It's been a while since I revisited the Pistols version of my namesake. With Alpha slots coming out, there are two really tempting ones: Spiritual for the extra recharge, stuns, and heals, and the one that offers extra Defense.

The situation with this build is I could very easily hit the Defense cap for Ranged, but, figure with all the -ToHit I'm throwing around, Recharge is better. This build is close to the soft cap for Ranged at the most dangerous moment of this characters career: the Hail of Bullets animation. However, I've not spent a lot of time playing blast sets in general, so I may have something horribly misslotted; Tex was always more of a Controller at heart.

Note that Tough, in this build, is mainly just a mule.

Here's the build [revised since original post to show correct version of build]:

I stuck with the range defense on my build, but still managing a decent amount of recharge at the same time. Didn't take haste, took hover/fly, and went for leadership pool instead of fighting:
