I will however donate 1 inf so you can buy the world's smallest violin and console yourself.

I've got this build kicking around. Its got aid self, which I've found is an absolute must on melee toons with soft capped defenses. My Claws/SR brute took that power at 26 and has used it constantly since then, being able to heal myself close to half my hitpoints in about a second is a godsend (and you can move once the heal actually goes off if need be, so you can heal while fleeing if you get 2 sec breathing room)
This is my build, and I'll admit its entirely theory. My fire/SD is 22 right now and I'm following this build to the letter so far.
Evaluations and ideas would be great.

I can understand survivability being overkill eventually.| I think you're viewing something from the AV soloing perspective of no inspirations and self sufficiency. This isn't a build like that. It is less self sufficient than other builds but is designed for maximizing offense with a soft capped build. |
I'd still insist at taking another look at the endurance issues in the OP's build. We're not talking about eventually running low on end ; we're talking about being low on end pretty much all the time as soon as you use FSC, FB and SC ; adding a ST chain into the mix, this build would go from max to 0 in less than a minute. Sure, you can pop blues, but you could just as well make it more end efficient and pop rages, ending up with a bigger damage increase than what the extra recharge gives you.
Now, that's assuming you attack as fast as possible, but if you don't... Then some of the recharge is wasted anyway, and you might as well make it end efficient or more survivable !
Going from +105% recharge to +65% recharge in set bonuses would barely make a one second difference on FSC, two seconds difference on FB, five seconds difference on SC and it'd leave room for being completely endurance sustainable. To compare with the previous build having to use 4 blues a minute, using 4 rages a minute would give the equivalent of perma-BU (except for the tohit aspect and for Shield Charge which is capped at 400%, of course). It's certainly worth losing these few seconds IMHO.
Edit : Looking at it though I admit it's a much harder task than I thought.

Besides it took me months to acquire all of the funds for each of them. Its more fun that way instead of buying it NAOW!

Quick attempt at it :
Code:
While Hasten is up, it loses half a sec on FSC, a second on FB and 2 seconds on SC, 5 seconds on AD (losing the perma double stack) and 12 HP, but it gains 90% regen, 6% tohit and is endurance sustainable using only BU, SC, FSC and FB, and can afford to add a few ST attacks here and there without losing end either. Hasten would be down for about 15 seconds.| Copy & Paste this data into Mids' Hero Designer to view the build | |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |MxDz;1416;711;1422;HEX;| |78DAA5935B6F125110C7CFC2520A2C507A2FBD20D00A148AADF7B65E12AD2698925| |4A97DD0B6640BA740820B6179B03EF9A0261A9F34D1275FD47AF908C66FA27E13AD| |38974353E3A31BF8FFCE999D993333BB9BBFBF6208F1F0B2D00257EBA66D170BA59| |6D96CCA96775D96AA56A3DEA8EC0572BB8D56A5D1AEB56DCBBC27DD428870D7AD98| |977529B3D76BB2B5C7EBC8E1AD15B92B2D5B660BD59AAC97BBDB50CEAACA96B4DAD| |9EEC2586B34EA90A26D49DBF6D2A6D094B2CCF65569366B56C5AF9C2AD536ECFAAF| |356BA5EC95BAF94016F3A6DD86D347A1AC14FC1F617D74755CA2084888FE2DC2E02| |6E32E61EA0E639BE0F503348AD2C5102C1684A357C33B0E9D6078081917C107EE9A| |72D7D85D67F71E76EF711D8D32C0DDA9DC9D5127B98FC07E52240A143C7B9330779| |BF0185A70710BBA4B0A34F5961925827787D06F127AC0DDCDD9853B49263F1CE8E1| |0C9A6709A03B8557F109B8FBD4807C9F1DE81EDF274C7F647C20CCBE27CC7D22C42| |0CACF8738FC693A24F017E2E010E4B48EE0378AE9FBCEF84108404D211A5A4784A2| |14E38698014EEA1AB841A38A5EA2B9A472B44B6DD040523C970C4FA917A28638CA3| |9F48A720FBF60BC24445FF30EFC4654F6117E48A35CD8281716E6C2A6FBF8190C12| |9E42D4981ACFD845F6BB409858642C11A6960909EEE419448DABA8F134DD399662C| |C32925C5A82B0C0519A1B7BE52737D9814B38C1125196C8497E53C01453EDC6B88D| |38571CE78A330702D38460BE33AA84990E1D73FC27E3174350BEC4013FD7DF84B71| |095540726C354D53B30A59529CDA67D306555EEEC390A3C7186719A718AFB3A7BB4| |BD2044CDAB17739E2B9FD00FBF4EF861C7ABFF58D674F5298245234B443FFC3AFFE| |BFA6274F3786E7941D751D640B40D5C6DA26CE1761B5726AE76504AB8ED7C35BA95| |06CF63418B284B28CB28CFD1C98D5F960FC540F1A3045082287D280328C32861943| |7289D3FDCA9FCDB| |-------------------------------------------------------------------|
I'll admit it's kind of disappointing as a result - Fireball builds, yuck !
I'd still rather use that with rages than the other with blues. Of course, the argument could be made that solo, you can have enough insps to pop blues as needed *and* stay at the damage cap, and on teams, you often have buffs/debuffs... But I like to plan for PuGs where the only buff/debuff AT is an empath defender spamming HA on auto, y'know ? Could be completely irrelevant for people who don't play in such teams, that's true.
Regardless, even in the spirit of the first build, I'd change two things : switch the Arma and Oblit set, as the purple damage proc in FSC gets used three to four times as often as in SC, and work a kismet in there somehow (maybe trading the def/end slot in CJ? dropping from 45% to 44.9% AoE isn't that big of a deal if you ask me).

[Edit : yeah, my bad, not actually true, you'd gain ~0.2 end per second using only FSC and FB (I forgot to consider the perf shifter and panacea proc). Adding Shield Charge or ST attacks would be enough to start losing end, though.] |

Still, I really don't believe getting a bit more recharge and perma-hasten (which is the most overhyped thing ever for anything but a perma-dom) is worth all the sacrifices you do to get there, you could easily sit at ~60% global and fix most of the stuff highlighted above. |
I also tend to build very cross-buffing heavy teams. The people I play with also play IO'd out toons, generally Corruptors(Defenders/Controllers) or VEATs. A death is, honestly, rare. The areas that my toons lack, are usually fixed from the other characters on the team.
I won't get into that "1 empath defender rocking the aura" situation, solely because it would make me slam my head into my desk.

I respect your opinions a lot, but on this point I think you're wrong. The build works largely because shield charge and the fire AoEs (FSC, Fireball) are so overwhelming that the rest of it is largely irrelevant. Yes, you aren't going to be soloing AVs with this build, but for any content besides that or making impressive pylon runs, this build will outperform. |
Even without being built for survivability, it does fine. I kill stuff before it kills me.

If you run out of endurance once in a while, you pop a blue.

However, taking everyone's points in mind, I've redone the build; I tried to add in more resistance, more recovery, more regen, a smidge more accuracy, and fix the Armageddon slotting. (don't know why I did that. It was 5AM? *shrug*)
It may still not be as optimal as possible, but I think it should be a bit better, and still retain most of the offense I enjoy so much.

Indeed, your new build looks much better to me seeing as you only dropped about 10% rech and improved all your other stats quite a bit. I'd still change one thing : the 4th slot in Weave would be better as a Kismet, in my opinion, as 6% tohit kicks the crap out of 9% accuracy. Granted, you'd lose some end redux and defense but you'd still stay at or above the softcap.
To put what I said earlier in perspective, I run either solo or in pickup groups and almost never play in buff/debuff teams, so... Yeah. My build strategy probably doesn't apply much here, if at all.
This is the build I run. I havent had trouble with any AV's yet (no temps, no inspis). The only time I run out of endu is spamming my aoes. Even then I can pop blues, I have a bind that turns all my inspi to reds except medium blues and greens. And it kills mobs as fast as any other melee toon i've played.

Sent... binds are fickle though it took me some tinkering and I don't know if that was my final one. You might try player questions they helped me get it perfect.

There's been plenty of "budget" and more reasonable fire/shield builds posted. They have less recharge, less end recovery/regen, but are usually soft capped and will perform pretty well. However, even a "budget" version will be pretty expensive, especially if you go with LoTGs.
