MA/Shield toon

Well after a lot of concepts and whatnot, I finally decided on a perfect costume and story for a MA/Shield character. So I went scouring the pages here for a few MA/Shield conversations and builds but found only one, and it didn't have any responses sadly. I've been fooling around on mids but have had little luck making a build I am fairly happy with.

A few things I'd like are to be able to have softcaps to at least Melee/Ranged and have decent recovery and recharge. I'd love to see what people can do with it.

Another note, the PvP IO +3% defense is totally out of the question unless one of you are willing to donate ;]

Thanks a ton for all your time!

Here is the build I plan on using. It has the Gladiator Proc, so just remove it. Even without it is still close to soft cap, although the coming nerf to BoTz will make it slightly under for ranged and AoE.

I also wanted to mention that you could swap out fly and hover for combat jumping and super jump or replace hover with Maneuvers.

I will probably end up replacing Hover with Maneuvers once the BoTZ nerf hits. I no longer use Combat Jumping because I have Ninja Run. If I could toggle both CJ and NR on at the same time I would definitely use CJ.

Ok, my take on it, I don't play MA so no idea if Eagle's Claw is worth it or not, but I put it in. Good regen, +maxhp, recovery and nice recharge. defenses are capped for melee and range and AoE is at 40% which should be good enough, I made this in 5 minutes so there's probably a lot of room for improvement (as I said, no MA toons here).
