So, my Defender is level 50 and working on Incarnate stuff.  I could use a little help with the IO sets for this one.  
 
	 
 
	I have so far made this character very much a support type.  Maneuvers, Tactics, Assault, plus all the buffs in the set.    I'd like to continue to be a buffer, healer and support with some offensive punch when needed.   An expensive build is fine - I have funds.    
	Here is the current power sets and my thoughts on them.  
 
	 
 
	Thermal Rad - I pretty much like everything in this set.  If there's something unnecessary, let me know.  
 
	Warmth
 
	Thermal Shield
 
	Cauterize
 
	Plasma Shield
 
	Power of the Phoenix
 
	Thaw
 
	Forge
 
	Heat Exhaustion 
 
	Melt Armor
 
	 
 
	Fire  with how snipe is going to change I would probably add that instead of RoF.  
 
	Flares
 
	Fire Blast
 
	Fire Ball
 
	Rain of Fire - I can live without this
 
	Blaze
 
	 
 
	 
 
	Dark Mastery I am not at all married to this set.  Dark, Psychic, Mu or Soul seem like good choices.  Maybe Pyre.  Kinda leaning towards Psychic now.  
 
	Dark Consumption - kinda meh on this
 
	Dark Embrace - yes to a def toggle
 
	Soul Drain - I like it, I just don't get to use it much.  
 
	 
 
	Flight, Hover and Afterburner
 
	Maneuvers, Tactics and Assault  
	Alpha - Musculature - I enjoy the extra Damage
 
	Judgement - Pyronic
 
	Interface - Diamagnetic
 
	Lore - undecided, not unlocked
 
	Destiny - like my other toons I will probably make all of them
 
	Hybrid - Support
 
	 
 
	Thank you!
