Teleport or Super Leap/Concept or Power?

Hiya, I've had a concept for my Brute since before getting CoV, though without electric attacks I couldn't create him until I7. Now, I created him and am having fun, but soon I'll reach the point where I need to pick a travel power, and...

Well, my concept for a brute might be able to super leap, but he wouldn't be able to jump around and such to avoid attacks and the like. That means that concept-wise, Combat Jumping and Acrobatics aren't for him. Jump Kick looks bad and also seems too nimble for Argh Gauge.

On the other hand, he could very well teleport. He'll be able to teleport short-distance with Lightning Rod, why not be able to teleport himself/others for longer distances, only without the huge energy discharge in the end?

But, if I take teleport I'm not sure if I'll be able to really enjoy it, as while I pretty much know which powers I'll take, I have no idea how to slot them. I don't know if I'll be able to spare the extra slot to give Teleport 3 end reds and 3 range amps.

I plan to PvP maybe a little bit (if nothing else than for the badges once I'm done with the PvE side of things), but in no way plan to concentrate on that aspect of the game. So what should I do, stick to the concept and take teleport, or compromise over the concept and take super leaping and combat jumping, and while there acrobatics?

In other words, should I go with concept, or a better fighting ability?

Stick to the concept, it's why you made him.

Teleport will be faster than SJ even without Range enhancers slotted, could you find three slots for end reduction in Teleport?

As I said, I don't know how I'll slot things, so I'm not really sure. Maybe.

Thanks, you're probably right, guess I'll start teleporting myself and foes for starters at the very least.

TP needing slots is a popular myth, and nothing more. After stamina, TP is fine with no end reducers, especially if you have some sort of endurance management power (which you do, in case you're /elec?).

Actually, I'm Elec/Fire, but there's still consume.

TP works fine unslotted, and really well slotted. SJ technically needs 2 slots to hit the cap, but it's rarely slotted, people only slot TP cause of urban myths

That doesn't work while travelling though... Still, TP works fine with no end reducers as long as you have even stamina.

Again, thanks, and who knows, maybe I will have some extra slots for teleport. I assume that raising its range would be more useful than lowering its endurance cost, considering that I do know that I'll take Stamina?

[/ QUOTE ]3 slots, not two, yes? SS is the one that caps with 2.

I use TP on my main and have just 3 slots. I thinks it's currently 1 endred and 2 range, although before stamina I believe it was 2 endreds and 1 range. Can cross Crey's Folly with no problems although IP from north to south might be pushing it.

Which has made me wonder whether 3-slotting ss on my stalker is worth it due to hefty -speed of stealth. Kinda offtopic being stalker, but..

On the other hand hide+invisibility doesnt give -speed..
