TA IO Advice
I don't know what just happened with the color text, but you can still click the data link.
Procs in Flash Arrow, when triggered, will cause aggro and will break the -Perception Flash has. Unless you really want that Dark Watcher in there, I suggest removing it. Unless you don't mind random aggro when you use it, that is.
The -Rech proc in Glue is somewhat useless. -Rech is only really good when applied in high levels. Glue has some (as does Ice and Entangling, but you didn't take either one), but not enough to pile up with the proc. Suggest replacing with Impeded Swiftness Chance for Smashing Damage proc.
Blazing Arrow taken WAY too late. That's your heavy hitter. Get it ASAP.
Rain of Arrows underslotted for Rech. That's your main AoE attack later on. Give it the love it deserves.
Assault and Tactics both overslotted for EndRed. You've got Stam slotted out fully along with the +End proc. You don't need 2 EndReds in them. Suggest removing and reallocating slots.
Other than that, it looks fine-ish. I don't think I would play it, but if you like it, then that's what counts. Have fun!

Grumble, stupid forum ate my post so here we go again.
First off most of your IOs are level 30 or 40, I'm assuming you intended those that could to be 50 . In general you've done a good job but I think you've gone a bit overboard with your Frankenslotting especially for your blasts. Slotting for damage and accuracy to the exclusion of all else is rarely the optimal solution. You don't need that much accuracy since archery has a high base accuracy and you have Tactics. Additionally I think you're overdoing it with the procs a bit, a build based on proc damage is workable (although personally I dislike it) but you want them in your Archery powers not your trick arrow powers so that you can spam them more.
For Fistful of Arrows and Rain of Arrows I recommend a 5-slot Positron (all except the Proc). It provides decent boosts to everything important and has a lovely collection of set bonuses (specifically Recovery, Accuracy and Recharge). Ragnarok is even better although the extra cost is not really worth it.
Personally I wouldn't bother with Ranged Shot. Sniper shots just aren't that useful to a defender since you normally open with your debuffs anyway. Consider putting in Ice Arrow to give you a hard mez to use against nasty minions/lieutenants. You could also put in Explosive Arrow for more AoE goodness.
Similar things go for your single target attacks except here I recommend 6-slotted Thunderstrikes for the defense bonus.
As Rush said lose the proc in Flash Arrow but stick in a different IO from the set, that recharge bonus is nice.
For glue arrow you can lose one of the recharge and it'll only cost you a couple of seconds recharge which is probably not critical. I also find that one snare IO is sufficient but YMMV.
For Acid Arrow Lysome Exposures make an affordable (about 6million each) way to save a slot or two. Membrane Exposures are also nice (for both Acid Arrow and Oil Slick) but tend to be a bit pricier.
I wouldn't bother with the Chance for Build up in Aim. It only activates 1 time in 20 which to my mind is pretty much worthless although again YMMV.
For Emp Arrow I recommend replacing the Accuracy IOs with Endoplasm Exposures (about 5mil each) and replace the other IOs with regular recharge IOs. The damage procs won't do enough to make it a damaging power, you want to slot it as you Emergency Stop button.
Ok, sleepy time now.

So I've rolled a new TA/A Defender recently. I loved the TA set on my Thugs Mastermind, so I wanted to give a full fledged TA defender a try. I just want some pros to tell me if my build would function how I want it to. Basically, I am not looking for set bonuses unless I can get a little extra recovery. I do, however, want to pack the build full of procs so every time I use a TA power, something random and exciting happens. This is my build here. I'd appreciate it if you'd copy it over and look at the numbers.
