I really don't think perma Chrono is that big of a deal. If you are going to focus on blasting yourself, you should get a bit more +defense from set bonuses than +damage. +damage on MM (with the lowest damage scale AT) isn't going to make a big difference. You can try to get Negative damage proc in all 3 attacks to make them better.
An easy way to get good defense is Black Scorpian's Power Boost with Farsighted.
What's left is to normalize all Assassin Strikes and improve Stalker's old sets (Claw, MA and EM)! You don't need to bring back the missing PbAoE attack. You just need to make the existing ones better! For example, make Slice a WIDER and LONGER cone.

Thanks, but if you look at the build again, and my build goals...I have Scorpion shield and power boost...with it I'm capped to S/L. |

With a Power boost and Farsighted, I'm at ~40 Defense to all while capped S/L defense. My pets have very good defense as well. Power boost is up every 28seconds. So I could be softcapped to all for alphas approximately 1/2 the time. or 15 out of every 30 seconds...that plus Defensive stance, and my pets defense and heals, for alot of PVE content I'm in good shape.
I know Min/max wise, +DAM doesn't make sense....but these are the parameters I'm trying to build this character under.
I've actually noticed looking at the build again, I hadn't boosted any enhancements, that gets me to perma Chrono.
Keeping my....arbitrary parameters I'm building around in mind...I'd love it if anyone could see any way to further improve the build. I'd love more Procs in my personal attacks, but again...don't want to loose recharge.
I know...its not the typical MM build...but I've got a few of those...Doing this for fun, I'd love to figure a way to get slowed response in the build...again, without really loosing +dam or +rech....but I'd rather give up +Dam.
Thanks.

I do think Slowed Response is very important. It can really increase your overall damage output if your goal is to spam your attacks.
What to drop?
Hard to say. You may not like it but I think you can drop Dark Blast and just focus on using Gloom and Life Drain. Yes, Dark Blast has better dpa than Life Drain but Life Drain heals you and debuffs tohit longer and you can put one more negative proc from Accurate Healing.
What's left is to normalize all Assassin Strikes and improve Stalker's old sets (Claw, MA and EM)! You don't need to bring back the missing PbAoE attack. You just need to make the existing ones better! For example, make Slice a WIDER and LONGER cone.
I know with these retrictions placed on this character he won't be the most effective....but its how I'm playing him...I NEVER take personal attacks on MM's or at least not all three, and I never build for +DAM or really for +rech either...but that's who this guy is.....
What I want from this character:
-I am taking all his personal attacks
-as high of +Dam as I can get for the MM
-enough +rech to perma Chrono
Within these limits, I'd like to max out his effectiveness. Current Problem with build.
- Just missing Perma Chrono,
- I'd like to fit Slowed response in the build but not sure what to drop.
- squeeze in any more damage?
I have the INF, cost is not a restriction, I'm not to 50 yet, I think I'm at 42 ATM...This is not the build I've leveled with, I've been playing around with it so much the slots and levels are all messed up....but not looking to build for exemping.
Thoughts?
Try to mix around the slots in Grave and Soul extraction to get +3% Dam and 6.25 rech from Soulbound?
What to drop for Slowed response? without loosing +rech or damage?
Probably have to loose a Defensive power, but I can't figure out what to drop and get Chrono Perma, I loose a LOTG +RECH....
Thanks for any help!!!
EDIT: Other things I'm looking at include Boxing/tough/weave....can be removed to benefit? Move slots from Scorpion shield to Farsight to get 5% +rech, and 2% Dam with Red Fort, willing to move any of the 6th slots out of personal attacks if needed elsewhere.
