TW and End Use

Attacks use more endurance than your armors. Want more bang for your buck? Put an EndRed in each attack.
TW is a bit more endurance-heavy than other sets because it is very AoE heavy.
Edit -> Let's look at the numbers.
Temp Inuln + Unyielding + Invincibility = 0.73 end/sec
Slotting for EndRed = 0.73/1.33 = 0.548 end/sec, a savings of only about 0.2 end/sec
Defensive Sweep + Titan Sweep + Whirling Smash = 29.79 endurance over about 5 seconds. That's 5.958 end/sec (almost ten times your armor costs).
Slotted for EndRed gives you 5.958/1.33 = 4.48 end/sec, a savings of almost 1.5 end/sec.

TW also does a ton of damage... it is quite balanced enduse per damage point

/EA /Elec /WP and /Regen all have endurance recovery powers in them. I like my tw/ea scrapper a lot

Yes, perfectly normal, and not just for Titan Weapons. Pain Tolerance is my favorite temporary power for a reason. 40 just seems to be the peak level for endurance trouble for some reason.

thanks for the input chaps.
I will slot for end in my attacks and see if that helps. I've just got a /WP tank to 50 so I'm not terribly keen to run another /WP so soon and I have a TW/EnAura brute on Exalted - so maybe it'll be interesting to compare.
I will press on with this and wait til I get to slot with IOs - but I guess I can begin doing that now.
