I'm poor. WM/INV

probably my last brute. Can someone help me find a way to soft cap en/neg def on this build without any more kinetic combats or expensive recipes? And by expensive i mean more than 80 mil per recipe.

I did add a set of Kinetic Combat to keep your S/L up after I dropped it with one of my changes. You can get that cheaply using merits - The Acc/Dam costs 50 Reward Merits, which can be quickly earned with a single TF if you pick the right one, the other two doubles cost one Alignment Merit each, and the triple costs 2 A-Merits. Four A-Merits can be earned in a week, or less if you convert Reward Merits. You can also buy the pieces with Astrals or Empyreals, but I don't know the cost.

I changed your two AoEs (Whirling Mace and Crowd Control) to 3 each of Cleaving Blow and Eradication. This gives you 4.38% E/N from each power. I then added Shatter in that empty slot and gave it the same slotting.

I moved the Steadfast out of Unyeilding and into Resist Elements (which was empty), and changed the level 40 Reactive Armor: Resistance in Resist Energies to a level 50 common Resist (It's better enhancement, and cheaper to buy)

I removed one slot from Weave and Invincibility, and put Serendipity in them instead. With the changes I made to your attacks, this puts your E/N defense at 43.6% and adds 1.25% to your F/C. It also frees up two more slots.

I took the three left over slots and added them to your single-target attacks. Kinetic Combat doesn't have the best enhancement values in it, so add a Mako triple or quad - whichever you prefer.

Here's the data chunk:

Thanks I'll def check out the build. I think the 5th slot makos is a good call, because it caps my damage in attacks so I can take cardaic core instead.

Use A-Merits. Cheapest way to build anything atm.
