Invul works best with all of the t1-t8. I'd also take unstoppable on a scrapper, but consider it optional on a Tanker. I personally skipped unstoppable on my fav Invul tank and have never regretted it.

But I would not skip Resist Energies or Resist Elements. I would delay taking them until fairly late in the build, though.

There has to be a slot or 2 you can steal from somewhere else.

But, if there really isn't...

I'd have to see the rest of your build to be sure, but I think I'd do the Jav Volley quad and the Dam/Recharge, and then Enhance Boost them as far as you can.

Note: I'm not sure now that I say that if you actually can enhance boost PVPIOs. If not, I'd prolly use those two anyway, but obviously it'd be better if you could.

Wow! You actually have an incarnate Petless mastermind?!? And it's effective?! My hat's off to you, sir.

Chiming in to second what a lot of others have already said.

1) The lockdown proc is very worth it in Distortion.
2) I don't find the damage procs all that worth it in Distortion or Juncture, but a friend of mine did use them and it doesn't seem to have adversely affected his performance, so I'd say that it just comes down to taste.
3) Time Defs *are* tankers.
4) I also like working in as many Chance for -Recharges into a Time build as I can. It's the only way to enhance this aspect of the powers, and I feel it pushes a strength of Time a bit further.
5) Power Build Up or Power Boost are great in Time.

Well, enough echoing what others have said, on to some specifics of your build.

First of all, it is very solid, so take everything below as just minor nit-picks.

1) I don't particularly like World of Confusion. Not in general, and specifically not on this alt. Confuse enemies that can barely move from being slowed and can't hit from tohit debuffs are no different from non confused enemies in the same situation. All that happens at best is infrequent attacks that likely miss you get turned into infrequent attacks that miss other enemies. And for this very minor help you're paying a steep end cost. And it does paltry damage. If you want it for thematic reasons, I'd not slot it for damage, if it were me. Double nothing is still nothing. Oblits are expensive to get so little out of it.
2) I'm not sure I like Kin Combat in Boxing. I'm not 100% positive, but I think using those three slots elsewhere might very well be able to recoup the the defense lost.
3) You can lose a slot in Hasten, and use Enhancement Boosters on the other 2 Recharge IOs and get almost the exact same result. That saves you a slot t put elsewhere.
4) Slowed Response, I'm fairly certain, requires a hit to have an effect. And you have no Acc slotted in it. You only seem to have 27% global accuracy bonus and Farsight's base +12% to hit. This might be enough vs most baddies most of the time, but if you fight baddies above your level and or vs the tough guys (which are the ones you'll probably most want to debuff) you may have a hard time hitting. I'd see if I could get some Acc in there. I'd also see if I could get in the Achillies' Heel proc in there, too.
5) Not sure why you would wait till the very last slot for Temporal Selection, but I guess something has to be last.
6) I'd be very tempted to lose the Dam/End in Psychic Scream for the Damage Proc. You would lose some End reduction, but no appreciable base damage, as it's way over the ED already on Damage. The proc is, over time and especially vs groups going to net you a lot more damage.
7) In Psy Tornado, I'd be tempted to swap the damage/range for the proc. Very similar reasoning. I left eh dam/range int he previous example mostly because it was a cone, making it easier to hit more targets. This isn't a factor in the PsyNado. Also on this power, if you can scare up an extra slot form somewhere, I like to put the Chance for +Recharge in this power. It seems to proc pretty often and worth it in the long run if you like recharge.
8) Since you already have Super Speed, adding in either the Jump or Run stealth proc into Sprint gives you effectively full invisibility on demand.
9) I'd give serious consideration to a different EPP. Power or Soul would be my leading candidates.

But, all that aside, it really is a solid build! Hope the suggestions help.

Any way you go, Time rocks and your build will do it justice..

Haven't personally tried it yet, but Assault Rifle might be worth a look.

2 regular cone attacks. 1 AOE. A location based DoT patch to drop into the midst of slowed/held enemies, and then also the cone crashless nuke.

As an added note, and somewhat of a correction, unless something has changed, you can slot the HamiOs at lvl 47.

Welcome back.

And as others have said.

Global channels.

That's by far the way to find people to team with on most every server now. Without that, most servers might feel ghost-townish. With it, many servers should have enough traffic to satisfy you.

I'd only ever tried a Huntsman before, but somewhat recently started leveling a Bane, and I have to agree, I quite like it so far. A lot of fun. Only in the mid-30s so far, but that's far enough along to be able to tell that it's gonna be a very fun ride the rest of the way.

So far, never had any interest in crabs.

@Please: I think you're probably correct as to the source of the disconnect. Thank you for taking the time to shift my perspective, and for playing the role of dispassionate 3rd party.

@Kangstor: Yes, I do realize that. And while I'm very tempted to get into a debate on the role of the subconscious in decision making and whether or not semantics allow the word 'consideration' to apply to subconscious thoughts in a decision, I think it fairly clear at this point that you're just trying to bait a heated response if you've got bring Mars into the conversation. Although, I have to admit, I admire the 'out of this world' wordplay. Well done. I'll just decline the baiting invite though at this point, because it would only serve to go further off topic and really, niggling over precise word definitions at this point in no way helps the OP or addresses his or her question.

I've said my piece on the original question about as clearly as I feel I'm able, so, I'll leave it as is for now, until there is something new on-topic to discuss.

The other 2 players I mentioned with the closed inspiration tray will be along in a bit. ;-)

On damage aura defense sets, I'd most often choose a Brute. For several reasons, but most conspicuously, because the damage aura can't crit, but does get the fury damage buff.

Edit: But really, it's close enough that you can just pick whichever playstyle you prefer and make the build as scrapper or brute, and you'll be fine.

I'd be willing to bet almost everyone factors in inspirations, whether they even realize it or not.

If you build to the magical softcap, and you run into enemies with Def Debuff, what to people plan to do? Just abandon the mish? Plan to make 14 trips to the hosp and back? No; they expect in the unusual situations to use a purple.

If you build to have enough end to cover all your toggles and attacks, what happens when you run into enemies with end drain? Do you just expect you end crash and die? No, people plan to pop a blue.

Everyone plans their builds to the best of their ability to handle as many situations as they can, and use inspirations to cover the gaps created by unusual enemy types or a horrible run on the RNG. That's the nature of the game.

I'm sure there may be 3 players out that that build to be perfect for one situation and then only ever farm that one perfect mish, and that actually just close their inspire tray and forget about it, and happily faceplant when the RNG shows them a protracted bout of hate, but those 3 players are just a bit eccentric.

What it comes down to is, how much to you feel comfortable relying on inspires for? For some farmers, it's only to up the DPS. Everything gets converted to reds. For some, it's just to cover the debuffing situations. For some, especially if you don't feel the need to run on x8 at all times, 32.5% def is more than enough for most situations, especially if they also have good res numbers and/or regen or other forms of mitigation. Each players comfort level on that front will be a matter of playstyle and individual taste.

Wow. Not sure I would ever have stumbled across that trick. Glad I asked. Thank you so much for the reply.

How does one get the effects of enhancement boosters to show in a Mid's build? Is this even possible? I have a slew of them, and would like to see what the numbers will end up being before I start spending them.

I'd also like to see how a Hami that is enhancing 2 attributes compares to a lvl 50 dual type IO that has been boosted 5 times..

Thank you very much Roderick. Very detailed and clear. Everything I could want to know, except for that one bit you don't know, and I'm not sure in the grand scheme how much difference that makes.

Thanks for taking the time to spell all that out.

Now I just need to decide how many Achilles' I feel are enough to get it out and in effect most of the time, and stop there, as more is basically a waste.

I was sorta expecting that, but thanks for the clarification. So a small team that each had it the best result the could hope for is to get it close to seamless always up. OK, thanks.

I am pretty sure (99.999%) the proc can't stack at all from the same alt.

But, can it stack from different alts? IE, if a team of 4 debuffers are all slotting the proc in one or more of their powers, is it sorta like the stacking from Interface debuffs where a team that all has the same one reaches a point of diminishing returns (or no return).

And as a permutation on the above, if an Achilles' is slotted in a pet power, and the pet summoner also has achilles' in another power, would the pet's Achilles' potentially stack with the summoner's? Would pseudo-pets behave the same as true pets in the regard, too?
