Acid and Disruption are worth taking when they become available and using often.
Entangling has a nice secondary effect and is useful against AVs or EBs
You won't need stamina unless you want to run a lot of leadership toggles
Someone could slot and make extra power pool choices for your character and it could be totally wrong for how you try to play it. Throw something in the build.
A guide to Trick Archery
He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.
Already read the guide, did that before posting about builds, but after reading it again Im now tempted to actually make a TA/A Defender to level up >.< Suppose I best work out a levelling build then
Feel your way on choosing power but just know how to slot...For that you just read Mids.
I have a TA/A with full TA, full med pool, full vengeance pool, hover, flight and hasten. Can be done.
Most teams its np, cos you end up with some end buffer on it anyway or they are good big teams that have low fight durations but then some teams ie 1 tank, 1 scrapper a big hairy AV and lil ol me me for their survivability, endurance becomes an issue. Then I need to sparingly not over use certain powers. It is in order to save end for use on the more important ones which if "knee-jerked" to use EMP ain't easy. The one power that is easily over-stacked is Entangling. You haven't picked it but around minimalist tanks (those that get by on thin air) against certain enemies it can be a good thing.
You don't need med pool and you don't need leadership pools. I do because I fancied them, more for flexibility in support, end of story.
Your power choices says "some solo-ability". Down that road I'd say fitness pool is likely, with small teams I also know its a good thing. For an outside pool other than say speed and fitness which are best I'd suggest med pool. Topping up someones health between fights ain't a bad thing.
Pick powers and slot them. If I think you've perhaps over done something don't worry you'd know. Stamina-less builds are now since the cast time changes..sodding tight.
Slot basic IOs or SOs, I looked at sets, mostly imo its really not worth worrying about unless its attacks ofc.

Once again, thank you very much Shannon =)
I really should post a build of my TA one day! Staminaless is do-able but I have no toggles apart from Hover, not even the shield available in Ancillary 41+. I didn't bother with Snap shot or Entangling Arrow but by all means take them. I do have Conserve Power from Ancillary along with Power Build Up so if I do use Emp Arrow (and with Power Build Up it's great) I can pop Conserve Power and keep on trucking. On any team with more than 4 people in it my end isn't an issue. SO much so I'm really looking forward to i12's 'create insp from three of any other' option as I seem to collect Blues!
I slotted quite a few procs, especially in Glue Arrow and in oil Slick. If they'd just sort the non lighting issue out but don't let that hold you back, I had a lot of fun on mine to 50 and still play her regularly!

Me again, the person who's never played a Defender but likes fiddling with builds all the same -shifty eyes- Well this time its a Trick Shot/Archery one, spawned from when I ran into a load of Wyvern on my Stalker and was all 'ooooh shiney'..
