Here are some general percentages you can reach with only uncommon (and maybe one rare) recipies at the market. You can probably reach better results than I did with rares here and there, but I wanted this to be a completely realistic build that anyone could use.

At this point, you have good attack power, the extremely useful Tar Patch and the all-powerful Darkest Night. Though I don't keep Super Speed in my final build, I have it at low levels because the Stealth procs for Sprint are too expensive at this level. With Super Speed and Shadow Fall, you'll have full invisibility so you can do the awesome Sneak and TP combo (for faster mission and TF completion).

There's very little point to worrying about IO set bonuses this early into the build. Just focus on raw numbers and deal with bonuses later.

Play tips

  • You will run out of endurance quite quickly so remember to turn off Super Speed before battles and only use Shadow Fall when sneaking or fighting things that use Energy, Negative Energy, or Psionics.
  • Because you're attacks are quite weak, use Tar Patch a lot. It makes your attacks far more powerful and slows enemies too.
  • Always use Darkest Night on bosses or large groups of enemies to lower their accuracy and damage. Don't forget that if you lay a Tar Patch then use Darkest Night to pull the enemies, they'll bunch up on the patch which means they'll all be debuffed.
