by the way, I already have all the expensive sets listed in the build. Not that expensive sets mean anything, but...yeah.

Here's a few random things...
In Fortitude, I'd look to use another membrane or perhaps a Def/Rch (LOTG if you want the regen bonus) over one of the Recharge IOs.
12 points of -kb is a lot for a Defender. I'm content with 4, personally, but I'm fine with rarely getting kbd. If you want to never be kbd, then you'd want more.
The EndMod/Acc in Rec Aura is odd. There's nothing to hit with it. If you use the same slotting as in Adrenaline Boost (2 basic Recharge + 1 EndMod/Rch) you'd get basically the same recharge and free up a slot.
I like putting stealth IOs into Sprint, rather than SS, freeing up another slot.
I prefer to slot Shocking Bolt as a hold. Using the 2 free slots from above you should be able to 4-slot it with Basilisk Gaze for another 7.5%. To be honest though, recharge is already so high, more recharge will provide a trivial return. Still, the accuracy is quite low for this and final to-hit against a +3 is 85%.
One final consideration - I personally would go for Leadership over Fighting. Slotted Maneuvers will get you 5% Defense. Your slotting for Weave gives you 7%. This is a low defense build, so that 2% isn't going to be a big difference maker for you. Then I'd go with Tactics over Tough and keep the 5% recharge bonus with Adjusted Targeting.
What the heck, I went ahead and made the revisions. I put the Heca set in Brawl and changed the snipe, only because you mentioned you already, not that I think it's preferable.
Code:
This gets you a little more recharge (such that Hasten is now perma instead of near perma) and a decent boost to ally defense (27% vs 20%).| Copy & Paste this data into Mids' Hero Designer to view the build | |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |MxDz;1374;681;1362;HEX;| |78DA6594DB6E12511486F70095420F4029859EB1A52DC7116C3DD518636D4D8CA53| |66ABC527184A14C4281C034B177BE80575E78A8D6363E8287F8169E2EF50D8C871B| |2FBCC235EBDF2D182661BED9FFFEF75A6BAF3D43F6FE72AF100FCE0BA5FF62596B3| |472CB7A51AF14F47A7776CBD44CA35AE90ED3B569544CA7102270309D5BDA2A16D5| |95CD9A6696B68387EA35ADB2A117D40BF57C49AF6FFB2E57087AC5540F1EDCEBD56| |A59BD5ED3F5420F3F5E2A1B1B25D3C3CFABBA46311A25A336C0E31B7A59AF55EB28| |23B45233F2EA4A59CF9B75236F98DBB9ACD630294988CA9AA1DF2D9B9057D321C6E| |C4264846D1C98603826813063A7DD9EB459D29114A032BA33409A719BEE8AB42BEB| |8A25B9AF025718BD6B40967187EC7669B7C3DE0F7B3F7C5EACF2C29E237B17ECA22| |B212C698ADAEDE48C4D9B13D2C07FD8A5352E99C2F5983027069F004F1943CF801D| |C65DB2F7C8143D88A091D407C9DE0729E4E37A428B3472081109F0D045B578508BE| |2F1B23486191FCDF83063F761660221A6FD8C247C33E4F3CBECFE513E803DCA1E90| |F507E6B9C9E1E3C002E3E809E024E31EDD83B0DB828F589A46CD1279D28665BC61B| |47C044D1E5945C9E87504E7304D158DCA3D8D7EE378135F19FB741F9781C63F70EC| |B98FC027E03323F6855120FBA42C6CF22136808A22809F324D2193636A970DB32F8| |13D466C9F917CC51874E27DB65A3583EE591351485DD1D71C347E8ACDF1B718BD63| |24DF33526F18CFA9CD09B98FC469B6A7CE308E2D026781738C176457E50BA70E295| |60F322120C8F84E7F1469C453D27F784DE62F63CCD1F62DCDA2977338BC28361A43| |FA0463D5B22313BDC22CAD3B0E3F2FA134E9126B2D53D3E53DFC9A9A3FDC24CBC54| |A8A37FAB35D8AB2F4AB5DBAC94DFCDD9214258C1304D2ADF2AD0C943CDEA1643A94| |850E65BE43F9079C37D0F0| |-------------------------------------------------------------------|
Anyway, that's all "food for thought". Your build accomplishes your goals and 2 things I'd strongly urge retooling is the end/acc in RecAura and getting more accuracy in Shocking Bolt.
Global = Hedgefund (or some derivation thereof)
I'm assuming Spiritual Core Paragon is the goal here? The recharge and healing bonuses would go well with a build like this. You can switch up the slotting in your heals to take advantage of Spiritual Core Paragon. For Doctored Wounds sets, choose everything except the Heal/Recharge and you'll still end up with maximized Healing & Recharge. Plus, the Endurance cost will be much lower.
Endurance could be a concern, so slot Health with the Miracle +Recovery IO. Slot Stamina with a Performance Shifter proc or Common EndMod IO. Change the slotting in Recovery Aura to Common EndMod + two Common Recharge and you cut downtime to ~35 seconds.
To keep your main attack coming up faster, you might want to replace the Ragnarok proc with a Common Recharge IO. That would drop it to 15.58s recharge, which is great.
I'd be tempted to replace Explosive Arrow with Fistful of Arrows. It'll recharge twice as quickly and does the same damage. It's a cone, sure, but the more AOEs, the better. Alternately, replace Ranged Shot with Fistful of Arrows and slot with 5pcs of Decimation. You wouldn't lose much recharge over the Sting of the Manticore set and you'd gain a nice AOE combo.
Slot Clear Mind with a Common Endurance IO, instead of the Recharge. The Recharge only buys you another 0.14s, while the Endurance saves you 1.54e (42.4%).
Charged Armor is much better than Tough. Consider switching the slotting for the two. Speaking of Tough, the Fighting pool really does seem like an afterthought. Dropping it for the Leadership pool would be very nice. I would want Manuevers, Assault and Vengeance, though you could swap in Tactics for any if you really wanted it.
Drop Shocking Bolt for Aim. 50% more damage is nothing to turn away. With two Common Recahrge IOs, it'll pop every 22 seconds, leaving about 13.4s of downtime. That's a 50% damage bump that'll be active just over 42% of the time. It'll avoid redraw, too.
hello all, been working on yet another incarnation of the emp. This time, trying to put in as much recharge as I can. Here's what I came up with:
