Well, at least I soloed one AV

So, I've been wanting to solo an AV for a while now, and finally got the alternate build on my storm/psi fleshed out enough to try soloing one. And after many failed attempts, I finally succeeded. I didn't use any inspirations, but did fall back on Gaes of the Kind Ones to refill my endurance and, at one point, panicked when he was near death and used Eye of the Magus for the added resistance in case I got hit near the end.

Of course I picked Marauder who has a weakness (-20%) to psi, only has one ranged attack, and is easy to immobilize. Thus I suspect the immobilize and fire strategy won't work against most AVs, but it felt good to at least be able to say I solo'd one, even if it did require a lot of luck (Two hits in a row would take me out, so I needed to hope the defense held long enough to regen back to the point where I could take another hit). My next goal I think will be to tweak the build a little bit so that I don't need to use Geas, and then maybe i'll worry about trying to take down another AV. (I plan to gut accuracy and AoE defense in favor of recharge and endurance).

Planned additions to the current build (before remodeling) include the achilles heel proc, the acc/dam/rech Apocalypse to LS (although I will need to sit down and run the numbers again to make sure that's still the best place for the set), the PVP +def IO in charged armor, and the panacea in health (by pulling a slot from one of the travel powers)

For anyone that's interested, this is the build I used (I can also post the intended future build if there's interest):
