team swing. Unless youre gonna DPS all the time I think its better to use the point for Surging Charge somewhere else.

[Keeroe]

But to reply on your build here is one that I find to be very effective: http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#200rcrozrszZhZf0cRr.1

 

You are left with one point that can be used in various places depending on your playstyle and the gear you have.

 

If you have a shield generator, put it into Dark Ward.

 

If you want to reduce some of the damage from those DoTs that many people in PvP do, put the point into Corrupted flesh.

 

Or if you want to do a bit more damage to targets affected by spike or electrocute put it into Nerve Wracking.

 

The choice is yours for the most part, so up to you on how you want to do it.

 

this build also take away the need for changing stances, stay in Dark charge and you are good to go.

That build is fine, I used it for a couple months before I switched to my current one. Basically it relies on energized shocks for HD stacks and does it very well while pumping up some serious damage. I think the highest damage i hit with that build was upwards of 600k with 110k healing and 100k protection. Even without wither I was casting 3x FL at least once every 15-20 seconds. That said though, come 1.3 the best specs are going to be 23/1/17 in dark charge obviously for mobility, tankiness, and utility and 0/13/28 in surging charge for burst dps with no setup (this is the one I'm using, Shinarika invented it, works amazingly well). I don't mind the nerfs for pvp tankasins (don't even get me started on pve though...) since it forces us out of that "WITHER SHOCK SABER STRIKE WITHER FORCE LIGHTNING DERP" mode that requires very little skill to play decently.

These Builds are not very viable. for starters u have gone a standard 31/2/8 build but u have not at all made it effective in both builds u have 2 points in hollow but absolutely no points in Dark ward it just not make sense. if ur not using a shield generator then dont put points in hollow or lightning reflexes.. its just plain stupid.. if you are using a shield generator then DARK WARD IS A MUST.. it should be the first priority!! because shield chance increases by 20%.. .... and lastly having abilites the generate threat in PVP? dude please stop offering people bad advice with your builds.. and dont critique people that actually know what they are talking about.

The more i look at these the more i am dumbfounded.... everyone please ignore these... you should amost never be using maul in darkness spec so having to points is silly..and having points in edurance stack is all so silly for PVP.. if ur going darkness then put those extra points in nerve wrackling and to allow ur spikes and stuns on healers to increase the damage... my abilities are very viable.. if u want i can put up a full darkness spec build for PVP. but if u do that you need to use a shield generator.

[Ch_Zero]

what you don't understand is 90% of the time stun is removed , so i prefer the raw endurance.

 

secondly i made maul viable in my rotation by adding those two talents which reduces force cost by 50%

 

I've tested this spec a thousand times, it's very reliable and the best dps.

 

much higher than the cookie cutter build

you make no sense you have not addressed the complaints i made about your build at all.. so u have reduced force on your maul... does not matter you now have less force for shoc or whither and hence have 1 less stack of HD hence less damage and less health regen.. = learn to know what your talking about "again ignore this person"
