Appreciate the input. The one thing I dislike is the shield breaker set in suppression, it's such a nice attack I'd really like it slotted for damage. I switched things around a little more again from your suggestions. Overall I gain a little defense (like 2% more melee and aoe capped) with the same recharge, so nice increase. Still a bit over ranged cap, but not sure where I can drop any without going under 45. It's not bad to be a little over anyway because of how common defense debuffs are.
As for incarnates, I'll have to see how things pan out. If my endurance is bad, I'll go cardiac, otherwise I'll probably go spiritual to perma hasten and the other pets.

you think the endurance will be more useful? possible. its only 20 hp and a little bit of regen. probably a good idea.
hey vernichterhelge, i wanted to thank you. you really know your way around a crab. and no matter what tweaking goes on for different preferences, you really started out with a good suggestion, and nice tight build. thanks a lot for the help.
Below is the crab build I'm working on. Incarnate is set for Cardiac Core Paragon for the End management and Range buff. I play at range and want my cone attacks (4 in all) to be as wide as possible (thus more range). IO Sets are trying to emphasize range/AoE defense and recharge. I think this build has a decent balance of both and is respectable. I don't need perma-pets as sometimes I don't even realize they are not there.

My apologies, first time attempting to post a build on forums. I don't know what the export options are I need for the nicely formatted 'import' code.

Turn ON combat jump and weave....apparently I had them shut off during the export. Again, my apologies.
It's been a while since I played (GR but before Incarnate stuff). The free fitness pool is a very nice change so any old builds I had for my crab are pretty much pointless, so I tried making a new one. I don't have anything made yet (I quit playing before I finished leveling the char entirely) so I'm open to pretty much anything. Money wise anything but the expensive purple sets should be fine.
I was trying to get a fair amount of recharge, while still soft capping ranged and getting high melee/aoe numbers (and I end up with nice type defense as well). I'm not sure how critical high melee defense is, but while leveling my crab with 40% ranged defense but only 28% melee defense, I find that I get beat up pretty good still if I can't keep things immob and out of melee. Slotting out immob helped a lot there, so maybe I have overkill on melee defense (if the melee defense is pointless I could swap out the immob set to a purple one for more recharge and free up a slot as well).
One of the biggest problems is that without purples, I end up with so many 6.25% recharge set bonuses, and I ended up taking ruin for some ranged attacks just for the little bit of defense since the recharge from decimation would be wasted. I'm still one over the rule of 5, but I'd rather not drop a positron's set because I like the accuracy bonus and proc. I suppose one option would be looking into using hami's for the spiderlings (since they don't really need the recharge slotting) and saving a slot, but I don't know where I'd put it to good use. Maybe achilles proc in attacks, is it worth it?
For PPP, I went with soul since it has a great single target attack, a fairly nice aoe attack, and from what I understand, the soul pet is the best one.
Would appreciate any thoughts or comments. I know a lot of options in terms of crab builds come down to personal preference, but I'm open to opinions on what you feel works and what doesn't work. Thanks!
