I don't like tempered readiness in siphon speed. I understand you are going for a maximum recharge build. What level are you currently at? Worse than trying to get maximum recharge is the fact that eventually you will hit the animation cap. I guess there are worse uses for the slots, but I prefer slotting 2 Acc and 2 Recharge IOs and call it a day.

I do like your taking stealth. I would put a winter's gift slow protection in Super Jump. I don't think 5 slots invisibility is productive. You want to be able to deflect burst damage, but with your own heal in transfusion, you can heal yourself quickly.

Did I miss a patch note? Can a character take weave with no prerequisite powers now? I know you can with a travel power, but fighting is a pool but non-travel.

I personally prefer the psychic mastery epic pool. AoE sleep helps to set up FS and nuking. There is additional psy resistance and mezz protection.

HelinCarnate:OMG it is so terrible. I have the option to take 3 more powers but no additional slots. Boo F'ing hoo.

Thanks for your reply Psylenz.

He is currently level 30 with a free respec available.

I will fiddle with the Psy mastery, its a concept toon so the psy wont fit but I can work around it RP wise.

As for fighting, perhaps I have some funky thing in MIDS becaues I certainly know I have to take boxing or kick so I will fix that as well and post it up. Thanks again!
