Returning Vet's current EM/EA Build

Okay, so I just returned to CoX after a 1 1/2 year break and I decided to dust off my main villain (who just hit 38) and I'm still not happy with him. I still get hit all of the time when I'm not using Overload (which is a godsend.) I took Aid Self to help out and it does alright but with the amount of dots that a lot of the villain groups throw it's pretty much useless in combat. Is this a decent build? Please help, I'm so close to getting my 1st lvl 50 villain and I really don't want to start over.

P.S. I'm guessing the bonuses from IO sets would help a bit, but I can't afford the insane prices of most IO sets like "Kinetic Combat" which runs on average of 40 mil +/- a piece.

Thanks,
-Lyte

I completed your current SO build instead of radically changing it. You can pick up the soul mastery patron power pool. The to-hit debuff from darkest night will stack with your existing defense. The modified build should floor the chance of the mobs to hit you for all damage types except negative energy, psionic and toxic.

The IO sets I put into your build should be very affordable. Feel free to change the last two powers to something else. When you have more inf, you can optimize your build in some other way.

Welcome back, hope that you're enjoying the game!
