slotting for ED/Drain/MG

Well... I got stuck with slot crunch. Drain, ED, and MG got sacked with just 5 slots total each.

I don't know how slot these three. I think I am set with ED...

erad quad, trip, acc/dam, fury -res, multistrike? trip

I don't know what to do about Drain or MG however. With linkminds up (it will be perma once I get to 50 and can slot sup ATOs and Coercives) and my current slotting, I am 40.6% def. Coercive will put me at 45.6%, unless I gain more ranged def from 5 slotted drain or MG, which I don't see as likely.

My e/n is ~softcap as well. My s/l is ~22%, and I run mind over body for some res at least, but it isn't slotted for res. Just a mule for 2 3% defs.

What to do?

Life Drain, I went for 3 pieces of Thunderstrike (emphasizing acc, end, and dam) and 2 Touch of the Nictus (the pure heal, which I boosted to +5, and one other heal/something I don't recall which). This gets some good values and Thunderstrike provides a little E/N/Range defense.

Engulfing Darkness and Midnight Grasp I have no clue - both are 6-slotted on my build, ED with Oblit, and MG with 5 pieces of Crushing Impact, I think (5% rech), plus the ATO proc (superior, woo!).

Are you really so slot-heavy you can't pull out 2 more to get ED and MG to 6?

Then again, I was perfectly happy to end up with Ranged defense somewhat over 30% and 20% to Melee and AoE, with no purple sets, just a Glad 3% that I got lucky buying for 'cheap'.

I am really that crunched. I have in excess of 20 def to all, softcap to e/n/ranged. I think I will go 3 tstrike, 2 nictus, and 5 crushing impacts as suggested. Thanks for the suggestion!
