My main confusion is why you have Fitness taking up power slots..?
Seven years of heroism. Seven years of friendships. Seven years of saving the world. Seven years of virtuous selflessness.
You will return, for you are the mighty City of Paragon, the City of Heroes.
Fitness is needed for Stamina is it not?

If you posted a datachunk I could have looked at it in Mids. As it is, I can say to lose the Entropics. The heal proc is a joke and decimation is only a little more expensive.
I personally don't slot Buildup or Aim with anything but two common recharges. As for perception, if you have tactics, and you really want more, chuck the rectified reticule unique in either buildup or aim. Nothing wrong with putting the Adjusted Targeting, but if you're really building for recharge, you need to take stealth or some other pool, to get your five defense powers and get a LotG +7.5 in each.
The snipe should have Manticore in it. Gives you 7.5% rech and they're cheap as dirt and are good.
You can chuck a Basilisk in Cryo Freeze Ray, which you don't have, for another 7.5% rech. The ones in the teens are super cheap and might just be sitting in your SG's bins, unwanted. I have two sets of junk Basilisks in my Char and Freezing Touch on my fire/ice/fire blaster, giving me 15%.
My ideas on getting rech. AoE and Single targets with 6.5%, you need at least five (unless you have pets, the change accordingly). Need five defense powers, even if it makes no sense. But, really, as a blaster, hover and CJ take care of two of those. And slot those with LotG. If they're too expensive, do them with merits or hmerits. Take any hold or snipe for the 7.5 from basilisk/manticore.
Even before Spiritual Boost, my fire/ice/fire was only 1.6 seconds short of permahasten.
I look forward to seeing your datachunk, or being at home where the link isn't blocked. I have a energy^2 that I don't play but really like. I'm just not good at managing the kb and feel I'm offensive to melee people on my team.
Edit: Re: Status protection, eh, keep some break frees on hand. There is nothing but the Winter's gift slow and the -kbs. Besides, if you've gotten aggro already, if you can't get away/phase shift (Warburg, not power) you're faceplanting.
Ughh, im going to have to totally re do this, what a mess lol..

Note: One thing you need to think about if you're at or near fifty is that you can go with Spiritual Boost etc. It's not global in the bonus sense of the word. It modifies each power that can take an enhancement of that kind, and Spiritual is about recharge primarily. So keeping the rech on your powers themselves lower than 66% will keep you from going over the ED softcap. That said, the incarnate stuff can push past that stuff some.

Ok, i just plugged in your build and all i can say is WOW! Those 2 luck of the gambs saved me an entire row of other enhancements and did more.
The problem is you have more than 5 sets of Global recharge, you have 5 alone just from the luck of gambler and then you got some from decimate, sniper blast, positron, etc..
Isnt this overkill?
Also, i do not need hover to select fly but was that to get the haste cap? Does that luck of the gambler go over the 5 set bonus cap for one ability or is there something im missing because when i quit playing coh 7 months ago you could only have bonues of one thing 5x, youve got like near 10 set bonuses of global recharge???
Quote:
You can have as many global recharges as you want, but if any with the same description have more than five then those over five don't count. So, Decimation and Positron, both have the 6.25 with the same description, so they stop having the rech bonus after five. The hold and snipe, both with 7.5 and the same description, don't have the same description as the LotG 7.5.|

Once you get permahasten, you can add the 70% it gives to the mix permanently, in addition to all other bonuses you have.
There is no overkill on recharge, especially not on a blaster. Once animation times is your sole irritation, then you've reached blaster nirvana.
Mids takes care of any breaking of the law of fives. The numbers on these are right. It's not the cheapest build with those Basilisks and the LotGs, but it's cheap by some standards.

Nitpick: Inherent fitness actually comes in at level 2. I don't know what that adds to the gameplay experience vs having it at 1.

Ok, im playing and enjoying my energy/energy blaster but ive totally botched up my set bonuses, got a few 50s and can farm cash if i need too and was figuring on a budget of around 300mil for this toon.
My objectives? Global Recharge, Global Acc, Global damage, End recovery and hopefully i can survive somehow thru it. Ive got very little to stop status effects but perhaps someone could help?
What i tried to do other than rech/acc in this build was lessen the effects of Nova sucking all my end by adding a few things that lessen the burden like an end free shield in munitions and conserve power, and a few set bonuses with end recovery.
Its hard to fit everything i want in one build being Damage/Acc/End/Recovery and hopefully a little status protection somewhere.
Any ideas or new build suggestions would be Gladly appreciated! Heres the build..
