Looks good at a glance.
I'd drop Tactics and replace it with Assault in order to unlock Vengeance. The extra tohit from Tactics isn't needed with the amount of def debuff you have. Plus you've got Aim as well. Solo you'll have a constant 73.75% damage buff with Assault, Vigilance and perma-AM. Add Aim when it's up for another 50% and you're sitting at roughly 123.75% damage buff.
I see the Miracle end proc, the performance shifter proc, numina's recov/regen. I still worry about End overall since choking cloud is a bit underslotted for end itself, and you don't have end reduction in tactics as shown, or the proposed assault replacement.
I haven't had a character with all 3 of those end modifiers, but I know choking cloud is an END BEAST and the percentage of endurance use reduced directly in the power is worth considering. The last thing you want is a toggle drop after using EM Pulse. Considering you have power since you should be good at level 41 on -- if you dont' get distracted

HelinCarnate:OMG it is so terrible. I have the option to take 3 more powers but no additional slots. Boo F'ing hoo.

Of course, if you fight anything that commonly debuffs perception or goes all stealthy-like (*cough*Arachnos*cough) Tactics is the better bet for you and your team. IMHO, of course.

I am in agreement Bill. The defender qualities of tactics on teammates' builds is worthy of consideration, too!

It all boils down to preference and playstyle. I respecced out of Tactics a while ago and use a yellow or two for when -perception does become a problem.

I didnt realise CC used up so much end, i can only see one place to borrow a slot and thats from RI, i lose about -1.5%ish target defense with it costing about 0.045% more end. But if i slot a end red in CC instead i use 0.150% less instead. (Have i worked this out right?) And like you say after 41 it will not be a problem anyway. |

I think you slipped a decimal on your endurance calcs, but no matter, choking cloud does use about four times much endurance than radiant infection, so the logic is still there.

On another note what would your recomendations be for when i get to slot my alpha? I guess i can take spiritual out of the equasion as i have no need for the extra recharge as i will already be perma, i was thinking of cardial just purely for the endurance, any thoughts?
I'm using Musculature right now. More dmg, tohit/def debuff, and some end mod later.
Though your build could probably benefit from a Cardiac for the end reduc.
I am thinking like you Silver Tooth, Musculature, some serious defense debuff when you really really need it in incarnate TFs, but again, Cardiac is hard to argue against, too.

As the title suguests this is my first foray into the realm of the defender, he is currently sitting at 16 but he is my new mission to get to 50 asap.
My aim is to get perma hasten and AM as he will be mainly built for teaming and TFing but able to keep his own solo. I have got a build made up with no purples of pvp io's included, but was curious to see if there was any improvements that could be made, thankyou for any help in advance.
