Shields UP!

sooo... how is everyone enjoying their FOTM scrappzor?

I'm certainly enjoying the damage output with Against All Odds running. Think I need to stack a few more DEF bonuses on before I tackle any massed ranks of bad guys unaided.

Don't have access to Mids at work, so here's a basic breakdown of where I've got to at 23:

PRIMARY: Martial Arts
- Storm Kick
- Crane Kick
- Focus Chi

SECONDARY:
- Deflection
- Battle Agility
- True Grit
- Active Defense
- Against All Odds

POOLS
- Air Superiority, Fly
- Swift, Health, Stamina

Next slots will probably be:
24: Axe Kick
26: Dragon's Tail
28: Phalanx
30: Grant Cover
32: Eagle Claw
35: Shield Charge
38: One With The Shield
41: Caltrops
44: Targeting Drone
47: Shuriken
49: Hasten

Any advice? Do I need to try and work Heal Other/Heal Self in there too?

I'd skip Crippling Axe Kick and get hasten at 24 and would get Combat Jumping at 49.

As per Medicine Pool, no idea of the defence numbers in shields, but if you are under Soft Cap, it would be prolly a good option.

i got a ma/shield which looks like this at 29 (forgot which power i picked where but i held off on travel power since i have the 30 day jetpack)
