...Stupid Psi defense... Oh well. 20% is still more than what most people get!

You can actually get to 30-40% Psi Defense, but it forces sacrifices elsewhere. I'd actually sacrifice Fire/Cold/Negative for it, due to its prevalence on iTrials along with accompanying debuffs.
I'm looking at it with Spiritual Core Paragon, the +rech proc toggled, and all of that recharge slotting and it's kind of amazing. If it were possible to keep that +rech proc up all the time, this is insane. Not a realistic scenario, but still fun to look at. 3.4s recharge Spinning Strike. 5 Second CU. Perma Energize. 12 second recharge on energy drain!
Nice but I think this is more riding on the power of EA being strong at the moment.
Ea now is definatly sweet.
Boycott Ncsoft if they close down Coh.
Can't say I've played street justice enough yet to make a determination about the set as a whole, but so far the cone size of sweeping blow is pretty terrible. There alsoseems to be something wrong with spinning strike. The radius and the fact that it's classed as a taoe seem wrong.

I don't think so. I had a StJ/EA Brute on Test that ran through First Ward and then a bunch of the EBs solo in the 40s, and he did great. And keep in mind this isn't without a whole lot of set bonuses, as it wasn't worth bothering with them. StJ is a solid set.|

Spinning Strike is supposed to be a targeted AOE. That is WAI. It is located on the mob you target, so it hits anything around it, rather than you. It makes sense when you see the animation and the effects it is supposed to cause... also a nice difference from a more traditional PbAOE, at least in my mind.

I think the single worst thing about StJ is that spinning strike doesnt take PBAoE sets. But yes, spinning strike actually works exactly the same as thunder strike in elec melee. This, unfortunately, makes strike a rather lackluster AoE.
You can actually tell by their power icon. PBAoE attacks have a complete and smooth ring around them but a TAoE has a broken up ring. Kind of suprised by how many people, myself included, dont notice that.

I know there's a lot of hubbub right now about how Stj just might be a poor set, but I've put together a planed build which I believe would be pretty strong. Or strong and pretty. Who knows?
Anyway, this assumes you are surrounded by enemies to fuel Entropic Aura.
Mid's Totals:
193.75% recharge
+6% ToHit
+46% Accuracy
31.9% Res to S/L
51.9% Defense Debuff protection
Perma-Hasten
Almost perma-Energize
Defense softcap to all damage types (besides Psi) and way over the softcap to Energy without using Energy Drain. This means on incarnate content you can be near the "incarnate" softcap pretty easily by popping off E.drain.
You got a really fast combo builder in Heavy, Rib and Shin and the luxury of popping off Spinning Strike every 5 seconds and Crushing Uppercut about every 6.5s. That doesn't factor in the +rech proc in Spinning Strike.
This build doesn't include incarnate powers, but depending on what path you take you can build for even more recharge, more endurance or more defense. Either way it'll clear up slots to play around a bit more. If you're feeling a little weighed down by your influence you can always drop a Glad. 3% in it to get you even close to the incarnate softcap.
Anyway, here's the build.
