My fortunata's build was requested so I'm posting it here. I don't use mids, but using mids would really detract from the effect in this instance. Basically I see it as a celebration of the excesses of super packs. I spent no more than 1.5 billion at the market, instead buying many of the expensive recipes directly with the mountain of reward merits I had available. This was far easier than my typical building process as I never had to wait for a low level recipe bid to fill.
The results speak for themselves. Hasten is ~6 seconds off perma which I don't care about because mind link is permanent. Defense is softcapped at all times and incarnate softcapped with mind link. 85% psionic resistance is handy, and my entire attack chain works from 96 feet. Not pictured are cardiac and rebirth, but who cares, you can't use enhancement boosters on those anyway.
I am of two minds about this build. Should I be able to get purple performance without (many) purples thanks to the magic of real money? The answer to that is moot because I already have. At the same time, it's tons of fun to play and building it was so much easier than normal that it's hard to say relying fully on the market was a better state of affairs. I estimate that anyone who is a tier 9 VIP should be able to come up with a build like this for the AT of their choice with ~$50 of super packs, using the veteran tokens they get from buying those points to supplement their enhancement boosters if necessary. You'll be left with a pile of ATOs, merits and other delights to use on other characters as well. Without further ado, a pretty solid fortunata build:
