Forcefield Build Advice

Actually Fulmens, I am not strictly soloing this character.
I am 27 now and have earned 25+ of those levels solo.

The reason for this trip is that I have seen several threads by another player who claims consistently that this combination cannot do well and runs out of endurance alot.

The combination is one that I have tried several times to get off the ground, but now I will stick with it all the way to 50. So far it has been easier than my Empath's journey and after reaching 22 and 3-slotted stamina, I am flying through content at normal difficulty.

One other comment I might add is that by spending more than a minor amount of time "Solo" as a defender, you learn things about your powers that you might otherwise miss out on by strictly being a team-only defender.

Its all win for me I have always liked the forcefield set (from the very start of the game), but for my own reasons did not stay with one past the early 20s. Now with color customization and alot more experience with Defenders, you could say I was just looking for an excuse to take one all the way to 50.

As far as solo speed, I have never been put off too much by the speed of Defenders, just that they suffer considerably in the first half of their careers. The only time I find the kill speed annoying is when I am out soloing in order to build up some influence, or get some recipe drops, and face Boss-level villains. This, mainly, is the reason I turn off Bosses while solo. It gets tiresome fairly quickly trying to beat down a Purple Boss. I could take several regular spawn groups in the same amount of time.
