Help for a Force Field Defender

I made this character with Force Fields and Energy blaster figuring I love mez protection and love being elusive but i have a question. i19 comes out and stamina goes inherent and i was thinking get tough and weave but I'm not sure if Dispersion Bubble, Maneuvers, Tough, Weave, & Combat jumping will stifle my character endurance wise. I'm planning to spend around like 300mil for him so my Question is will the addition of tough and weave kill my stamina?

It will be very difficult to run all of those toggles unless you invest in IOs that improve your recovery. Without IOs, you might be better off without the fighting pool.

My own personal FF/Energy (at level 30) went with Dispersion, Maneuvers, and Hover
This gets you to around 25% defense to all with just generic IOs.
My character has 4-slots of thunderstrike in each of his single target attacks, which puts ranged, and energy a little higher. Since he is a hover-blaster, that works well. And finally, instead of getting steadfast +3% defense IO (like most of my characters do by this level), I used my first pile of merits to get the Miracle +recovery IO for health, and that gets my net End recovery right around 2eps. Thats a number that a veteran told me awhile ago as a good target, and it works very well for all my toons.

As far as steadfast and resistance in general, I will wait for my ancillary shield to get those, and like Pinkpup, I also use the PFF + Aid Self when I get into trouble. But I am tech origin, so the tricoder works for me.

With I19, I will probably pick up leaping and just take Combat Jumping instead of fighting. Gives more defense, without any major increase in end use.

I believe its 240 merits.

If Reward Merits or Hero/Villain Merits are in your future often, it's not too difficult to get LotG 7.5, Numina/Miracle Uniques, etc. Just a little patience and saving up.

MY FF/Sonic ran Dispersion (with Red Fortune), Manouvers (Red Fortune), CJ (basic slotting), Tough (with Aegis + SteadFast Unique) and Weave (Red Fortune).
So the expensive toggles had at least 50% end redux, possibly 95% in some.

I also had aound +10% Recovery from IO bonuses I think, and the Atlas Medallion and Portal Jockey accolades for 5 extra Endurance each.

My attacks had over 50% end redux typically, and I still ran out of endurance. Adding the Performance Shifter unique to Stamina on top of 3 end mod equivalents helped out a lot.

During longer battles, I'd turn off Tough, that also helped big time.

I would take Tough and Weave, and use Tough for a mule to put a Res/Def in, without actually running it. ~15% resistance to smashing and lethal isn't worth the end cost of Tough to me.

If you're using Thunderstrikes, it's very easy to get 50+% end reduction in your attacks, AND get additional End Recovery and lots of it. Attacks are the big end killer; a very old rule of thumb was "one end red in one attack pays for one toggle." You can also get 50% reduction in your toggles very easily.

Frankenslotting three Def/End from different sets and a Def gives you, roughly, 60% end red and 56% [ED-capped] defense, and you can still do it for less than a million inf per power.

I have a FF/Dark bubbler and I run all these toggles. I also run Mind Over Body (the shield from the EPP).

I also have NO IO's slotted. I do have some Hami's slotted.

The great thing about being a bubbler is you can manage that endurance. The buffs only need to be refreshed every 4 minutes(I may be wrong on number). And you can attack when you want to or can.

I guess solo it would be pretty brutal, but Im guessing you didnt choose to run a FF and solo.

And note, if you don't want to spend out the buku buckage for the LOTG recharge IOs, don't. I currently only have one such mounted in the build, I actually went Def-Def/End from LOTG to get the regen bonuses.
