Hi Bliz,
The first thing I noticed while looking at your build was your use of Mako's Bite and Gaussians. These IOs provide "positional" typed defense bonuses such as "melee", "ranged" and "AoE". Energy Aura provides "typed" which include "smashing/lethal", "energy/n.energy" and "fire/cold". And while those sets I mentioned do provide some "typed" defense, you're not getting the most bang for your buck as it were. You'll want to focus on using IO sets that provide "typed" first and "positional" second.
After you soft-cap yourself to the 6 main typed damages, I'd recommend slotting for +hp/+regen/+recharge. Psi and Toxic damage are going to be your main threats on an energy build but finding IOs that can help you mitigate these specific types of damage are far and few between and with no base defense/resistance to build off of can be difficult to make a meaningful difference.
A good bet is to add hitpoints to your toon so you can soak an extra hit or two from these "exotic" damage types. Regen will help with this issue as well. The added recharge will help you get your big hitters back up sooner along with your impotant clickies.
When there is no room left in Hell, the Dead shall walk the earth.
Posted this in the scrapper forum but discovered this forum. I'm looking for ways to improve this Stj/EA toon, having never played an EA toon hoping I did not make any major mistakes. I avoided using any HO's,PVP IO's and purples. Any suggestions?
Thanks
