What are some bonuses I would want on a spines/wp scrap? I was think alot of +hp and some e/ne defense and s/l defense, and do I need alot of recharge?

Yep, HP, a little extra regen, and defense are what you want to shoot for.

The recharge probably won't do you a whole lot of good. The only click power WP has is unaffected by recharge at all, and Spines has such maddeningly long animations that once you get to about 35% global recharge your attacks will be limited by their animations more than by lack of recharge.

I like Eradication for PBAoEs to get more end, E/N defense, and more max HP. I use 4 of them and round out the last 2 slots with 2 Scirocco's Dervish or Multi-Strike (depending on whether I want more end reduction or more recharge)

Obviously, Kinetic Crash for your ST attacks (not that spines has a whole lot of them), and Reactive Armor for resistance toggles.

Numina's Convalescence in all your powers with a heal component (HPT, Fast Healing, RttC, Health, etc.) will give you a good chunk of extra regen and some more max HP. I use the Heal, Heal/End, and Heal/Rech in autopowers, and Heal, Heal/End and Heal/End/Rech in toggles. Obviously, the unique should be put in an auto power.

I don't go too crazy chasing after regen bonuses, but most of the time you will end up with them while you're trying for something else.

I have a pretty standard template for WP characters, and those sets are the main pieces to it.

Thanks! Also, I believe you meant to say Kinetic Combat (not Kinetic Crash) anyways, I found a build you posted on a different thread, and I tweaked it to my liking. So far it's decent, and will 27% s/l defense be enough, I know the resist will help and what not, but i'm just wonderin.
