Katana/Inv

I've wanted to see how good a build I could make on a Inv, with the goals of upping my defense and keeping everything end lite, while also keeping it within 100 mil. How'd I do? Any input is greatly appreciated!

At current market prices, the 3 kinetic combat sets alone put you far above the 100m mark (case in point : I'm sitting on a 21M bid since 3 days on a dam/end/rech ; it's really hard to get these at a decent price from the market unless you're willing to wait weeks). I'd replace these for smashing haymaker, the additional 5% def isn't worth it on a budget imho.

Other than that, it looks great. I'd go for a kismet in CJ, trade Unstop for CP and drop one of the AoEs for Weave, but that's just how I like to do things.

Thanks for the feedback! I actually priced the kinetic combats awhile ago villain side, thinking that the prices on the hero market would be in the same ball park, but I suppose that was naive of me. I'll definitely make the switch.

As far as switching Unstoppable for CP, I think I'm going to have unstoppable until I get to 41 and then I'll respec. I really want to use it, as I've never gotten to use one of the epic tier 9's before, so I'll keep it until the novelty wears off and then trade it in for something that's up more often.

As for adding in Weave, I'd probably replace one of the passives (the energy one) for it. Problem is, do you really think I can handle another toggle? I'd like to be able to move at a steady pace from group to group.

I'm sure you could handle another toggle with CP, but it might not be worth it without it. The biggest upside I see with Weave is it'd push all your defenses to the ~36 range, softcapping you with ten foes or one luck.

I took yet another look at it, and what I think I'll do is use just weave when facing non S/L foes, and use tough for S/L. If I get lucky and have a Miracle +recov drop, or if I get enough merits to craft it/random roll it, then I think I'll have enough end to run both.

Thanks a lot for the advice NiHilii! It's very appreciated.
