WM/SD help?

I am looking at trying the WM/SD combination. After thumbing through the boards for a bit, I haven't seen what I am looking for.

Anyone feeling generous on posting a build? Unless it would "gimp" me, I am looking to run Hasten, Tough, and CJ as my pool powers and Energy Mastery for Physical Perfection.

I don't have unlimited funds, in fact, I have yet to get a character to 50. Basically I am looking to try to come close to soft-capping defense and have reasonable resistances.

I am interested in a leveling build and a end-game build as well (minus all the purples and stuff I can't afford...)

Thanks for any info.

Wow, I never played a WM before. The endurance usage is insane!

I put together this WM/SD build. It's a pretty standard build with no purples. Wasn't sure if you wanted Super Jump so I added it in. I would replace it with Grant Cover and just use Ninja Run as my travel power.

I estimate this build to cost 1.8 billion. Do a lot of TF's along your way to 50 to gain merits to trade for the expensive IOs (LotG 7.5, Numi and Miracle). That would cut the cost of this build to about half.

The link below leads to a relatively old thread I started, asking for a cheap build for my WM/SD Brute. Twilight Snow posted a nice build - in fact, I've never upgraded to anything more expensive. The best part was that, with some patience, I was able to slot most of it as I leveled up. Getting your attacks slotted with your set IOs drastically reduces your endurance usage. Physical Perfection and Superior Conditioning helped round out the rough edges enough that I went Spiritual (recharge) for my Alpha slot on my WM/Shield. Anyway, enjoy the link. Hopefully you find some good tips there.
