    It helps tremendously, thank you.

Truth be told, slotting this power caused me more grief than anything so far. My old slotting of six recharge is obviously useless, heh. He does so much, and it seems I have so little to give back

    Your advice is duly noted here.

    Yup, I'm now prepared to drop it for Temp Invul. I have bids down for two of the -KB IOs already. This is exactly the kind of help I needed

    No, honestly at this point I was running out of places to put the slots but I can fit them into TI.

    Actually, I can I have another Endo I was saving for my Ill/Kin but I think I can find another before that toon ever gets enough levels to use it.

    Thanks And yeah, I realize that I have a TON of catching up to do.

    I know about ED. I don't think I seriously overdid anything, did I? What's happening here is me looking at Mids and whenever an attribute gets close to (or into) the red, I stop buffing it. I think the most waste I have is where I put 3 lvl50 IOs into a single attribute, for example the recharge in Tar Patch (99.08% vs. pre-ED 127.2%). I'm certainly open to suggestion as to where I could place those slots more effectively

    Now this, I really don't know much about, I'm afraid. Did I overslot -ToHit?

    Greetings, fellow defenders. I have reactivated after a four-year absence, and need your advice as to how I should rebuild my seriously out-dated D3.

    Back in my heyday, HOs were dropping like rain (at least one a day for several months), so I have enough between my 50s to put together the build below...Question is, should I? The alternative is to put the HOs on the market and use the income to acquire some IO sets. Some pros and cons for the HO build:

    Pros:

    -- I can make this build NOW. I have enough inf stashed away that picking up the common IOs I need to pad it out will be cake. Getting the IO sets that I want will take forever at auction.

    -- Two nucleolus, for example, will provide a larger buff than 1 dam & 1 acc IO (66% to each vs. 42.4% to each) using the same number of slots.

    Cons:

    -- Missing out on a ton of set bonuses. Particularly recharge, which I want for stacking Tar Patch, among other things.

    Note that this toon was an AV-killer that relied a lot on HT for the -regen and stacked PG to keep them in place. Blackstar is just there for fun

    So, friends, what would YOU do in my position? Here's the HO build I came up with (slot levels are arbitrary):
