Alright, so I'm an SS WP Brute... So far I've stuck to common IOs.

But I'm curious about how Frankenslotting works. I'm not a numbers guy or anything...

This is my current build. I'd like some help making a relatively cheap build. I don't really need it -fast-. (I'm planning on doing this all on an alt build) But I'd like it better if it wasn't full of 100 Mil IOs. ((...Alright. I -might- grind for Luck of the Gambler. I dunno))

Any ideas?:

Any ideas?
The idea behind frankenslotting is that set IOs can enhance multiple attributes at the same time. By mixing and matching different IO sets, they can enhance more than SO or generic IO for a given number of slots. Another reason for frankenslotting is that some recipes are expensive, you can avoid them by picking a similar recipe from another cheaper set. By frankenslotting, you give up some of the set bonus. There are various degrees of frankenslotting, for example you can choose to frankenslot partially and keep some of your desired set bonus. As such, there are no specific rules on frankenslotting. Apart from the build being cheap, you don't give any other preference. I guess you probably just want us to make you some builds and see how they look.

The build I made below should be pretty cheap with very few rare IO sets. The underlying theme of the build is to increase recharge such that you can double stack rage longer, and raise your hp whenever possible. Your power choice is kept, I moved a couple slots around. I think this is not much of a boost in survival, but adding some more smashing and a reasonable improvement to QoL.

That Build does look -very- good. I'll look into it on tomorrow to see how it fits together. I've actually been experimenting with Frankenslotting on my Corruptor, so I have a much better idea of how it works. Though, as a result I'll have to set this project on hold for a little while while I raise the funds again.

Thank you for actually taking the time to post by the way.

Twilight, I don't understand why you slotted Mind Over Body and Tough the way you did. The additional benefit you get from all that end reduction is minimal, and it leaves them short of the ED cap for resistance. Those two toggles aren't any more costly than the defense toggles that you've slotted more normally. I'd 4-slot them with Reactive Armor, but if those are too expensive, 4 TCs aren't too bad.

I'd also take Mind Over Body much sooner, in the teens or early 20s at the latest, pushing back the Fitness Pool a couple of levels if necessary.

To the OP: even if you're not trying to maximize defense, I think the Steadfast +Def is worth getting for any character with some defense.

...That would make sense, actually.

This toon is already 50, so I should respec to pick up Mind Over Body a lot sooner that I did while I was leveling. I want as much of my defensive powers up as possible no matter what I'm doing. (And I run a lot of AE Arcs for RP Reasons).

For both powers together, the resistance is only lowered by less than 1% in terms of absolute value, although it looks larger than that when you look at the percentage. If you want to hit the ED cap, it's ok just to put a generic resistance IO for the fourth slot of both powers. I think the fourth bonus for Titanium coating is not really useful, so I want to put something else there.

It is not a bad idea to use Reactive Armor for the resistance toggles, and add a steadfast +3% def somewhere in the build. I'll leave it to the OP to tweak the build. If the OP wants higher defense, I think it's more effective to have a more focused build on defense than just a couple defense bonus.

Yes, I know it doesn't affect the overall amount of defense very much, but this slotting struck me as particuarly odd since the end reduction value was so high and the resistance value didn't even reach the ED cut-off. Normally when I see a power slightly underslotted like that it's because the player is trying to save slots.

I do agree that small amounts of defense are generally not very useful. But WP is a kind of an odd duck since the set values for E/NE/F/C defense values are pretty significant, enough to build on, IMO. So the Steadfast will help with that, but won't be particularly helpful in adding S/L defense since the starting value is so much smaller.
