My first Defender build - I get the feeling I messed this up... somehow.
First off, this build is going to cost more then 1B. You would be lucky if you brought it under 3 B.
Radiant Aura- you could save yourself a slot here, since six only gets you a crappy 1.26 toxic and psionic resistance set bonus. I would toss the recharge, since without it you're at 2.253 (with it, its 2.112 recharge times).
Maneuvers - Why not just go for a set of 3 LotG IOs?
Tough- Impervious Skin:Status Resistance, you really need more then one to make it worth it.
Assault - Go Leadership instead, you're team will love you for it.
As for your 47, and 49 power... maybe Focused Accuracy, and Summon Disruptor.
A ok build mostly, I might use a diff IO instead of those normal crafted Defense Buffs. Don't even got to be more LotG, just a few def/end from dif sets.

Don't you know that discussion of power selection/slotting can ONLY be based on hearsay, rumor, idle speculation, and bald-faced lies??!? ~Elf_Sniper
Going to throw up the build I'm planning on using. Has a bit higher recharge and softcapped S/L/E. I've made some different power selections than you, but you can use it to get a general idea. I would definitely go with Spiritual Alpha with this build.

Hey folks,
So I built my first Defender EVER today and this is my build I intend to go through with. Yeah, it's a might bit expensive, but what build isn't? I think it pays off, but the problem is, while it LOOKS really nice, I have no idea how to build the sets or archetype I built into so I've probably overlooked some major flaws in my build. Can you guys lend me a hand? My aim is the occasional arena or zone PvP but primarily I want to be a valuable asset to teams, and to be able to solo AVs (Maybe GMs, too. I hear Rad can be built to do that?) or at least dent them pretty bad. I understand if PvP is not viable on this build, though. It's not a deal breaker.
My biggest concerns are:
Endurance issues before I get to 50 and IO'd out.
What Incarnate route to go. D;
Costliness of the build (not a huge deal, as time literally IS money and I have nearly a billion inf on me right at this very moment).
I'm not softcapped to Energy, which could be problematic in certain situations.
My defense debuff resistance is nonexistent; if my defense gets debuffed by a heavy-hitting or multiple debuffs, I'm probably going to die.
Uncertainty of what to do with my 47/49 power slots (maybe Vengeance or something...)
The build does tote:
S/L softcap, nearly softcapped Energy.
Over 1/4 HP healing every 2 seconds.
Perma-Hasten.
Perma-AM.
Perma-LR.
20-second downtime on Amplify (with duration factored in).
+50% damage before Amplify.
Solid endgame recovery levels.
Thanks in advance for any help you provide!
