Thanks.

Speed boost is another power I don't really want but on the VERY rare occasions I get talked into teaming I suppose I'll be expected to have it.

I can see dropping a slot from Inertial reduction and the End Red slot from Fulcrum shift to add a couple of recharge to Siphon Speed. I think that I probably wasn't using SS to all of it's potential on my other Kinetics controller.

Looking at Performance Shifter versus Efficacy Adaptor I can really see your point. Both sets give the same damage bonus plus EA gives you 5% recharge with all six slotted. A little closer to a "sorta Perma" character.

Thanks again for all the input. I've been playing for 3 years now and just really got into the mechanics of building a few months ago. So far I've tweaked an Inv/SS tank and my bots/traps MM and both are far outperforming what they had been!

IO'd to the gills, Willpower can do Stupid Scrapper Tricks as good as anything, at least the survivability tricks. With no damage boost, it won't do the damage tricks.

And so that I'm at least slightly on topic, there are a ton of Scrappers that can be VERY solid solo. But I'm hopping on the bandwagon:

Katana/Willpower

Do eeeeeet!

It works well without high-end IO sets. However, it doesn't have as much potential as other sets given an unlimited Inf to invest in it.

I check my combat tab and the attack hit but damage was 0. Wondering if anyone else noticed this.

Now here's the situation. I rolled a Grav/Sonic controller. He works medium well to descent. The problem is he is absolutely chewing through Endurance. Now when I say I chew through Endurance, I mean I come up to a mob with 2 minions, 1 Lt. I go to Hold the minions and take them out. I take out the first minion while dancing with the Lt. I Switch targets to the second minion and still dancing with the Lt. I get the minion down to about 10%, and I'm out of endurance. No endurance, my holds stop holding, and I've got a pissed off Lt and a Minion looking to play the bongos on my skull.

I've double slotted End Reds in all my attacks, triple slotted Stamina and at least slotted a single End Red in my other powers. So, what can I do to address the endurance problem?

Here's my current build:
