It looks very good.
I don't know what attack chain you plan to run, but I end up using Haymaker more than Punch in mine - I suspect you will want to as well regardless of the chain you use.
So I would switch the slotting of Haymaker and Punch to get the most out of the hecatomb proc.
At which point I would just 4 slot Punch with Kinetic Combat, and use the other two slots somewhere else.
With 1 slot you could add Miracle Heal to Health for a little bit of regen +the end recovery you lose from dropping the gladiator strike pieces.
The other slot you could add the Shield Wall unique, or you could swap the Stead Fast 3% to Unstoppable, Put the 3% Glad unique in Resist Physical Damage and then add the Gladiators Armor: Resistance to Resist Physical Damage to pick up another recovery bonus.
Just a few ideas, otherwise it looks very good.
Get yourself the Cardiac Core Paragon and Accolades if you don't already have them.
I would say, soft cap all 3 type sets, or just Smashing/Lethal and Energy/Negative. There is a lot of Energy getting tossed around now-a-days. You can easily do that, by using reactive armors instead of the Aegis sets. I doubt you would ever use Laser Beam Eyes, and if you wanted a ranged power, grab hurl. It's better and does a -fly. No reason to grab unstop, can put that IO somewhere else. I would also advise grabbing taunt.
Your character does not have capped defense. Depending on your AT the cap is between 175% - 225%. Your defense is not teal in the combat window, it can go higher. STOP SAYING IT IS CAPPED! The correct term is Soft Cap.
I enjoy playing in Mids. I specialize in Melee Characters, other AT's usually bore me.
Deus - thanks and great advice

Pine: I will look into tweaking the sets, but I drop fire/cold if use reactive armor instead. At least this way I can drop a purple and take care of both sets.|

Hurl - I thought I read before that hurl had issues, so I did not even look at it for a power. Mids makes it look much better overall. I am about to work on a name change and costum, so I will go with either that fits my new toon's concept.
Taunt would be nice, but there is nothing I see that I want to get rid of.
Unstop: I see some build leave it out, while others keep it. Other than being and end drain, why would it be a dropped power?
thanks folks!
Unstoppable costs very little Endurance to activate, but when it wears off you are left exhausted, and drained of almost all Health and Endurance.Its definitely skippable, unless you know for certain that the fight will be over before you crash.
Self -90% Hit Points, -100% Endurance (after 3 min delay)
Thanks for the advice... I took away unstop. I was mostly using it for a slot holder anyways.
Here is an updated version of my build. I have equipped most of the slots, but really need to work on some of the purples. The second tier cardiac truly makes a difference.
I did switch over to hurl, but I'm not sold on it as a power and I might go back to laser eyes. Anyways, any ideas on improvement opportunities would be appreciated.
thanks in advance!

The reason I prefer LBE over Hurl is that Hurl doesn't work when flying.
So, in a flight situation, you're deprived of not one, but TWO of your heavy hitters.
I fight the tradeoff for the faster charging but lower damage LBE is a worthwhile one.
Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.
Ok, its about time I work diligently on my SS/Inv. I just slotted the first cardiac boost, which should help with my number one frustration of this build. I dont care how much the build costs, because I like having goals. Here is what I have so far, but would love to have some feedback on it.
Thanks in advance!
