You may wish to drop by http://www.cohtitan.com and their forums and see if you can get some help getting Mids up and running for you. Much more difficult to post and talk about a build or builds without Mids or another hero planner.

A few general thoughts. You want recharge, then some more recharge, then add more recharge, first and foremost for a high end Empathy build. Higher the recharge the faster your Auras come up, more folks you can keep Fortitude on, AB can become a 24-7 buff on someone, the faster your blasts are ready again and you have a crashless nuke the faster it comes up etc. etc..

Most likely this means Doctored Wounds, Decimation, Obliteration and Positron's Blast 5 (or 6) slotted in where you can until you hit the Rule of 5 on their recharge bonuses (5% and 6.25%).

Hasten, ideally at or near perma recharge.

Some form of knockdown/back protection (4 is plenty as a rule).

If you are doing TF/Master of runs, then some form of stealth, Leadership is always a strong valuable choice on a defender, Recall Friend paired with stealth.

I was about to come here and make a thread just like this, but I'll ride on this one instead. For a reasonably cheap build, here's what I'm using now...

This one you should be able to afford, and it has plenty of recharge and decent bonus healing. Plus it has 4 slots that can be easily moved wherever you want them.

But I want Piercing Rounds, so here is the build I'll be changing to as soon as I decide if 1 more membrane exposure is worth 0.3 seconds on Fort and figure out where to pull one more slot to stick a -recharge in PR...
