Hi, I'm absolutely new at this game, and I've recently managed to hit level 50 with my first character. I'm sort of halfway tinkering with IO sets and whatnot, but I was wondering if I could get some advice. I'm pretty happy with the power choices that I've made, they fit my concept and whatnot (though I am willing to listen to minor changes), it's more enhancements that I need help with. I've posted my build that I have so far here, and I was hoping if I could get some advice.

Thanks tons!

Always try to include a Data Chunk or Data Link from Mids to help people who want to look at your build. While the listing isn't useless, a lot of people prefer hands on in the program.

Also are you looking to using IO Sets mostly or just regular IOs? Maybe a mix with sets weighted more? -- as you have both mixed in there.

Bah, I'm deeply sorry about that, I'm not 100% on Mids, I downloaded it basically to do this, and clearly I should have read the instructions or something. Again, really sorry. Here's the datachunk, not going to bother with the listing again, of course:

As for IOs, I am looking to use set IOs. I'm looking to use set IOs, but I don't want to go crazy with purple ones, those are just a nice bonus if I happen to find them. Pretty much all the non set IOs in that build are just placeholders right now, because, well, I'm not sure what to do.

Alright well sticking to your power scheme...

Basically since it's going to be a bit vulnerable going this path I figured recharge was a good way to go. Inspirations can keep you alive but they cannot help recharge your powers.

It's not too terribly expensive, the Bask Gaze isn't cheap, and neither are the uniques, but they aren't out of this world expensive. You can earn them by doing TFs, Tips, and SSAs -- not to mention enhancement converters // or whatever method you prefer haha.

If you are willing to part with a few powers and change Epic pools you could take the build a totally different direction as well.

I am willing to listen to reason, and think about any suggestions.
