If you're going cheap, just be sure to have at least 40% Rech, Rec isn't an issue, at least 2 SOs worth of travel in SJ and *at least* 1 SO worth of travel in SS. You want 41 KB Prot and at least 1520ish HP. If you can work in heal bonus, that's not a bad idea, and cheap with Doct Wounds.

if you dont want to use the Lotg's, and your global recharge is low, just slap a second recharge in phase and maybe more recharge in yer heals.
yeah dont worry about having a perfect build. your technique (practice) is moar important :P
perma jump is ---> /up 1
I can buy (with merits, reward merits or influence) anything that isn't purple, so that's kind of my limit right now. LotG 7.5s are fine.
