Dark/Dark Defender: The best of the Defender classes in my opinion, combining a little bit of Emp Def, Bubble Def, the herding ability of a Tanker, the mez ability and pets of a lightweight Controller, and the propensity to damage of a Blaster. Fitness pool a must; Hasten very beneficial in the late game (for the pets); works well with Superspeed as a travel power I'm told but I prefer a 3-dimensional movement power like Flight. Favorite tricks: Darkest Night herding (though this is going to be severely crippled come update 3's 100-yard-range-limit), alternating the two cone attacks (Tenebrous Tentacles & Nightfall) to gnaw away at enemies while they're locked down, and having a Kinetic Fulcrum Shift me into the stratosphere before dropping the Blackstar nuke attack. I also like soloing with three pets out; between them they can lock down bosses several levels higher than me, and even archvillains, and they spam heals so often that I'm almost healthier than if I were duoing with an Emp Def.My two most commonly-played characters are an Emp/Electric/Flight/Teleport Defender and a Dark/Dark/Flight Defender, and I'm starting to play around some with Defenders of other types. I've had a Blaster or two, a Scrapper or two, and a Tanker or two; enjoyed the Blasters and Scrappers the most, and about the only thing I couldn't get into was Controllers, but it could be I just haven't tried the right ones yet.
