Your build has some issues, to be honest. Also, I'm going under the assumption that you do not wish to use either Purple or PvP IOs by your build.

First, you may not be aware of the 'Rule of 5", but you can only benefit from a maximum of 5 of one type of set bonus or IO bonus, such as the Luck of the Gambler: +7.5% recharge IO. You can have 5 LotG: +recharge as well as 5 set bonuses that give +7.5% recharge. Any more than that and you are gaining nothing from them. To check this, look in Mids at the top under 'Window' then 'Sets and Bonuses'. If you see anything marked in red with '>cap' that means that bonus has exceeded the rule of 5.

Unlike your Ill/Rad, there's no debuffs to assist your to-hit, so your Scrapper build would need more Accuracy. I, and most other AV-soloers, shoot for 95%+ Accuracy vs. +4 enemies.

SD is underslotted for recharge, as this is the biggest boost to your DPS. Some builds slot a set of Obliteration here if they want SD to do damage and gain a boost to melee Defense, but for AV soloing it's generally better to not slot for damage so that it does not kill your fodder.

For DM, the top DPS attack chain is MG>Smite>SL>Smite. The recharge required to run this is 234.2% total recharge in MG (this includes both your global recharge plus the recharge enhancement in MG). If you have enough global recharge for MG, then by default you'll have enough recharge in the other attacks for the chain. This will require 3-slotting Hasten for recharge, as well.

SL is your second best attack and should be slotted as such, but for AV soloing on an /SR it is also your heal, so you're looking for optimal slotting for that as well. Here's three different ways to slot SL:

1.) If you can afford hami-Os, then many, including myself, like using 3 Nucleolus and 3 Golgi to optimally slot SL for Accuracy/End/Damage/Heal.

2.) Failing this, if you can afford two Purple IOs in your entire build then my next preferred slotting is Touch of the Nictus: Heal, Acc/Heal, and Acc/End/heal/HP/Regen, a Crushing Impact: Acc/Dam/End, and the Hecatomb: Damage, and Dam/End.

3.) If no Purples, then you're looking at sacrificing some enhancement value and set bonuses and using something like: two Heal IOs, a Crushing Impact: Acc/Dam, Mako's: Acc/Dam, Dam/End, and Acc/Dam/End/Rech. (This is the slotting I've used in the build below. If you can afford either of the other two options, then you can use them instead.)

On an SR, you want to get 95%+ Defense Debuff Resistance (DDR). You can check this by looking in Mids under: 'Window' > 'Advanced Totals' > click on 'Status' and it's listed under Debuff Resistances as 'Defense'. This will require slotting of SR's Defense passives and toggles.

When soft-capping an SR, you'll be looking at using IO sets that give set bonuses that increase the positionals first and not those that increase typed defense first. You used a few Kinetic Combats and a set of Eradication - these are not as good as using Obliteration(melee), Scirrocco's Dervish(Aoe), Multi-Strike(a little each of AoE and Melee), Mako's Bite(ranged), Touch of Death(melee) for attacks, for example.

Most AV builds take the Body APP to assist with Endurance sustainability, which will allow you to go forever running your optimal attack chain without running out of blue.

Finally, you'll want to get the +HP Accolades, if you can. SR's survivability increases dramatically the more HP you have, as it helps cushion the big damage hits when an AV gets past your defenses and allows your passive scaling resists to work more effectively. It also increases SL's heal as well as Aid Self, if you take it for added increased survivability.

Soo, after that long-winded explanation, here's a build I'd put together for someone who didn't want to use Purples or PvP IOs for use in AV and Pylon soloing. It's capable of:

- runs the MG>Smite>SL>Smite attack chain gapless
- has 95%+ Acc vs. +4 in all attacks
- SD is slotted for no damage so you won't kill your fodder
- has sustainable endurance so you won't run out in a long fight without needing Dark Consumption.
- has +95% DDR
- 1777 HP and 21.22 HP/sec regen with the +HP Accolades
- Aid Self for added survivability
- fully slotted Tough
- Super Speed for travel power plus a +Stealth IO in Sprint for total invis to Stealth missions. (You could replace SS with Super Jump if you'd prefer and go without total stealth.)

Good luck with killin' some AVs!

I actually kinda like Eradication for positional softcapping. If you 6 slot it you get: 1.8% max end, 1.56% ranged defense, 2.25% Max HP, a useless debt reduction, and 3.13% AoE defense. So, for 1 more slot, you get the same AoE defense as Scirocco's, and a little bit of extra ranged defense as well. You ALSO get more max end and max HP. Makes sense to spend one more slot to get the same benefit as another set, plus other useful bonuses.

For a DM/SR I would put that set in something like Dark Consumption if I could afford to burn the slots. Obliteration and Scirocco's will give better enhancement values, so I'd use Eradication in something I don't plan on using that frequently.

Edit: Now that I think about it, Eradication gives better recharge enhancement than Scirocco's, which makes it better for a power like Dark Consumption, where accuracy and damage don't matter as much.

I concur that Kinetic Combat is bad for positional defenses though.

Gaidin really knows his stuff. He helped me with my current Live build. Everything I came to say he already said Biggest thing is limiting yourself to 5 LotG's, that'll save you at least 500 mil in inf.

Here's my build, maybe it'll give you some ideas. I recently adding a set of Armageddon (minus the proc) to Soul Drain to maximize damage, and with Hasten it only has about 8 seconds of downtime.

It's a thirsty build with so many toggles, but it works out perfectly that Dark Consumption is up right about the time I hit <50 end, and then as long as I hit one enemy I get a full end bar. I've used this build heavily on Tin Mage and it performs beautifully (except for those damn mines). Also recently ditched Conserve Power for Eluse, for when SHTF, because I found Dark Consump to very reliably fill my end, and CP was generally unused.

So, for 1 more slot, you get the same AoE defense as Scirocco's, and a little bit of extra ranged defense as well. You ALSO get more max end and max HP. Makes sense to spend one more slot to get the same benefit as another set, plus other useful bonuses.

For a DM/SR I would put that set in something like Dark Consumption if I could afford to burn the slots. Obliteration and Scirocco's will give better enhancement values, so I'd use Eradication in something I don't plan on using that frequently.

Edit: Now that I think about it, Eradication gives better recharge enhancement than Scirocco's, which makes it better for a power like Dark Consumption, where accuracy and damage don't matter as much.
You make some good points, but I think the reason I completely ignore it for positional defense builds is because of the poor enhancement values. I like Eradication for typed defense builds, but generally only use four pieces for the end, +HP, and N/E Def and use the remaining two slots in the power to frankenslot for good enhancement values.

The other thing is that Oblits offer 5% recharge and 9% Acc, both of which make it the preferred set for PBAoE's because I'm usually seeking a high-recharge attack chain with 95%+ Accuracy (The 3% dam boost is nice, but not a decisive factor for me). It's hard to beat Oblits when it offers so much.

I've also been wanting to revise my dm/sr for high dps. I just made two builds. the first gets 48% def to melee/range while aoe is slightly under. the alternative slotting, which mainly differs in having purple sets, gets an additional 30% recharge, but defenses are 44%.

would the +~4% def or the +30% recharge be more beneficial?

I would MUCH rather have the 30% recharge. 44% is so close to softca that you're still very survivable.

Quick update, Gaidan build in place, Cimerian soled, lv 54s metling like butter, off to run the rest of the av arc and see if I can solo them all. Thanks again Gaidan build is amazing, blew extra cash on the Hamis-O in SL and it works a treat.

Thanks again.

The enhancement values aren't THAT bad. As I mentioned, it has better recharge enhancement than Scirocco's, so it's a better fit for Dark Consumption.

The 1.8 max end and 2.25% max HP are what make it a win in my book for an SR, both of those things are things SR wants. I'm planning on swapping around my slotting on my DM/SR brute for that exact reason (and frankenslotting Gloom with 3 Thunderstrike/3 Devastation)

I don't fight more than +2 uplevel very often, so I'm not particularly pressed about to-hit versus +4s. And I already hit the 5-cap on 5% recharge bonuses elsewhere (one of which is coming from a set of Oblits, 2 Red Fortune, 2 Crushing Impact)

And I'd toss out the Erad (or Obit's for that matter) main drawback is the endred in the sets, something that you really don't need in Dark Consumption.
