What powers are must-haves?
Which ones are skippable?
Thanks!

Shield - everything, except Grant Cover and One with the Shield. I would personally take everything ; many argue against OwtS. Some argue against GC (but it is often disputed, as GC is essential to having high DDR).

BS - Hack, Headsplitter, Disembowel are must haves. Parry, Slash, Slice, Build up are very nice. Whirling Sword is to taste, and Confront is, well, Confront.

Grant Cover is also useful for the 30% - recharge resistance.

I wouldn't skip Grant Cover, but I'd definitely get it later.

I like OwtS, as it can probably get you hp cap if your slotted/accoladed for it, as well as buffs resist on a mostly def set. I enjoy the heck out of it. GC and AD (with hami) will get the DDR up into 85-90% which is awesome. I usually skip slash and confront and parry, although Im working on a new build with parry to help in new trials to get over the 59% melee for trials, but we'll see.

One with the Shield is even better if you have Conserve Power in your build. You practically get the +Resist, +HP, and +Recovery for free!

I've been trying this on my brute and it's not happening. Maybe possible on a scrapper with the lower cap, but with accolades, slotting TG for +hp, alpha secondary bonuses from spiritual, and slotting OwtS for +hp I was still hovering below 2800-2900 or so.

That said, I like having the extra "Oh ****" button that OwtS provides.
