So, I flipped through a guide or two, but honestly, I've never played a Defender before, and I don't really know what I should be slotting for. So, please, tear this build down, tell me what I did right, and tell me what I should be doing differently.

Thanks.

Just a quick glance over. Nightfall needs 6 slotted, actually probably need to 6 slot your 2 single targets too. posi's are good in night fall, and the thunderstrikes in gloom and dark blast. I usually just 5 slot fearsome stare and darkest night, and howling twilight is good with 3 recharges. If you're going for ranged def bonuses that's fine, but the 6 slotted thunderstrikes do the same. Never seen a need for dark pit, and not a big fan of blackstar either.
If you want to make a toon on liberty, look me up. We'll run a couple of missions and see what they do. I run solo at 0/+8, with a death every now and then from a mez.
