My aim for this build was to maximize recharge while getting ranged and s/l defenses as high as possible. Ageless Destiny will make all of my necessary powers permanent as well as filling in the endurance gap when I don't have Heat Loss active. Given I'm a controller and have 5-6 pets, three of which that are invulnerable with high threat, I don't really see the need for perma-Clarion or capped defenses.
I don't think shields are worthless in the current IO envionment, but I don't really think they're worth slotting. One-slotted they give 14% defense which is enough to cap people who build to softcap with a purple. Throwing the slots into Maneuvers and other powers adds an additional 4% defense to help make up for the lack of slots, but has the benefit of giving me the defense as well. Maneuvers also lets me pick up Tactics; the worst thing ever is watching a Benumb or Flash miss, so that'll help out a bit in that department.
