Actually this is not true. Last time I tried to softcap SR with SO's alone it required weave, combat jump and maneuvre all at least 3 slotted with defense including all SR power being 3 slotted with defense SO's it makes a total of 27 slots put on nothing but defense no other bonuses. This makes around 1/4th of actual slots. This also means although you can fit LoTG's in the build somewhere you can't get recharge bonuses from red fortunes. |

With IO sets on the other hand you can remove either maneuvre or CJ (depending on your play style) from your build (admitedly on defense powers alone there was 31 slots on my old build but they had 5 LoTG recharge and 4 red fortunes to get %5 recharges which makes a total of %57.5 recharge bonus) Thanks to new enhancement boosters however my build got a change now I only need weave from pool powers to softcap my toon with only 29 slots spend of defense powers only two more slot than SO's i free up two powers and got all of my recharge bonuses in addition to any other bonuses i got from IO's (each red fortune also gives %2 damage buff and i have two slots of LoTG on passives which gives %10 regen)
Its possible to make SR softcapped with SO's but other than being cheap, it doesn't have any other advantage.
Either I'm misunderstanding your post ... or perhaps you are reading a bit more into ClawsandEffect's post than I am. I don't think he is trying to say an SO build is in any way 'better' than an IO set build. Merely because you can soft cap so easily (such as in an SO only build) that in an IO set build it is possible to soft cap with few, if any, set bonuses aimed at +defense and therefore all set bonuses can be used for other things (such as +regen, +max health, +recharge, what have you) to otherwise improve the build. My own Claws/SR build being essentially just that ... I've only the two +3% defense uniques (Steadfast and Glad) the rest of her positional defense is entirely from her power choices no set bonuses involved. My main thrust for my build was for set bonuses all aimed at gaining more +regen, +max health and not +defense (no 6-slotted GSFC, ToD or Mako's for example). I could do that because I do not need to use sets to gain +defense which is essentially what you do if you are doing an SO build.
Am I correct in assuming that you get the extra defense from the Steadfast IO whether Tough is toggled on or not?
I only regret that I have but one life to waste playing computer games.
Live fast, die young... and leave a flesh-eating corpse!
Quote:
Correct for both the Steadfast and Gladiator. Further in the case of the Steadfast the +3% is treated as if it were a set bonus meaning whether it effects me is dependent on its level and not the level at which Tough was chosen. So mine is a level 10 Steadfast and I receive the +3% bonus from 7th level and onward.|

The Glad being a pvp IO is more like a purple IO set bonus ... it's in play all the time regardless again of whether Tough is active or available.

|
With generic IOs, the Steadfast, CJ, Weave and Maneuvers, you can softcap all positions with only 12 added slots, 22 total. I think that's pretty reasonable if you're on a tight budget. You could take every power from your primary, six-slot all the attacks plus one from an epic pool, and still have several slots left over.

With procs and set bonuses, it's possible to softcap an SR without investing any additional slots into Focused Fighting, Focused Senses, Agile, Weave etc. I wouldn't recommend it because the DDR would bite but I almost find it difficult not to hit 45% in 3 positions.

The problem when you get mezzed isn't so much that the toggles turn off ... they will keep running while you are mezzed, it's that they become suppressed when you're mezzed and you will lose the +defense value they provide until your status state wears off. So in the case of my FF I will lose about 21% off my melee defense (plus Weave, CJ, and Maneuvers all also suppress). Worse in some ways I'll lose the DDR from all my toggles as well ... about 63% of my 95% or so, cascade failure of what my remaining +defense is becomes a real threat. On the other hand that's why I always carry 2 or 3 breakfree, pop one and problem solved as all my toggles immediately start functioning again if I do find myself mezzed.|

As for PB 2 SO's (or common IO's) are sufficient for perma-PB so you'd need about the equivalent amounts (33%+33%) globally to to make up for it. Which is why with 97.5% global recharge mine has only a single slot with a level 50 Endred enhancement. Thinking about it I probably don't even have to worry much until exemped below level 15 (which is to say just about never, even Posi has one at level 15 in part 1) when I would lose benefit of Quickness. I'd be sitting around 60% global recharge --> 40% from Purple sets plus Quickness (and at level 22 all my LotG +recharge would kick in as well putting me back at 97.5%). This is also for a scrapper ... Brutes don't get Quickness until level 35. Note also that because those are global bonuses from sets they are uneffected by exemplar scaling, which if you were just using common IO's or SO recharges in PB those would get scaled in value while exemped particularly to low levels.

Yeah it's a rare event to get mezzed. It usually involves one of two things for me ... scrapperlock --> I get too busy attacking and just plain don't click in time and most of the time end up not mezzed but bounced on my backside from kb (and go oops! and click once on my feet). Or secondly and far more dangerous, fighting up level foes such as +4 Carnies and find multiple MI and pets who simply overwhelm my protection (double the fun if 1 or more Masks of Vitiation have or get landed) ... that's when packing those few break free are between me and faceplanting (and having the otherwise largely useless Conserve Power comes in handy).|

Okay, so this is what got my ire up initially. I wouldn't try to softcap a scrapper with SOs. You wouldn't try to softcap a scrapper with SOs. I think the majority of players wouldn't because you get some bonuses from Red Fortune and Luck of the Gambler that are useful in other areas.|

So, the comment about soft-capping with SO's and you being a "sad panda" (WTF!?) because I used IO sets to hit the soft cap added exactly what to the discussion, other than trying to make me sound like a jackass? See?
Okay, so.... Look, fellas, egregious errors (you gotta be effing kidding me) aside, keep in mind that I don't have a PC, I have an iMac and do not have access to Mids. So, I worked out most of my Def Set bonuses on a newspaper at work on breaks. Pardon me if the way I journeyed to the soft cap wasn't the way you would have all chosen, but I got there nonetheless.
Kane Black has incredible survivability and with my Alpha Cardiac slotted, I rarely glance at endurance. I'm sure all of you can find flaws in what I achieved, but this is CoH, not CoP(erfection). So sue me.
So, my question about the def sets and slots I have chosen, is why don't I want the bonuses that the IO sets I have chosen provide? If I give up my 6 slot defenses and their associated IO sets, I lose considerable bonuses, just to receive bonuses in other areas. There is no such thing as a free lunch.
I would love to see your ideas on how I should have built/slotted my toon, but keep in mind that I don't have Mids. If you wouldn't mind typing it out, I would love to see your ideas.
Thanks,
Clarke

I think you're mixing me and Aneko up. I was the one who said that using reactives and kincombats makes me a sad panda. I said that because those sets are typically used for typed defense bonuses, not positional like SR uses. I certainly didn't mean to imply that using IO sets was a mistake, and if that's how I came across that was entirely my error in communication and I apologize. My own SR characters use IOs extensively, just not those particular sets.
That said, the fact that you planned you build without Mids is really quite the accomplishment and no joke; I would never have the patience to do that so hats off to you. I will happily send you a PM with a build using other sets, and yes I will ensure that you don't need Mids to see it 
Sorry about the miscommunication, it's gotten both of us on edge and life's too short for that.
edit: here is my El Cheapo MA/SR build, from a character I no longer play. Cost was real low and the build treated me fine (I quit playing it because I can't stand the EC animation 
). This build has overcapped defenses, 77.5% global recharge, net 3.73 end recovery, and can EC every ~5 seconds/DT every ~6 seconds. Lots of room for improvement but I was unwilling to throw money at a cahracter I didn't enjoy. The overcapped defenses are an artefact from when I didn't understand how DDR worked and thought that Cims would trash me; turns out that just doesn't happen with SR

I just wanted to take a minute and thank all of you with constructive input. I greatly appreciate it.
Okay, dumb question time...
The base Defense Rate of all of /SR toggles is 13.88. If I slotted the 4 pieces of Red Fortune (50's of course) that modify defense on Focused Senses, are these defensive bonuses calculated individually against the 13.88% base rate?
If so, then it should modify the base defensive value of FS from 13.88 to 23.55. I'm working blind here, sorry if the math is way off. If I then added a fifth piece of Red Fortune to FS I receive a set bonus of 2.5% to Ranged Defense. Is this set bonus also figured against the base rate of 13.88%? Or is it added intuitively to the modified value of 23.55? Or...I dunno, maybe I'm really far off on the mechanics.
Quote:
The enhancement value of the IOs modifies the base defense the power provides. The "ED cap" of enhancement for defense powers (Schedule B) is around .56, so fully-slotting (3 SOs or decent-level IOs) should get your Focused Senses (base defense 13.75) to 21.45% defense, give or take minor differences in SO or IO level.|

Then the set bonuses are added directly to your actual defense number, that 21.45%. In this case that would add 2.5 to 21.45 to produce 23.95 defense.
If you're doing it in your head, not with Mids', sum up the defense from each enhanced power that grants defense, then add each relevant set bonus to that total. You'll need to do this separately for each position (melee, ranged, AoE).

But....if you softcap without having to use Mako's Bite and Touch of Death, it means you can 5 slot your attack powers with Crushing Impact instead, getting the same recharge bonus as Red Fortune without wasting slots in a defense power that doesn't benefit much from having 6 slots in it. That saves you a slot in every attack power that isn't 6 slotted for defense bonuses. |

This makes around 1/4th of actual slots. This also means although you can fit LoTG's in the build somewhere you can't get recharge bonuses from red fortunes.
|
If your endurance is under control, you don't need more than 3 or 4 LotGs in your SR toggles. Anything more than that is wasted slotting.
So, take Weave and add 2 slots to it. Take Maneuvers and add 2 slots. Now, since you have 3-4 slots in your toggles instead of 6, you've saved 6-9 slots total.....and only put 4 slots in 2 extra powers, thus giving you a net savings of 2-5 slots to use somewhere else.
Softcapping without relying on defense bonuses from sets like Mako's Bite and Touch of Death actually SAVES you slots in the long run, even though it costs you a couple more picks. Since you're probablt going to take Tough anyway for added survivability and a place to put a STeadfast Res/Def, you already have that pool started. Maneuvers opens up Leadership, which lets you take Tactics for a place to slot Gaussian's for another 2.5% defense bonus to all positions.
Believe it or not, I know what I'm talking about here. If you can softcap an SR without relying on 6 slotting attack powers for defense bonuses, you can spend those slots on OTHER set bonuses, and your character will be stronger for it.

Posting this here instead of making a new thread.
Yes its over the soft cap but not enough over it IMO I would like it to be 50 in Melee Rangeed and AOE. For the iTrials. I just don't know what else I can do to achieve that.
Also my MA is only level 30 and I still don't know what attacks I should keep and what attacks are completely superfluousness.
