Mine does all that, and if you run Ageless radial it's an unending amount of Endurance....without it, it's good recovery...

You have a different way of building than I normally do but it comes out cleaner.
This looks amazing on paper. Practically, what's the craziest thing you've done with it?
Erm...solo'd a couple AVs, (nothing major...bobcat...neuron...at +2)...killed a pylon couple times for personal interests alone...sorry, that's about it...no crazy TF solo's or anything like that...maybe sometime I will try that out...but for the time being I don't have the time to invest in say 2-3 hours of hardcore soloing all at once.

I've linked my thread from the Builds workshop forum for my TW/DA build. Maybe that will give you some ideas. I'm not in a place where I can look at Mids presently. I have a lot of fun with her. She's probably my second favorite character (fave being my WM/Shield brute). Lots of AoE, zero endurance problems, decent enough defense to stand up to x8 DA missions (although I usually run them so they're at most +1 to me after level shifts and I do use inspirations, etc). Getting to the 30s was rough, endurance wise, but after that it was a fun ride. I exemp her down to run SSA#2 on a fairly regular basis and she more than holds her own.
My build goals were:
-1 small purple away from softcap
-moderate global recharge
-endurance friendly

Hope this helps.
