    My ss/ele brute sucked donky balls against certain mobs (romans in particular) until I adopted that strat in it's build.

    It's not sexy, but it definitely works to an advantage with that set.
    Sap early, sap often, stay alive.

    You can get the same 5% rech by six slotting EAdaptors in Consume, as apposed to the five Oblits in a power you hopefully wont have to use that often, plus you add a little extra aoe damage (plus about a one second aoe animation hold while casting consume). Not to mention the +end doesn't hurt.

    Well the bottom line is you're not going to get there without spending, but you also don't necessarily have to have perma PA to reach your goal with an ill/rad (Spectral Terror can tank a little too).

    Your build is pretty solid, but if +rech is what you're aiming for, I'd consider adding more options for slotting lotg 7.5 (granted those aren't cheap, but neither is a set of 5-6 of something that grants it's +rech equivalent) like Weave and Maneuvers, which for your build would require dumping Fly and RFriend, you already have Leaping /SJ/ and depending on how long you've played the Vet group tp will do, especially since solo'ing is your intent.

    Also in my experience Flash is crappy, the rech is much too long plus STerror is nearly as effective, is up frequently so multiple spawns are possible, and you can slot the psy damg proc in it, which you already did.

    HO's also are no longer all that, some long gone devs saw to that years ago.

    GI does indeed make SI overkill, I use the former on my ill/storm all the time, it covers you and the team and it's another good place to slot a lotg 7.5.

    A few tips, hope it helps, have an ill (npi) wife to tend to, so have fun! :]

    -If none of that helps, be more specific about looking for a thrifty build if you go back to the troller boards for further advice.

    I'll second that.

    A tremendous oversight in that category, though not unexpected given the unpleasant light it shown on some teachers unions, thus making it faintly conservative.
    Heaven forbid anything remotely conservative makes it to the Oscars.
