Only thing I can think of is to swap out Glinting Eye for Gleaming BOlt. Bolt is faster, and if you decide to proc it up, it gets fairly nasty too.

I was debating that, too. I just know from experience that those two powers do not get tons and tons of use when I am in human form now, and when I do use them, I'd rather a more solid punch of damage (which Eye has over Bolt). I probably am only going to stick with the Achilles in there, rather than throwing more procs into it, too. I was debating whether the Kismet is needed on a PB with -def in all the powers just about, but it is nice for that first hit against all those +3s in the trials.

Would there be any benefit to swapping Glowing Touch for Assault? Also, would there be a benefit to one of those +Perception IOs in Build Up?
Ideally, the tank will die precisely as everyone else starts fighting, allowing aggro to be spread evenly among the blaster. -seebs, "How to Suck at CoH/CoV" Guide

Debating the +perception... we'll see how much it would cost me on the market (it fluctuates, from when I have seen it).|

Maneuvers might be of more use than assault, actually. I think you can bump up the damage caps with your teammates pretty easily, but Cosmic Balance doesn't boost defense. I might worry about the end usage with any leadership toggles, though.
There is something fun about healing teammates, though, even if it's one little power. At least the range is being boosted with the next patch.

The +perception IO helps quite a bit against Night Widows and Banes.
Also, I'd consider slotting a stealth IO in Superspeed instead of something else. The IO's stealth will stack with Superspeed's inherent stealth when moving, so you can zoom into a mob and get off a Pulsar or Dawn Strike easily.
Anyone know what the duration is on the Rectified Reticle proc when it is in a click power? Does it have the 120 second rule? I can't find documentation on the length in Mid's or the Wiki. Kind of curious how that works, even though I do have it slotted on some character already.
I may work on the stealth IO (I have it on my triform build)... that's yet another cost, though maybe higher level ones are cheaper than the earlier ones: I'm not keen on buying one with merits, since I have to get so many Kinetic Melees on this build and a Claws Scrapper I'm working on currently.
Thanks for the feedback, all. I'll be slowly getting stuff for this build, I think, so if anyone has more to add, feel free.

It's a permanent boost, which is why you don't see any duration listed. I have it slotted in build up, and it's active all the time.
Holy carp, how did I ever notice this? I figured it needed to be slotted in a toggle to always be on, like most of these special IOs. Crazy. I may slot that on more characters, now!
Well, if I had the room.

I've been running with my Peacebringer as a Tri-form, but I have been enjoying him in Human only as well (he's also going for Clarion for his incarnate power there). The Tri-form build is okay if you want to be in human (lot's of recharge), but it doesn't have any defense at all.
So I thought it might be nice to make a level 50ish build that leverages some defense and meshes with my Spiritual alpha and other future incarnate choices. Here's what I have come up with: about 29% defense to S/L, 25% to melee, 22% to Energy/Negative, and about 50% resists for S/L and Energy/Negative, as well as 56% global recharge, as well as Hasten.
Anyone see any big things I could fix up? I'm not super rich, but I think I could spring for the Stun Purple set, hence it being in my build. I don't think I could afford the ranged set, or one of the ranged attacks would get that one.
Let me know if you see anything that could use some adjusting, however.
