largely depends on the primary, but with just the secondary, /sr needs obviously positional defense, then +hp and +regen (and +recov, to a point).
/sr and /wp don't benefit from recharge themselves, but the primary largely will.
/wp needs typed defense, hp, and regen. It should be ok on recovery for the most part.
/regen doesn't need hp at all. or regen. It needs recharge and defense (typically positional), and also doesn't require recovery.

ARgh! Sorry 'bout that...I forgot to mention that they are all Katana. I skipped DA on my Kat/SR since I was able to softcap w/out having to use it. |

I also have a DB/WP that I'm about to start upgrading. All are lvl 50.
If that's the case, WP will only need enough recharge for the standard katana chain (GD - GC - SD - GC - DA). Beyond that, you're not really gaining anything from having more recharge.
SR, on the other hand, can cram enough recharge in for the optimal chain (GD - GC - SD - GC) without making any serious sacrifices to the rest of the build.
I don't actually know the recharge values off the top of my head for those chains, unfortunately...

I run GC (Achilles Proc and quicker activation time than the other two), - SD (Knock 'em up) - GD (Hit 'em hard while on the ground) - rinse and repeat. Of course, I don't have enough recharge unless hasten is up but it seemed to make sense. When it connects, they never even get a shot off (maaaaaaybe one at first but /SR handles that most of the time) and I kill most things in two - three hits.
I've been out of the game for awhile so I'll take a stab (oh geez) at those chains tonight. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong lol
GD>GC>SD>GC requires 250% total recharge in GD, 136% in SD, and 90% in GC. Achilles' Heel proc in GC, and if you can afford/squeeze it in, the FotG -res proc in GD.
Assuming we're after survivability, I'd say:
SR - soft cap positional defense, hit points, regen
WP - typed or maybe positional defense (I haven't compared what you can do taking advantage of Divine Avalanche), hit points
Regen - recharge, recharge, more recharge, positional defense

Focus on defence with /WP, and enough recharge for your attack chain.
Most of the time you'll find that by doing so you get +HP anyway.
Do not chase regen bonuses.
If you hit them with Golden Dragonfly and they fall down, then you hit them with Soaring Dragon while they are down, they will fly up, taking them longer to actually get up off the ground. If they are on the ground from SD, and you hit them with GD, I have never seen them 'fall' again, making them get up faster.
Your character does not have capped defense. Depending on your AT the cap is between 175% - 225%. Your defense is not teal in the combat window, it can go higher. STOP SAYING IT IS CAPPED! The correct term is Soft Cap.
I enjoy playing in Mids. I specialize in Melee Characters, other AT's usually bore me.
Instead of asking for builds and such I wanted to get a "priority list" of what to focus on for these secondaries.
/SR - Postional Def, Recharge, Regen?
/WP - Typed Def, HP, Regen, Rech?
/Regen - HP, Rech, Regen? Should Position or Typed Def be focused on?
Please correct my list. Thanks.
