Anyone?
If going for typed defense instead of positional, I think Eradication is better than Obliteration.
Similarly I'd rather run Basilisk's Gaze at 4 slots than Lockdown at 6 so you can end up slotting Poison Gas Trap for max Recharge... it's a cornerstone of AV soloing.
Also, no need for all of the LotG, the build will do fine and be a lot cheaper without them.
If you can free a power, maybe Assault, to take Burst and 3-slot Thunderstrike, that's a pretty slot-effective Negative Energy defense.
...I have burst. It's the first power I took. The reason I put Lockdown in there is that it gives Ranged/Negative defense as well as Fire/Cold defense.
Also, the reason I'm including LotG now is that they're supposed to be alot easier to get via alignment merits. I believe the wiki says they cost 2 alignment merits a piece and on the forums here I've heard it's possible to get one every 2 days if you work at it.
Though I think I will try that with Thunderstrike.
...
And it worked, I took two slots off of Poison Trap and put Basilisk's Gaze in there, and put the two slots in Burst and put Thunderstrike in there (While still keeping Chance for Build Up and Chance for Negative Damage) I hit the defense cap for Negative, too. I'm unfortunately about 9% away from the softcap on Psi, but I think that'll be alright as I've got Softcapped Range/AoE/Melee defense, too.
What type of AV/Hero are you going to face? I hope he is not doing psionic damage! :P
What's left is to normalize all Assassin Strikes and improve Stalker's old sets (Claw, MA and EM)! You don't need to bring back the missing PbAoE attack. You just need to make the existing ones better! For example, make Slice a WIDER and LONGER cone.
Me too =P I was thinking the ability to tankermind through the majority of general AVs (Psionic AVs notwithstanding)

Some AVs are a lot easier than others. You should find that deals mostly lethal/smashing to take advantage of your soldier's innate resistance. |

Other than that, I think I may want to take Aid Self just because you don't have any reliable way to heal yourself.

Well, I won't be able to do that without completely dropping an entire power pool.

I would drop Super Jump tool. On villain side, you can buy temp fly at lvl 10 and if you have ninja run, you really don't need super jump. You can make up the loss of Combat Jump defense with a decent Aid Self and Aid Other too.|

In fact, all my MM/Trap take Aid Other. MM using Aid Other is the best because your pets are still attacking and you can afford spending 3s to provide a decent heal.

Don't have Ninja Run. And I really really, would like to not have to go visit the Black Market/Invention Center every half hour of flight.
With alot of annoying work, I was able to reach the soft cap of almost all of the defenses available, I'm trying to make a build capable of soloing AVs. Here's what I got so far.
With a combination of IOs, FFG, Maneuvers, CJ, Weave, and Scorpion Shield, I've gotten up to 64% S/L. 56% Eng, 43% Neg, 36% Psi, 53% Fire/Cold, 45% Melee, 47% Ranged, and 57% AoE defense
Are there any tips anyone can give me when it comes to making up a build to solo AVs?
