Superior Invis is an Endurance Hog, so unless you are not going to use it, it needs to be slotted for EndRdx. And I have an easy solution -- move 5 slots from Ling Rad (where you are getting 3.something% Recharge) and slot 5 Red Fortune in Superior Invis for 5% Recharge. Together with the LotG Recharge, that's 12.5% recharge in that power.

Ling Rad works fine with a single Accuracy as long as you have some global accuracy and plenty of global recharge. Plus, the Spiritual tree has Slow, so you don't need to enhance the Slow.

I would get another slot into Blind, for an Acc/Dam Hami-O. Blind is used so often that the damage adds up. You could take one from Spectral Terror or the Travel from Recall Friend (but lose a little ranged defense). I would also put another slot for EndMod in Stamina -- you may have endurance issues.

In Scorpion Shield, you could trade the second -Knockback for a Luck of the Gambler Defense. That second -Knockback has only a few times when it really helps. If you replace the Acc/Dam/Rech with a pure Dam/Rech, you'll cap Damage and Rech.

Do you want Blood Mandate in the Tarantula? Don't you want Recharge? I don't know since I have never had it.

However, I do know that the position of all of your toolbars and windows are stored server side. The low-end machine is on a much smaller monitor than the high-end machine and I have to move all the toolbars/windows around each time I swap between machines.

(With the Spiritual tier 3 boost, my current Recharge is 216%, but I don't have all those purple sets in my build.)

Several people have expressed an interest in getting the Mace PPP for the extra pet. However, you are giving up that fast-recharging single target blast that makes the Blind-SW-Blast-SW attack chain so effective.

Comparing Fire APP to Mace PPP, Mace has Poisonous Ray, a single target blast with some -Resistance, but the recharge is 24 seconds compared to 8 for Fire Blast -- even with all the global recharge in this build, you still can't get a nice attack chain. Fireball is a great AoE, so those are pretty much equal. The Mace Shield is Defense rather than resistance, which is generally better . . . but if that is a significant factor, you can get a defense-based shield in the Ice APP AND a fast single-target blast. Fire offers Rise of the Phoenix, which is a pretty fun power to have but you hope you don't have to use it, while Mace has the extra pet.

If your playstyle is to be more of a pet wrangler and less of a blaster, then I can certainly see going with Mace. But I rely too much on my fast Attack Chain, and changing to Mace would reduce my overall damage.
