I know, I know, SS/FA is the best at AoE. But ...

  • Most of SS/FA's AoE is still coming from the secondary
  • SS/FA really needs a purple build with extreme recharge to shine.
  • I'm looking for a more moderate build with less purples.
  • I like a bit more survivability and defense than straight up /FA gives.
  • I don't like SS
  • I love Katana
This leaves me looking at (more or less in this order):
  • Kat/FA for Divine Avalanche, Soft-Cap and Incarnate Cap vs Melee/Lethal, ST KD, and double -res procs in the ST chain
  • WM/FA for KD and Stun
  • FM/FA for straight up damage, but doesn't help defense any.
  • Claws/FA - Good all around performer, and easy on the endurance bar.
  • DB/FA - Second best all around performer, and next easiest on the endurance bar. I think I'd rather have Claws.

Something like the following:
  • With Spiritual T4
  • The last 3 powers are optional.
  • A later build may take slots from Tactics to put in /Mu Ball
  • A later build may put Hami's in Tough/Weave/Maneuvers and put slots into Physical Perfection/Superior Conditioning.
  • If the later build with Pysical Perfection/Superior Conditioning can handle the endurance, then for more recharge I may
    • Flip the Multi-Strikes all over to Oblits
    • Purples in GD
    • Purples for GC.

Edited because I am tired and had a long day at work and forgot that not everyone is going to hack their mids to have Kat on brutes already and even if you did it most likely wouldn't load nicely into my hacked version.
