Looks good, overall. There are only a couple of things I'd recommend changing.
First, KoB isn't a good choice for a MotT set. You want something with much lower recharge so you have more chances for the resist proc to fire. I'd put it in Jab since you're not taking Punch.
Also, OwtS is overslotted, IMO, the HP bonus isn't worth spending three slots on and the extra resistance isn't that useful. I'd put the Steadfast +Def in the base slot and use the three free slots to add a slot each to Active Defense, Health, and Static Discharge. I'd slot another recharge in AD, (as it is, you'll lose most of your recharge bonuses if you exemp below 50) a Numina Heal in Health, and a fifth PB slot in SD to pick up the recharge bonus.
Other that that, I think you're good to go!

ok made the changes you suggested. I chose to put the extra slots in health, KoB, and Health. Generally I don't exemp with this character.

Jab will be a horrid power for Procs once that change occurs. If you don't want to have to respec again, bear that in mind.
I don't have a problem respeccing again, I have several available from vet rewards.
How far out is i24, and what are the proposed changes?

It's not even in Beta yet. So, ... months?
Here is the thread, and the most important and informative of Synapse's posts:
http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showt...84#post4215484
Come i24, all procs are becoming PPM (proc-per-minute) procs, and the mechanics of PPM are also changing somewhat.
The MotT proc is already a PPM proc, so i24 won't hugely affect how good/bad that proc is in Jab.
The thing about PPM procs is that their chance to go off scales with the power's cycle time (recharge+activation). So in Jab, with a cycle time of 3.07 seconds, the proc chance will be 6*3.07/60=30.7%. Whereas in Haymaker it will have a proc chance of 6*9.5/60 = 95%. So unless you use Jab more than 3x as often as Haymaker, the MotT set is better in Haymaker.
Meanwhile, unless that Hecatomb set is the Attuned version, its proc has a flat 33% proc chance, which means it has the same chance to go off in Jab as in Haymaker. But you probably use Jab more often (although maybe not >3x as often), so that proc prefers being in Jab.
In short, you would probably benefit from having the MotT and the Hecatomb sets switch places.

These numbers assume no recharge slotted in the power. While that is probably reasonable in Jab frankenslotted for A/D/E, it's not for any sets slotted for set bonuses.|

The MotT set and Hecatomb both have unavoidable recharge slotting when you go for the set bonuses. Haymaker still fairs well versus current proc values. Jab will not in most cases.
I was talking about what they will do currently. You're correct about how that will change in i24, though, yeah. Come i24 the Hecatomb will be a PPM anyway, so there won't be a clear winner for which to put in Haymaker vs which to put in Jab... although a decent case could be made to move the Crushing Impact set to Jab and one of the proc sets to Knockout Blow.
Thanks to both of you for the explanation. I didn't realize that change was in the works for i24.

Actually the advice isn't even applicable now, since the ATIO procs are PPM.

Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.
Below is an update I am considering for my build. I just wanted to see if there was any obvious flaws or changes that need to be corrected.
I wanted to change from pyro, to mu for the added aoe attack. I also added the tanker AT set, not sure if I put it in the best place though. I am not totally thrilled with static discharge, I am just honestly not sure what to put in its place. I am also over on the 9% acc bonus.
Thanks in advance!
