Beyond that, if you're going to run Willpower's four toggles, AND Tough and Weave, AND Focused Accuracy, AND Sprint, AND slot them and your recovery powers well, it's my personal experience that it leaves just enough Endurance for my DB/WP scrapper to fight non-stop forever, and my other WP toons to do the same if I micro-manage Focused Accuracy during combat. A friend used my DB/WP build as a template and added Leadership, started running out of slots, and IMHO promptly ruined any chance he might have had of soloing AV's, unless he could find one he could defeat in about 90 seconds.
"You'll have to watch your END bar like a hawk."
"I just want to toggle up and go -- YOU do that and it works out fine."
"I'm running nine toggles [I also use Combat Jumping] and you're trying to run what? Twelve? At least decide between FA and Tactics."
"But I hate missing!"
"If you've got a 95% chance to hit already, which we usually do even against a lot of +4's with FA, running Tactics on top of that is just wasting Endurance."
I'm up to 12 level 50 scrappers, play seven or eight fairly regularly, and haven't been able to successfully fit Leadership into my play style, so now I don't even bother trying. Obviously, other people's mileage varies.

If you're willpower and you're close to the S/L softcap, it's my opinion that "close" is probably better than "gimping the rest of your build to get an extra point or two."
Unlike SR and Invulnerability scrappers, you've already got a metric crapton of regeneration -- especially when you're using Rise to the Challenge and diving headfirst into big spawns.
Unlike Regeneration scrappers, you've already got pretty decent resistances against those attacks that DO hit, which means each attack that does get through your lands does less damage.
Unlike Shield scrapper that get extra potential damage from each enemy in their Against All Odds radius, you've got a small -to hit bonus against every enemy inside your RttC radius.
Willpower is about layered mitigation, so just sit back, let it do its job and enjoy it. If people are really going to stress over hitting the softcap, instead of sacrificing damage (as I've seen in some builds) I'm not sure why they don't just unslot all their regen and pretend they're a Shield scrapper or something.

Here's the chunk, sorry, I thought that was included.
Thanks for the comments thus far. That said, I didn't really see how the linked mini-guide said my sloting was off. Said guide didn't mention Body Mastery at all that I saw, and While Stamina is nicer than QR for Performance Shifter, I didn't see that both was an issue. Can you explain a bit more?

Wow -- that guide is from 2008? When did we GET Ancillary Power Pools, anyhow? I couldn't find anything with a fast search of Paragon Wiki, though it says that Physical Perfection wasn't added until Issue 16. [ http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Body_Mastery ]|

Anyhow, the bottom line is that Physical Perfection gives only half as much End Recovery as Stamina. Putting a second slot in there with a Perf Shifter: EndMod won't give you as much End Recovery as, say, putting a 4th slot into Quick Recovery with a generic EndMod IO.
And thanks to set bonuses, if you were to put that 4th slot into QR and put in another, lesser Perf Shifter IO, you'll get even more endurance out of it!
These aren't full builds -- I just slotted QR, Stamina and PP into a blank build your way, then moved that one slot around for the other two.

I'm building towards t4 Musculature (I'm tired of Cardiac), and I'd like to keep Body Mastery as my EPP. I'm shooting for high damage, single target, high regen, no downtime. I solo a lot, but when I hit 50 I expect more than one BAF and the like. (I know I can make different builds, but if I can get one build to cover me all the better for my budget)
See my attempt below. My primary questions are:
* Do I have the slots between Health/Fast Healing/Physical Perfection distributed well?
* I've got a power basically available - currently I've put it to Stealth. I could do Hasten, but with Hasten/Tough/Weave/Combat Jumping I'm feeling like all my Brutes are the same. And while Hasten would be nice, it doesn't seem like it'd be necessary with this build. Is there way to make Stealth work?
* With t4 Musculature boosting my many means of End Mod, this works well for end...except that Assault, Sprint, and Stealth are all costly. I can run without when needed (turn on in teams, for example, where there tend to be enough boosts to make up the difference), but if there'd be a way to get something in there, all the better. I'm not devoted to either Assault or Stealth though.
* I'm just shy of softcapping S/L (without stealth included, that does it), but that's it. Advice on improving this welcome.
Please don't assume I'm at all familiar with the quarks/customs. Treat me as an intelligent bu ignorant newb. Thanks!
