Get a LotG+recharge in manouvers, seems better.

Also, lvl53 IO's are close to not obtainable. Outside that.. how you gonna fund all this? o.0

50)Sinergy X/(50)Mika.
(50)MaceX/(50)Encore

Sign the petition, dont let CoH go down! SIGN!

aye but there doesn't seem to be an option to change to L50s in the character builder so unable to do anything about that

LOTG + Recharge will probably go in at some point when I have finished my other sets

Like I say, I have 90% of the set IOs already, just need around 6 more IOs to have all the sets

I have been running carnie/COT missions solo like mad, I have been lucky in dropping some nice recipes and salvage, still have around 15 pieces of rare arcane salvage in the bank as a started for the next alt i decide to kit out

[/ QUOTE ]Aside from that, from what I've observed, level 53 IO's have identical bonuses as level 50 IO's. Seems little point in getting the higher ones, when the more common level 50's will work just as well.

Characters:
The Heroic Mary Grace (50)
The Mystical Thunderspark (50)
The Candy-loving Little Jenny (50)

Nice build although I hate to think how much all that costs! For each of those "sting of the manticore" alone you'll need hamidon goo which are currently going for 2.5 million each..ouch!
