Ok, So I created this during my lunchbreak so I am sure it isn't up to par, I mostly tried to amalgamate my old SS/Inv brute into a new StJ build instead.

Fly is non negotiable for concept.

I'm building an Inv/StJ Tank so have a little familiarity with the powers.

One thing I'm not clear on with this build, is what you're trying to achieve... Add to that my confusion at where an extra +100% recharge was coming from (it was the Force Feedback proc) and I've been scratching my head for a bit

Anyway, these are my thoughts...

- The +Def additional slot in CJ is only adding +0.5% defence. You do obviously get the 2 set bonus of 10% regen, but moving this to a Healing slot in Health would give you +17% effective regen.

- The 3rd recharge IO in Hasten is only giving you 3 seconds less downtime. Worth a third slot?

- 6 slots in Stamina and I'm not sure on the benefits. It must be the set bonuses you were after, but I can't see what benefit they bring.

- Dull Pain is a major power in the form of a Heal as well as Max HP (which increases your effective regen as well) and it's on a slow recharge (155 seconds w/Hasten)

I had a play with the exact same powers and came up with the following build: (powers chosen in no particular order)

The differences?

Pros
- 46% S&L Def (softcapped) vs your 41%
- 34% F, C, E & N Def vs 30/25 on your build. the above build is a purple insp from the soft cap to everything (excluding what you can find with Invincibility)
- 116% overall recharge vs 105%
- Slightly better end recovery/second and slightly less end use/sec than your build.
- Perma dull pain vs 35 second downtime dull pain

Cons
- Removed the chance for recharge proc
- 233% regen vs your 284%
- 111% max hp vs your 117%

Resists are about the same.

If you could stretch to the Glad +3%def proc, you could probably drop a Kin Combat set and replace it with 3 frankenslots to free up a slot, or shave some slots out of Weave and lose the 5% recharge bonus it's there to provide.

If you're not set on those power choices, Taunt + a 6 set of Mocking Beratement gives some nice +Def & +Recharge bonuses too...

Lastly, you might consider using any spare Enhancement Boosters to lift the 2 Recharge IOs in Hasten to +5's (would save 6 seconds of additional downtime on the Power)
