The new builds adds 20% S/L defense, 80% regen, over 60 Hit Points, and .2 end recovery/second. I add shadow punch becuase I take away hasten, and replace SOW with TOF. This build would cost well over 1 billion inf, I think. I'm not sure if my dps would go up or down with the new build, and I'm not sure if it is worth it.

Between all my toons, I might have between 1.5 and 2 billion inf. I'm leveling up a SM/ELA brute that will obviously do a lot more AoE damage than Magnus, and I'm thinking I might should save all the money for him.

What are your thoughts? Do you have suggestions that could make this new build better and/or cheaper? Is it worth it? Should I save the inf for the SM/ELA?

Thanks.
