DB/WP Scrap
I haven't got time to look at the build at the moment, but my DB/WP is the only character I have made that I don't feel actually needs Hasten. You can chain BF > Attack Vitals with only about 30% global recharge and the Sweep combo doesn't need any more than that either, so you might want to look to see if Hasten is wasted.
British by act of union, English by grace of God, Northern by pure good fortune!
Thats a pretty solid build with some mighty expensive IO's, the Gladiators 3% alone...
About the only thing I can see to do would be set-mule boxing with another kinetic combat set. Since it would just be a mule, you could get off with getting the cheaper lower level pieces and the knockdown one. Looks like you could likely pull a slot from RttC and hasten easily, a third slot might be a bit tougher to scavenge but it would get you closer to the S/L cap that you want to be at. Personally I shoot for mid 30's S/L defense on my /WP scrappers, then it only takes one purple insp to easily hit the softcap while shredding things up.
And I didn't go hasten either, the sets pretty fast as it is. You could drop hasten and SS and just go CJ+SJ and then pick up manuevers and get you even closer to the defensive softcap. With QR and Stamina endurance should never be an issue so adding some of those end hogs out of the leadership pool is very doable. Tactics is also an option as another power to set mule for more S/L defense.
Ah my memory must be fuzzy with Dual Blades, here I was thinking you needed a pile of recharge to get a good ST attack chain off. Never really got around to rolling one myself so I might just run with that if you only need 30 ish % to pull it off. (The only thing I remember was Shred Monkey having a pile of recharge in his DB/SR)
I'll see if I can't tinker around with it a bit more, I was thinking of skipping 1k Cuts and switching some stuff around for Maneuvers and tactics but I'll have to see how fond of the attack they are and just how tanky they'd like to be.

So I am helping a friend build one of these and I'm kind of stuck on getting the defense/recharge/HP as high as I'd like.
I was shooting for 40% Def to all, 50% Rech and 20% HP but my numbers are falling a little short.
Anyone have any suggestions how to get closer?
The build isn't meant to be an prime AV Solo'er or anything like that. Just a very sturdy PvE build.
