You barely need to click at all, tbh.
Just wait till your end is below 25% and hit either one and bam you have no end issues for a while.
Or you could put some binds together to trigger Energy Drain when you are fighting, and Energize when you run forward.
It is better on a stalker.
But you do lose the awesome animation of rib cracker.
If Assassins Blow could use the rib cracker anim, then Stalker Street Justice would be perfect.
Might check out some of the Katana looks/models too, and see if they work for you. Flashier animations, bit better performance than Broad Sword. Not as annoyingly slow as TW.
With those Requirements you are basically looking at a Brute.
SR or EnA
If the defense requirement was relaxed you could do invul or WP scrapper, maybe with Shadow Meld as a helper.
SR and EnA for scrappers don't have taunt auras and those are the only sets you can realistically get those numbers with.

A tanker could do it of course probably ICE or Shield or Super Easy with SR.
We need the AH rewards to at least stay the same, the drops are basically fueling the IO supply.
That said right now we are in a decent place as far as prices/inflation of IOs, so raising the rewards wouldn't be a good idea either IMO.
TFs or Mission Arcs => converters => sell on AH => just go ahead and buy the attuned versions (or purps)
I have enough money now I can just buy whatever I want that I don't do any "farming"
Haven't found it to be squishy at all.
You can pick up the kinetic barrier temp power to get to the S/L cap early on.
You'll need tough and weave though of course.
I think that invoking DC or Marvel characters is basically a superhero game's Godwin rule. Neither DC nor Marvel have anything resembling a workable balance system. Even the Baddass Normals are Geniuses with Photographic memories AND former Olympic Champions
Green Lanterns are a particularly bad example since they are on the high end of the Mary Sue curve even for DC.
They could change the council hunt to 5th column. That would help for sure. Since back when the TF came out that zone wasn't overrun by the 5th Column making it harder to find the Council.
Also The Vhaz hunt in Faultline is annoying, it always drags out, Maybe they could change the zone?
And some of the Hunts are way too big, Isn't the Rikiti 30ish?
I'm going to have to admit the old defiance was more fun.
But the new defiance is better.
Plus with IOs and sustains you don't have a constant red hp bar and massive reserves of debt like the old days.
