The two main problems I see with this build are end reduction and all the slots you're spending using Boxing and Brawl as mules.
Are you planning to use Boxing and Brawl as part of your attack chain? If not, there's absolutely no reason to five-slot them. Get the four lowest level, cheapest KC IOs you can find and skip the fifth slot.
In addition, Siphon Life is a Superior damage attack and should be slotted primarily as an attack and not a heal. Move the KC set you have slotted in Brawl to Siphon Life and add another couple of slots for accuracy and heal. You can try the ToE +End, but I don't know how helpful it will be in a ST attack. (It's very desirable in Dark Regen because it has a lot more chances to hit.)
While many of your attacks are underslotted for end reduction, your FA toggles and Tough are overslotted for it. Drop the Reactive Armor End IO and replace it with the Res/Rchg. (Static Shield has both the RA End and End/Rchg, which I really don't understand. You don't need either.)
The attacks slotted with Erad are very underslotted for end reduction and damage, which is particularly a problem in Lightning Field. Shadow Maul, Soul Drain and Lightning Field should have a least 5 slots each. Dark Consumption is okay as is since it has a very low endurance cost. You can do four Erad and one Multi-Strike in Soul Drain and Shadow Maul, but I'd use three Erad and two Scirocco's in Lightning Field since it needs more end reduction. Also, drop the Acc/Rchg for a Dam/Rchg.
Another option for Soul Drain is to two-slot it with Retified Reticle for the S/L defense bonus. With three Erad, one Multi Strike and the two RR it'll be a little underslotted for damage, but the trade-off might be worth it.
Since you've got Power Sink already, I think you should consider dropping Dark Consumption for Midnight Grasp. That way, you could move the KC set in Boxing to MG, free up some slots, and still stay soft-capped to S/L.
If you can find another slot for Char, try two Basilisk's Gaze and three Thunderstrike, which will give you a little more E/NE def.
One last thing you might want to consider is to move something else to 49 so you can take Fireball at 47. This will allow you to add a fifth slot of PB in Fireball for the recharge bonus. You don't need the fourth slot in Fire Blast for the E/NE def bonus, so that might be the place to take it from if you don't mind giving up some damage there.

Are you planning to use Boxing and Brawl as part of your attack chain? If not, there's absolutely no reason to five-slot them. Get the four lowest level, cheapest KC IOs you can find and skip the fifth slot. In addition, Siphon Life is a Superior damage attack and should be slotted primarily as an attack and not a heal. Move the KC set you have slotted in Brawl to Siphon Life and add another couple of slots for accuracy and heal. You can try the ToE +End, but I don't know how helpful it will be in a ST attack.

The attacks slotted with Erad are very underslotted for end reduction and damage, which is particularly a problem in Lightning Field. Shadow Maul, Soul Drain and Lightning Field should have a least 5 slots each. Dark Consumption is okay as is since it has a very low endurance cost. You can do four Erad and one Multi-Strike in Soul Drain and Shadow Maul, but I'd use three Erad and two Scirocco's in Lightning Field since it needs more end reduction. Also, drop the Acc/Rchg for a Dam/Rchg. Another option for Soul Drain is to two-slot it with Retified Reticle for the S/L defense bonus. With three Erad, one Multi Strike and the two RR it'll be a little underslotted for damage, but the trade-off might be worth it. Since you've got Power Sink already, I think you should consider dropping Dark Consumption for Midnight Grasp. That way, you could move the KC set in Boxing to MG, free up some slots, and still stay soft-capped to S/L. If you can find another slot for Char, try two Basilisk's Gaze and three Thunderstrike, which will give you a little more E/NE def. One last thing you might want to consider is to move something else to 49 so you can take Fireball at 47. This will allow you to add a fifth slot of PB in Fireball for the recharge bonus. You don't need the fourth slot in Fire Blast for the E/NE def bonus, so that might be the place to take it from if you don't mind giving up some damage there. |
I do not think I have seen this combo but on me. I have a few and decided to make a build for it.
