alpha slot help on my build.
Read about the Alpha Slot on Paragon Wiki to see the math behind it. Basically, as you go higher up the tree, you gain more bonus that bypasses the effects of enhancement diminishing returns. As long as the power reaches or comes close to the ED cap--like in the case of Hasten in your build--it will gain more benefit from higher tiers of the Alpha boost.
You can try out different Alpha boosts, but the Spiritual will likely be the best for your build.
The long forum export takes up an excessive amount of space on the page. The data link and data chunk are all that most people use to look at builds because that is what Mids' uses. The power and enhancement list is annoying to scroll past. Some people like to look at the forums from work, but if you can't see the numbers from Mids', the best you can do is tell someone how to slot individual powers.
I'd say try to get to at least your T3 so you get the level shift and casually work toward T4. If this a toon that you enjoy playing, you'll probably end up getting the components or shards anyway just by playing. With the T4 hasten is just shy of perma, I think that's worth working for.
As for the build, it looks pretty solid but I don't have much experience with DM so I'm a bit concerned about your end use. As you said though, you are working on the PvP IO and that would let you drop Maneuvers altogether.
I think you are on the right track, just keep plugging away at it

i actually have enough stuff to make the tier 3, what wasnt clear to me on wiki tho was if i have spiritual radial boost, can i pick any of the 4 T3 or do i have to stay on that branch until i can got for the tier 4?
as far as end use, i really dont have any problems with it, as a matter of fact i usually just end up using Dark Consumption as a regular aoe if i get surrounded(usually in carnie tip missions(and i very rarely get hit by their end drain at their death))
Oh I see what you mean. I'm at work atm so I can't confirm this but I'm fairly certain that is you have the Radial, you will be confined to the 2 Radial T3 options. However to go from T3 to T4 you can use any 2 T3s. Hope that helps.
Spiritual Core offers Recharge at 45%, + Stun and Healing by 33%.
Spiritual Radial offers Recharge, Healing, Slow and Jump by 33% + To Hit Buff by 20%.
The Core is probably the best choice for you, in my own opinion. Yours and others may(will) vary.
ok, listed below is my currant setup in game, i have the spiritual boost alpha so far, but what im wondering is how far up should i go on that tree? do i just want to go to spiritual core paragon for the 45% recharge of should i go for one of the others. my old brain just cant seem to grasp some of the numbers for some reason lol
also, is there any place that i might be able to improve upon? working on getting the pvp io, but that will still be a while.
thanks in advance.
