Rising to the Challenge (Katana/WP)
If you're going to go for crazy, I vote for trying to reach softcap without using Divine Avalanche. My latest attempt was close, but not quite there. It's an interesting paper build, but I'm finding that in practice, swordfighting with hover on... is awkward.

Well when you have a few more billion to spend you can make a few more tweaks. (Like you really need them)

I think I'm gonna be running around with the current build for awhile. I got like 1.5 bill left and thats probably gonna go to my Katana/Regen.

Plus I really can't afford those PvP IO's
Iggy, I think you should give the STF a try. Use insps. Death is acceptable. Doing it would be a thing of beauty and glory.
Be well, people of CoH.
Definitely thinking of giving it a shot. Trying to find a day or two of free playing time and gonna have to put up some inspiration storage thing in my empty base. I'll probably need some temps also to even have a very small slight chance on this.
I was pondering it on the way home. The only items that I think you'd need to be concerned with are GW and her hold and LR with all 4 towers up. If you can manage to nail the red and yellow towers, it'll be smooth sailing. Not sure what to do with GW besides leaning on temp pets in the hopes that she wastes her hold on them instead of you.
The rest of it should be a cakewalk.
Be well, people of CoH.
If I am going for softcaping s/l/f/c/e/n on a WP, I'd probably go with a DM. That way the lower regen you're gonna end up with could be picked up by SL.

My top two picks for a high def WP build are:
1. Katana - Anything other than the very top attack chain is easy to achieve and divine avalanche can be used to cover for the lack of defense debuff resistance. The build I posted has 50hp/sec regen with 1 target in RTTC v.s. 80 for your build. A better builder might even be able to close that gap some.
2. Fire Meele - Scorch->Cremate->Scorch->Incinerate is an easy to achieve tier 1 attack chain. I can softcap s/l/f/c/e/n and still maintain 40hp/sec regen. This is my second choice because even though it has a better single target attack chain, the focus of a high defense WP build is survival and I think the katana build does that better.

Me neither... This is like a crossword puzzle for me, I enjoy trying to min/max WP builds.
