Hello, everyone. I just started up my account again this month, and I wanted to get some input on a build I've been plugging away on for a while.

A Few Notes
1. Going for the Follow Up > Eviscerate > Focus attack chain.
2. Pretend that money is no object. The build may be expensive, but it gives me something to work for.
3. All enhancements that can be +5'd should be...Again...Something to work for.
4. I'm not set on the Ancillary Power Pool - It is mainly used as a placeholder for now.

Thank you all for taking a look! Let me know what you think!

I'm at work so I can't tinker with the build, but here are a few thoughts...

1. Follow up>Slash>Focus is better dos then the eviscerate chain, especially when you add an Achilles heel proc.

2. six slotting an attack with a purple set is generally a waste, as the six slot bonus isn't that great and the damage io puts you far over the ED cap. I usually five slot a purple and drop the damage io for another damage proc.

3. you have purples in focus and eviscerate but no melee attacks. At the very least you'll want the purple proc in there for slash or followup, especially if you drop evis from you single target chain.

Thank you. Those are some great points. Here are a few of my thoughts as to why I did what I did.

1. Doesn't the chain you mention have a much higher recharge requirement for follow-up given that focus and slash activate so quickly? I settled with the chain I mentioned to maintain higher defensive levels.

I'll tool around with the build to see if I can get recharge in line while maintaining high defense.

2. The main reason I slotted Focus with 6 Apoclypse enhancements was for the proc as well as the Psionic defense. I'm not at my home PC, but I think I had gotten up to 32%-35%. I'll take a look to see if I could make better use of the slot elsewhere. Apoc also comes with some of the best, in my opinion, set bonuses prior to the 6th slot.

3. This is a great point, and it is one that I wish I could fix. I just don't know if I could get rid of that Kinetic Combat and make up the S/L defense. Again, I'll take a look to see if I can wiggle some things around.

Thank you again for looking at this. Once I'm home from work, I'll play with it some more and repost.
