I wouldn't 4 slot anything with the same IO and I would resist 3 slotting IOs as well.
Lets take a 3 end mod and 3 rechg power and make it into a 2 end mod, 2 rechg and a endmod/rechg "saving on a slot" for elsewhere. That endmod/rechg could be something cheap from the lower sets and be fine. The second build isn't something I'd want too expensive.
The 2 acc 3 dam could become 1acc, 1acc/dam, 2 dam or 2 acc, 2 dam, 1 dam/rechg, again a lower level set enh.
Every figure on every power has to be read and then you may say well is it going to be noticeable.
Combat jump with a def slot, how much better does it get? Add the second def slot and how much better still? But don't you have so little in defense that the defense from it is hardly going to be noticeable and so you'd need to rely on active defense anyway?
When you read run speed, forget the percentages and look at it in ft per sec. Going from 3 IOs to 3 SOs is such a small change in speed but being a blaster with ranged attacks is that going to matter? You could ask yourself if sprint could have 1 IO less as it is only 0.1 ft per sec different and have that slot elsewhere.
Lightning field, when your draining, it's there to prevent the enemy recovering end between the proper drain powers like short circuit and timesink. 0,78 eps on you is a lot too, and you only want enough to overcome enemies end recovery when it comes to end modding it. One of the stamina end mods creating 0,07 end rec could be saving 0,23 in end cost in LF but you can free up slots in many places. You take a sprint IO out of swift, exchange a plain end mod io in stamina for a perf shift end mod and gain travel speed back.

He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.
what are you aiming for?
i would perver a datachunk for better cemment the build:
switch the jumpIO in cj against a winters gift 20% (jumpIO's in cj don't get a big jumpbonus
Helge corr lvl 50 rad/cold
Helge2 corr lvl 50 ice/rad
Techbothelge MM lvl 50 robo/dark
Helge Mauz def lvl 50 emp/ele
illuhelge troller lvl 50 illu/rad
Wiederbelebter helge nk lvl 50 bs/reg
Maennerschreack nightwidow lvl 44
Quantenjaeger ws lvl 3
Some cool comments, thanks
Starting with Toy, the basic premise is a total blapper, possibly for arena PVP (but not exclusively.)
You'll notice I've gone for far fewer range powers, but melee heavy.
Vernicherhelge, I had hoped to get the data chunk but it wasn't happening. Possibly my inexperience with Mids, I don't often use it I admit.
Shannon, thanks fro comments. Serveral of the powers have 4 slots for conversion to sets at a later stage (but when I put that together it was very late 
)
You make some great points re-lightning field & CJ and run too. I think I can take them on board and give the build a tweak
cheers

I would read the build but it seems i cannot see the colour you posted in 
So thanks for making me aware that i need to visit the opticians, but sorry that i couldn't put some constructive comments about your build 
I can't think of anything constructive to say except how devestasting this build will probably be in PvP (I know your other one is...) sigh. Thanks for the help though

Quaver: Kinetics/Sonic Defender
Semiquaver: Sonic/Kinetics Corruptor I think you are going the wrong way, needs more frankenslotting and some set bonus are still useful before hitting DR like +hp
Ok well scratch that. I've had a pretty radical rethink.
I've redone my first build and will be redoing my 2nd very soon. I've gone for a "blanker" type on build one and a far more ranged-based 2nd build.
Ps what IS frankenslotting?
Thelonious Monk
horrible at exlaining things but i´ll try
Standard set slotting that doesnt maximise all attributes
Level 1: Lightning Bolt -- Dev'n-Acc/Dmg(A), Dev'n-Dmg/EndRdx(3), Dev'n-Dmg/Rchg(3), Dev'n-Acc/Dmg/Rchg(5), Dev'n-Acc/Dmg/EndRdx/Rchg(5), Dev'n-Hold%(7)
Here i switched out a couple of the ios in devastation to gain more recharge and and accuracy while still getting 2 tier 1 set bonus
Level 1: Lightning Bolt -- Ruin-Acc/Dmg/Rchg(A), Thundr-Acc/Dmg/EndRdx(3), Dev'n-Dmg/Rchg(3), Dev'n-Acc/Dmg/Rchg(5), Thundr-Dmg/Rchg(5), Decim-Acc/Dmg/Rchg(7)
orrrr you could do something like this
Level 1: Lightning Bolt -- Decim-Acc/Dmg/Rchg(A), Dev'n-Acc/Dmg/EndRdx/Rchg(3), Dev'n-Acc/Dmg/Rchg(3), Thundr-Acc/Dmg/Rchg(5), Ruin-Acc/Dmg/Rchg(5), Dmg-I(7)
hope this helps
I think I got it
So you choose a set IO based on its individual characteristics, rather than looking at how it works with other IOs in that set. Slot according to each individual set - with no regard to how set IOs combine (or how standard Invention enhancements work in individual slot placements
Yes?

Just trying something out in Mids.
Would be interested in comments.
