What are your plans for incarnates?
That third recharge on hasten isn't doing much, especially if you go with the recharge alpha. I don't know where to put it, but it is an option.
Also mids shows phalanx fighting giving you 0 def, but Im pretty sure you get a little def bonus even by yourself.
Hm, well, first question is of course- what's your budget? Judging by the build you currently have, I'm gonna guess everything's fair game except purples and pvp IOs?
Also, seconding the question about the alpha. I would recommend agility - recharge and defense buffs is wonderful for an elec/shield.
Now, what I saw right away... you took Havoc Punch, not Charged Brawl. Charged Brawl is better than Havoc Punch - it recharges faster, and has higher damage per animation.
Another big thing... /Shield can cap its defense debuff resistance, which makes a huge difference in how the toon plays. They key to that is doublestacking Active Defense (So it needs to go down to a 60 second recharge), and fully maxing out its defense values. Slotting it with 3 membrane Hami-Os is great for that reason.
I would definitely try to cap ranged defense. AOE defense, however, can really be ignored, since 99% of all attacks will check against meelee/ranged.
Do you find yourself using Jacob's ladder a lot? Personally, I found it rather meh, so if you find yourself hurting for slots, that's the first place I'd start cutting. You could put more slots in both Deflection and Battle Agility to get the defense values into the red. Also more endurance reduction in the toggles in general. Deflection also has a resist component that could be slotted for a bit more. True Grit as well. Could move the steadfast protection into One With the Shield and save a slot. The regen proc in health...really isn't worth it.
Hi,
Thanks for the replies. I was thinking for Alpha either Agility or Spiritual. For Destiny I was thinking maybe either Ageless or Rebirth. For budget, I have a ton of hero merits available but as for influence figure about only a billion or so. I think if I switch out the Touch of Death for a Makos, that should give me my Ranged cap. I didn't realize that Charged Brawl is better than Havoc Punch - hmmm, I may have to switch into that. I'm not a huge fan of Jacobs Ladder but it is also helping me soft cap and also it is an all energy attack which is beneficial.
I was thinking putting in Enzyme Exposures where the Defense IOs are for Deflection; Battle Agility and Active Defense. I'm not sure where I can give up slots to get 3 into Active however. Maybe as Mr. Kingkillah suggest one from Hasten but that's all I can see. I do agree that moving the Steadfast into One with Shield is better. I wasn't going to take it but then figured I may as well. Thanks again for your inputs!!
this is what i would run

That's a nice build Black Assassin but a bit more of a departure from what I have than I would like. However, I think I will change out Havoc for Charged with Makos to cap my Range and drop on slot in Hasten and one slot in Health and put them in Active Defense and then try to save up for Membranes. I'm still on the fence about my Alpha though. Vigor vs. Spiritual ...
Hi Folks,
I was wondering if anyone had any input on this toon. He's doing relatively well but since I have a ton of respecs, I figured I'd tweak him so that he could 'be all that he can be' so to speak. I know I should trade out the Touch of Deaths for Makos so that will also softcap range. AoE is still not capped however. I was just curious if someone has any decent ideas without making major changes to the toon. You may need to turn on the defenses in Mids for some reason they seem to be shutting off. Thanks.
