I say Darkness/Ego Blade variants because one version won't cut it here, probably need at least five. #1 is the build I'll probably retcon my current toon to, once she hits 40 (Delicious Demon - reference to an 80s song) Brainscrambler Pistol build Here is the original inspiration, by Vegetable Knife aka Rose: link The first post includes a video. Unfortunately, while the Brainscrambler Pistols work really well with Lead Tempest, it looks terribad due to a display bug that has gone unfixed for quite some time. I've decided to live with it, since I found lvl 38 blue pistols cheap in the AH. This build is missing all sorts of key powers - e.g. killer instinct, evasive maneuvers, bountiful chi resurgence. But what can I do? I want to kill, so sacrifices must be made. The most likely power to remove would possibly be 2-gun, which would mean switching to the TK blades EB.

Trying out a defensive version with a toon now
DEX/CON Invuln Form of the Tempest Retaliation Mighty Leap (Might base so I could fit as many powers as possible in) TK Eruption+adv Collective Will+adv SMG (because I have a level 40 Ghostbuster SMG power replacer - it does Ego damage) Ego Blade Breach Lock and Load (goes with the SMG, but crit % buff and power cost reduction are great) Ego Surge+adv (crit chance goes up to 50% with this) Masterful Dodge, Unbreakable Nanobot Swarm +adv(lets me keep an active offense, active defense up for 30s straight)
The only heal is from Nanobot Swarm, but the build has high HP, flat damage reduction, high mitigation (TK Eruption boosts this), a block enhancer and two active defenses.
The offense is pretty large for an Invuln build - there are multiple buffs (MA Form, active offenses, TK Eruption, Retaliation) and debuffs (Collective Will, Ego Blade Breach).
Energy is an issue. I had to dedicate enough REC to frequently fire TK Eruption and occasionally Collective Will. DEX/INT may be a better stat combo, but CON works well with Protector Role and the adv to Ego Surge.
The SMG is probably a negative on the build in a lot of situations (stat boosts aren't nearly as good as a brainscrambler pistol), but it's fun to use and pretty energy-efficient.
I tried an AoPM version but got torn apart in PvP. This one effortlessly wipes 5-man hard in the PH, but most Invuln builds with an AoE and a block enhancer should do that.

Since the TK update was mostly delayed, I switched my Psi-Gunner to Shadow Form and went pure ranged. Sniper Rifle is just there because level 38-40 Energy Sniper Rifles are common now, thanks to Resistance. Fully buffed, my Sniper Rifle crits for over 10k, 2-gun crits for over 1k, and Lead Tempest almost crits at 1K. It's fun in PvP, and I can't imagine any build farmer faster, since with Lead Tempest I don't even have to target.

This is VERY similar to something I've been running with. Uncanny, even. I have a new subscription, so seeing this here from someone else makes me feel less stupid/newb.
