Against all Odds at 49?!? Gah, that's your Taunt aura, not to mention it gives you a damage bonus. Taking that, and Deflection before level 20 is way more important than taking Kick and Tough that early. If you respec, I'd definitely change that.

As for the rest:

Jab: unless you're absolutely not going to use it, slot it with commons, if nothing else. (Though five slotting Crushing Impact would be a good choice for an IO set.)

Battle Agility: Why not just 4 slot with Serendipity? It has decent 3 and 4 slot bonuses, and the commons are doing nothing for you.

True Grit: Shield Defense does NOT need additional KB protection; that IO is wasted influence and a wasted slot. I'd go with 3xHeal commons and the Steadfast plus 2xResist commons.

Phalanx Fighting: The addtional defense slotting will only help you if you have a teammate with range. I'd drop the resist common at least. I also don't know why you'd slot a End/Rchg in a passive, if you're set on the 3 slot LotG bonus at least get some additional defense out of it.

Tough: Personally, I think the psi resist IOs are a waste of influence. I'd drop the Imperv armor psi resist and swap out the Aegis End/Rchg for the Res/End/Rchg so at least you'll hit the ED cut-off.

Deflection: You don't need the 1.25% AoE bonus, so I'd drop the Serendipity Endurance and the Imperv Psi Resist IO and replace them with 2 resist commons, which will significantly boost your S/L resistance.

Shield Charge: Instead of commons, try frankenslotting it with Multi Strike and Scirocco's to get everything, especially recharge, enhanced as much as possible.

Weave: See comments on Deflection, except you can use the last two slots elsewhere.

OwtS: I think it's overslotted, but if you have extra slots, have at it.

Fly: You're a little low in Ranged defense, so I'd recommend replacing the two non-stealth IOs with 2 Blessing of the Zephyr--not the -KB IO.

Focused Accuracy: A full set of Gaussian's gives a very nice 2.5 defense bonus to all positions. However, I think having both Rage and FA is unnecessary, so I'd recommend dropping FA, moving the Gaussian's set to Rage, and picking up Grant Cover instead. Besides defense for your allies, Grant Cover also provides defense debuff resistance to the player, and is definitely worth getting for that reason.

You definitely need Grant Cover if you want additional defense debuff resistance, and I agree with Heraclea that there's no reason to delay Active Defense so late in your build. I also think you're way too light on quick recharging ST attacks; are you planning to annoy your foes with an-unslotted-for-damage Barrage while waiting for your big guns to recharge? Boy, that sounds like fun!

If getting more defense debuff resistance is a priority, I think you should consider dropping the Energy epic pool for Grant Cover and Bone Smasher or Energy Punch. If you slot with an eye to +recovery, +end and sufficient endurance reduction you won't need Physical Perfection to keep your end bar filled.

In general, your slotting is okay, though I find the Hami-O in BA and the Force Feedback proc in an otherwise unslotted Kick to be rather strange choices. Also, I think any attack you're going to use on a regular basis should be slotted as well, an *attack*. If you really want to have those Absolute Amazement set bonuses, take Boxing instead and use it as a set mule.

Combat Jumping is overslotted and most of your toggles are underslotted for end reduction; Health and Stamina are also underslotted. Are you relying on Physical Perfection to make up for that? If so, just keep in mind you'll need to revisit that slotting if you end up skipping PP.

The number of slots looks like a good start, though UY has two too many, and I would plan to put at least three slots in Barrage. Also keep in mind that you may end up moving some slots for IOs; for instance, with IOs sets you can often 5 slot instead of 6 slot attacks, and there are some nice 4-6 slot bonuses in Taunt sets that might want to go for.

Regarding the power order, I know this is a respec, but I always recommend that players take the powers in the order they would leveling; that way, if you ever respec you'll have the key powers for that level. In particular, you definitely want Stamina before level 28 and the resist passives can easily be delayed until the 20s or 30s. (And remember, you have to take Air Sup before Fly) With that in mind, here's the sort of order I would recommend:

Yowza, you must have very big...pockets.

I'll just assume that you know how much all those purples will cost and it's no problem. If you haven't priced purples lately, you'd better do so ASAP.

As for the two PvP IOs, I think both of those are currently going for 2 billion apiece, and there's a long line of people ahead of you with bids up and waiting for the few that come on the market. So unless you have those in hand or have a way to get them, don't count on getting them.

However, the Steadfast Protection +Def is readily available on the market, and for a heck of a lot less than 2 billion. Be sure to pick one up.

Other than that:

Weave is way overslotted; it doesn't need more than 4 slots. The Kinetic Combat sets are underslotted for Accuracy and Damage; add a Acc/Dam or Acc/Dam/Rchg from another set. Quick Recovery and RttC are both overslotted, HPT can also be slotted for resistance, so add a couple of common resistance IOs.

WP doesn't need additional KB protection, and that BotZ -KB is giving you a very small return on your influence. I'd drop it. The Hami-O in Tough is completely unnecessary; use it elsewhere, sell it, whatever you prefer.

EDIT: Just an FYI, by skipping NS, TE and OTC, you've eliminated 3 of the 4 possible combo attacks. if that's what you want, fine, but I'd certainly want to take TE and OTC on an dual blades character.

You seem to be working toward defense bonuses, but some of the sets you're using the most (Mako's Bite, Obliteration) give primarily positional defense bonuses, not typed. That's a lot of slots for relatively little gain; you'd get better typed defense numbers if you used Kinetic Combat for your ST attacks and Eradication for the PBAoEs.

Also, Hover is way overslotted for the amount of defense it provides; RttC and QR are both underslotted.

You have more F/C def than any other type, but S/L and E/NE are far more common and should be a higher priority. Since WP doesn't need additional KB protection, I think the -KB BotZ in Fly is influence better spent on something else. (More KC sets, for instance.)

That Hami-O in Boxing is *really* influence better spent on something else. Unless you're planning on using it regularly, which seems unlikely since you're taking it so late, leave it unslotted or stick a common in there and save the Hami-O for something else.

Hmm, definitely needs work. First of all, what is the goal of this build? The most common way to slot Invul tanks is currently for defense bonuses, followed by recovery, HP, recharge, etc. You have a couple of sets that give defense bonuses, but they're primarily positional bonuses, (Titanium Coating, Mako's Bite) not the typed defense bonuses that stack with Invinc and TH. Even if you're not planning to take the Fighting Pool and hit the defense soft-cap of 45%, increasing your defense to 30-35% with one foe in range of Invinc will greatly increase your survivabilty.

From the top:

RPD is no longer a "don't bother" passive. Some time ago the base resistance value on all the passives was increased slightly, and all were given secondary effects. RPD now gives defense debuff resistance, as does Tough Hide, so definitely pick it up. You an easily wait until the 20s or even 30s, but do get it. ResEn is also desirable, since it gives end drain resistance, so pick it up if you can. ResEl is the least useful of three resist passives, so if you're going to skip one, that's the one to skip.

In general, resistance and defense toggles should be 4-slotted. If you're using IO sets, avoid the End/Rchg and Endurance IOs and stick to those that give resistance or defense. Other than that, pick by bonus and what you can afford. I will say that Reactive Armor is by far the best choice for TI and UY, if you're looking for defense bonuses, since it gives bonuses for S/L and E/NE defense. (Gaining defense to those four damage types should be your priority, since they're by far the most common.) I like Gift of the Ancients and Luck of the Gambler for defense powers, but LotG is quite expensive, so pick what you can afford.

Doctored Wounds is a good set for Dull Pain, but it's currently underslotted for recharge and needs another slot. The End/Rchg would do nicely.

You have Fly slotted at 12 and Air Sup at 14 which is not possible unless you're a 60 month vet. (Mid's lets you do it, but you can't do it in-game.) You'll have to reverse the order of those two.

Stamina is way overslotted; it doesn't need 4 slots unless you're planning to use IOs. If you're sticking with commons, move one of those slots to Health.

With Air Sup and all the EM attacks but Stun IMO you've got more attacks than you need. I would drop Energy Punch or Bone Smasher unless you switch to another travel pool.

Your attack slotting is all over the place. Frankenslotting is fine, but there doesn't seem to be any reason for some of yours. For instance, both Kinetic Combat and Smashing Haymaker will give you a S/L def bonus if you use 4 in the set, but you've stopped short of doing that. And FYI, that Kinetic Combat Dam/End/Rchg is worth a ton of influence now. I'd get the other pieces in the set and use it, but if you decide not to, be sure to take it out when you respec to sell it.

In general, if you decide to go the defense route, look for sets like KC and SH that give primarily typed defense bonuses. Eradication would be a good choice for Whirling Hands because it gives a nice E/NE def bonus for just three IOs. Other than defense bonuses, sets like Crushing Impact are always helpful for the acc and recharge bonuses; as are sets that add recovery, regen, HP, etc.

I'm not a big fan of Focused Accuracy; its end cost is huge, and nowdays you can get both +percep and +tohit from IOs.

Hope that helps!

First of all, you're taking some of your key WP powers way too late--there's absolutely no need to take Stamina immediately after QR, and the Fighting Pool can certainly be delayed so you can take RttC and Heightened Senses as soon as they become available. Mind Over Body can be delayed a little, but I'd certainly take it in the late teens, early 20s at the latest.

I agree with Twilight, many of your powers are underslotted; you could probably get a a couple of additional percent of defense from fully slotting Weave and Heightened Senses, as much as some of the bonuses you're slotting for! Both powers need another slot, if not two--you want to get as near to 56% defense enhancement as possible.

WP does *not* need a -KB IO, that's just a needless expense. Since presumably you want S/L defense, why not use Reactive Armor in Tough and MoB instead of Aegis, which will get you a E/NE defense bonus as well. (F/L def is fine, and I'd stay with the Aegis in HPT, but F/C damage is much rarer than S/L/E/NE so it should be a lower priority.)

Fully slotting HS and Weave, and using RA in MoB and Tough will give you enough cushion in S/L defense that you can drop the Oblit set in Thunder Strike. Instead, I'd recommend slotting 3 Eradication for the E/NE def bonus and 2 Multi Strike or Scirocco's Dervish.

And in your Kinetic Combat sets, try an Acc/Dam or Acc/Dam/Rchg from another set instead of an accuracy common. That way, you'll be fully slotted for damage.

Lastly, I don't know how attached you are to the patron pool powers, but if you're taking them because you can slot them for S/L defense bonuses, there are better options available. Both Taunt and Build Up can be slotted for defense bonuses, and in the case of Taunt, significantly larger ones.

Ishaila, evidently you're determined to keep all those Eradication sets and that's your call, even though I honestly think it's a bad one. But fair warning, 6-slotting Icicles with Eradication is a flat-out terrible choice. Sure, EA will help you with endurance recovery, but not enough to offset two attacks and a .52 EPS damage toggle with just 15% end reduction.

Tonality, no Steadfast +Def? I'd think that would be a priority!

'Course, I haven't checked the redside market lately, have they gone up a lot in price?

EDIT: D'oh! Didn't see it there in ResEn. Never mind.

Is this what you have now, or what you've proposed? (I certainly hope it's the latter!)

As I mentioned in my earlier post, overslotting end reduction in your toggles is *not* the answer! The Invul/Pool powers in this build are ridiculously overslotted for end reduction, to the extent that they're barely slotted at all for resistance and defense.

Endurance reduction, recovery, etc. is important, but you do not need to sacrifice all your other build requirements for it.

I reworked your build below. By simply fully slotting your other defense powers and making some other small changes, I was able to eliminate the need for Maneuvers altogether. Please note that the recovery and end drain are only slightly worse than yours, but everything is much more fully slotted. It's a little over the soft-cap for S/L, so you could even save some infamy and downgrade one of the Kinetic Combat sets to Smashing Haymaker. (Note that I threw Hasten in to replace Maneuvers, but you could take one of the Invul powers you skipped, Combat Jumping, or anything else you'd like.)
