I made 2 builds (for the Controllers and the defender) so you can get an idea of slotting... personally I would not take hover and fly, but good, I let it in. But I changed Vengeance with lingering radiation. You won´t fight AVs without it....
Turn off AM and turn on Accolades to roughly simulate tripple AM (ok, here you are +10% above)
With the maneuvers from the other chars you should be softcapped to ranged. Since you want ranged, go for it.
Charge with your Controllers, lock the enemys down, drop EF, Go in, 3 CCs with holdprocs should hold everything, Souldrain on defender, Rain of arrows.. next spawn.
Btw: Can you post your Multiboxing software?

Btw: Can you post your Multiboxing software? |
If your using 3 computers and 3 accounts (or whatever, 1 computer per account) you can get along with just Synergy with the Broadcast patch, found here.
http://www.fundamentzero.com/index.htm
This is from Dr.Mike2000's sig. on the left side is a picture of "City of Heroes X2" click on that and follow the instructions, it's pretty easy.
If, like me, your using 2 computers and three accounts you need also install software that will send keystrokes to the different windows, I am using HotKeyNet, which is free software, you have to write your own scripts to do it, so my advice is to have one PC per account, much much easier.
Have you considered diversifying your builds some? Some powers become far more powerful when stacked, like AM, Choking Cloud, Leadership and most AoE controls. But in some cases, multiple copies of the same power is redundant. Do you really need all three characters to have Hover, Fly, Recall Friend and Mutation?
Frankly, you can get by easily with just Super Speed and Hover -- skip Fly. (Heck, with the Raptor Pack and the temp Jet Pack and the Jet Pack you get from the Positron TF and the Zero G Pack, you really don't need Hover, either. Take Combat Jumping for the immob protection.) Let one of your characters be the 'porter with stealth. The others can then add a little bit of diversity -- Spore Burst, Spirit Tree, EM Pulse, Tactics are all powers that might be useful, even with only one or two.
LOCAL MAN! The most famous hero of all. There are more newspaper stories about me than anyone else. "Local Man wins Medal of Honor." "Local Man opens Animal Shelter." "Local Man Charged with..." (Um, forget about that one.)

Yeah, would be much easier... using Synergy too for dualboxing and also have "only" two PCs here. had always problems with Hotkeynet to designate the proper windows with Coh, so I used to run a rather passive Char as 3rd (mostly a Sonic/sonic defender).

Also I rly think you have a point, there is one thing that makes synchronized builds better (as far as bonuses goes): they allow to synchronize power usage. |

If you say for example that taking instead of Recall friend vengance, then ok. ( Because it won´t change the recharge times of the powers).

Local,
As always your points are very valid but here is the thing (I'll put it in lists cause you like lists
)1 - It's much easier to play with all the same powers because if not then it's alot of different key combinations, I'm already having two different power sets to deal with (Archer and Troller) so it can be a headache (my fault cause I have more then one character).
2 - Mutation and recall friend are my backup's since I never know who will die and usually if one goes, more then one follows and I like having the ability to do everything with everyone, makes things faster.
3 - I thought about getting group fly, thing is sometimes they get stuck behind buildings (auto follow is messed up in this game) and well, you can see the problems it will cause.
4 - The Sleep would not work well on this team cause of all the AoE, but I get what you mean.
5 - I can't get along without fly, it's like CJ for others, I just can't.
What your saying is very true and I am running Tactics on one of them, it's actually 3x Maneuvers, 2x Assault and 1 Tactics.
Thing is, that running 3 or 4 (I bought another account, god I am dead) toons at once is a different beast, moving the mouse across three screens takes alot of time so I don't like to do it, so I'm stuck to using the keyboard to do everything, it has it's limits.
Thanks though Local, your right of course, but it doesn't work for me too well.

Also my build's have 2 Fallouts and 1 Vengeance so I am diversifying a little.

Hey Guys,
Ok, here is the truth, I SUCK at slotting characters, simply because with my advanced Altitus I have never gotten a character high enough to bother, but my all Rad team (a Rad/Archer and 2 Plant/Rads) are holding my interest longer then any other team has and it looks like this will be my first 50's.
With that said, I'm looking to max +DEF with my build as I have tons of +End and +Recharge with 3 AM's and Hasten up all the time. While +Def is the focus any other benefits would be welcome as well.
Here is my current build, I have left out the slots, if anyone would kindly suggest what I should slot my powers with to help survivability I would really appreciate it. Feel free to move the powers around and add whatever slots you want, yes I do want to keep Fire as my APP since this team is ranged.
