I think your grant cover and phalanx fighting are overslotted. I left them at 1 slot, myself. I assume you have the active defense with two recharges to get it double stacking for the DDR. I didn't find that it made too much difference.
You don't have the force feedback chance for +recharge in footstomp. You're not really getting too much with that 6th slot in the ATO, so I'd change out one of them for that.
The 5 red fortune is kind of a high price to pay for 5% recharge. I went with 4 LotG for my toggles. You could replace one ToD set with Mako's if you want to even out your melee/ranged defense. If you're going to have one so much higher than the other, melee is definitely the one to have high, though.
Are you going with Ageless? I would predict some endurance issues if you don't.
Quote:
I'll disagree on Grant Cover. I usually 3 slot it with LoTG, the Global Recharge, Def/End and Def/End/Rech. On teams your giving your teammates more defense. In addition it also grants you Defense Debuff Resistance.

Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.
Mids build is below...it's just..horrible, I have a feeling it's not efficient, I'm not used to slotting or picking powers for a melee character(my main is a fortunata)
Would anybody be able to give me advice or maybe tweak this so it's a bit more efficient?
