Any advice you guys can give me would be greatly appreciated. I'll unlock Soul Mastery tonight, and I'd like to be confident in what I'm respeccing to.
I've made some changes making you much more endurance efficient. You had manuevers, weave, hover and siphon life woefully underslotted for endurance which I believe would have made your life a nightmare. I also managed to drop CJ and pick up hasten which still gets you to the defense softcap and hasten even one slotted will bring everything back up quicker. I take it you wanted hover/flight, so I kept that. I'm not so sure I like your picks for the epic set and I'm not sure you'd benefit more from grant cover for DDR and OwtS for fun, but I left that as is for you.
Hope this gives you a couple ideas.

Thanks very much for the help! I'm glad you were able to improve my endurance consumption, I was a bit worried about it.
What powers would you choose from the Soul Mastery pool? I'm not married to Dark Blast, Shadow Meld, and Soul Storm, I just thought those would be the best three (though I'm unsure of whether I really need Shadow Meld, except against massive defense debuffs or other unusual circumstances).
I don't want OwtS (crashes make me RAGE!), but I don't mind taking Grant Cover if I'd be able to fit it in. I'm ecstatic you managed to fit in Hasten. I wanted Hasten, but couldn't find a place for it before.
I'll look at the build in Mid's now.
I'm fiddling around with the slotting in Siphon Life at the moment to further enhance the heal - it's more useful to me as a source of self-healing than as DPS.
The Gaussian's set is awesome - I never noticed the sweet defense bonus at six slots before. Great that you pointed it out to me.
I also replaced several "Def/End/Rech" LotG enhancements with the global +Recharge LotG one, and still managed to stay at the softcap (in fact, my total defense went up about a half percent). Especially now that I have Hasten, I'm aiming for a recharge-intensive build so I can minimize the recharge time on Soul Drain and Shield Charge (and to a lesser extent, Siphon Life). I think I'll be going down the Spiritual alpha tree as well. The Endurance issues will be exacerbated somewhat because of this, but I don't think it will become a problem (and if it does, the extra Recharge will help with Dark Consumption too).
I really wish I could three-slot (or at least two-slot) Hasten for recharge. Not sure whether it's worth moving the slot from Soul Storm down to Hasten for that reason.
Hello everyone! I've been working on a build for my Dark/Shield scrapper for the last week or so, and I'd really appreciate some help fine-tuning it, as well as some advice for which Alpha slot Boost I should go for. At the moment, I'm planning on the Spiritual tree, to minimize the recharge time on Soul Drain, Shield Charge, and Siphon Life, primarily.
I'd like to make her softcapped to all positions (which I've done in the below build) as my primary objective, and focus on a sustainable, high-damage attack chain secondly. I also want a good amount of accuracy... my current build is overflowing with Acc, including Focused Accuracy and Nerve Boost, and I don't want to start missing every other attack as soon as I respec.
I already own almost all of the IOs in the build, except for the Aegis, the various LotG sets, and the Apocalypse set in Dark Blast.
I don't think I can afford many more purples or PvP IOs, but if there's any of those you feel would be essential to my build, feel free to say so.
Thank you very much in advance for any assistance you can give. This is the first build I've designed myself, and I'm sure I haven't gotten everything done perfectly.
