How the heck did the build I posted end up looking like that?...

I guess this is what happens when you just post a build instead of guiding someone through the slotting.

You'll need a bit more in stamina too imo [.6 end recov net doesn't leave you alot to attack with]
Also the hami-o you have slotted in maneuvers is for def debuffs so isn't doing squat for you.
The miracle proc is better in health so the +recov is constant rather than just when to hit your heal
I'd Counter-argue that by saying its the best of a bad situation. I find the alternative to be switching to Impervium armor for the 2.5% recovery.

But then again, I could then delegate those slots to more in stamina.

The hami slotted in Maneuvers does say defense DEBUFFS, but for some reason, according to Mids', It provides more Defense BUFFS than the LotG Defense IO. Odd. Thoughts?

And I concede, the miracle switch to Health, and Numina to Healing Flames is a better move. Thanks.

I know! I can't figure this one out.

The thing about gaussian's in feint is, if you really want the CFBU effect in the power, feel free to throw that into the fifth or six slot. That's really the only good thing about the set compared to the alternatives. If you put hecatombs in there you get radically better recharge, plus the global bonus, or if you put kinetic combats in it you get much more of the kind of defense that, with fire armor, you most want. Either way it does like 70% more damage than it would with GSFC in it.

I will also say that while you should try it yourself to see how you feel about it, the CFBU is really not very good even in blinding feint, which is basically the best possible place to put it. With a five percent chance to fire and a duration of five and a half seconds, the buff over time is not insubstantial but I would argue probably not worth a slot. I realize that that slotting gives it more chances to fire than putting it in something like tactics, but of the two I'd still put it in tactics because then you do get the defense bonus out of it but without the cost of sacrificing slots on a key attack, and it still activates a couple times per mission while in combat.

So yeah, in short it isn't that you're wrecking your build with GSFC in BF or anything, and with global acc bonuses you're probably still fine for hitting stuff, but I can pretty much guarantee that increasing BF's damage will have a larger impact than the proc by five to ten times, especially since you can still put the set somewhere else if you do want it.
