I just took a quick glance at it, but I think Tactics is a bit overslotted. Perhaps you can drop a slot or 2, add them on to Aim, so you can use a Pair of Rectified Reticules, to get a bit more S/L defense.
I'll try to take a closer look at it later and see if I have any other suggestions.
Ah, thanks for catching that, decided to take the extra slot in tactics and boot it over to tar patch with a couple recharge IOs. I got most of the build together in game and he definitely benefits from all the defence (weeee soloing 4 greater devoureds at once). I am kinda missing the big heals from Fluffy though, but that neg damage proc just seems so good.
EDIT: Doh I'm sorry, I just realized that there's a whole separate forum for Build advice...

Seems plenty of folks still like posting in the forum sections for those that have specific experience with the AT in question. I'd not grief ya for doing so, and doubt others would, but I can't speak for the others at large. I know I don't often peak into the build section, tho, but I have made scads of defenders. I check the defs forum section because it's relevant to what I play, and then I comment on what I see, build or not.. So, if you post only in the 'Build' section, you may lose some advice from people that know the relevant AT best..

Hey folks! Decided I'd like to revamp my namesake toon to get the most out of him. As of now, in game, he has a sapper-y focus and can solo 0/x8 easily albeit slowly. For this build I decided to forgo a sapping focus as Short Circuit is already spectacular as is, trying to build for a good amount of defense and damage output without breaking the bank. Yet, Personal End-Drain is a big concern because I dropped Dark Consumption for Dark Embrace to squeeze in a tad more def/resist. I have no qualms with popping a blue every so often, though.
With all the toggley goodness on, his defs sit at about 33% Neg/Energy/Ranged; 28% Smash/Lethal; 25.5% Melee; 21% AoE; 19% Fire/Cold; and 16% Psionic. Coupled with all the -ToHit and the Stun from Oppressive Gloom, he should be fairly invincible. However, End drain is at 1.6/s...
Incarnate stuff isn't considered as I'm only VIP this month. (just bought Going Rogue)
Let me know what's over/under slotted or if you have any suggestions.

Set Bonus Totals:
For those that have not tried this combo, I HIGHLY recommend it. The two sets mesh together extremely well and create something that plays like a fast-paced Tank/Controller. Two holds let you lock down bosses and End-Drain combined with -ToHit keeps you and your team very safe. This guy was my first 50 and after all these years is still BY FAR my favorite toon to play.
