I'm not sure what I did to make that number jump up on my build or why it wasn't recognizing Energize b/c I've had it in the build the whole time but I've gotten it to read about the same percentage now. <--- I've figured this out now, I didn't know you could turn the powers on and off in the builder.

I think I have a much better understanding of how to build a toon, the biggest of which I think is realizing that you can mix and match sets under the same power to get a lot of bonuses. Much appreciated.

Yeah I know the various enhancements have end reduction on them, I'm meaning this number vvvv The highest I've gotten mine is 6ish % I see the set bonus is related to the blue bar but I'm not seeing where they are able to get such a high number. Also I guess I should ask if that set bonus is specific to the power it's slotted under or is it more global? Previous to reworking the build, I was getting over 210% recovery making Energize only mildly useful. I only mention that because, that's one of the places where I was losing a lot of better set bonuses thinking that I needed that much recovery.

Also where are you guys getting all the Endrdx from? Another reason to they way I've put the build together was to make it possible to almost not need Energize. Either to free up a power or to make it so nearly impossible to be drained.

I have this toon at lvl 50. The idea of having a blaster with so much defense is such a foreign idea to me, that it's kinda hard to wrap my head around it b/c I think I'm losing so much dmg to other sets. Honestly these builds to me, look more like something a scapper would use. With more thought though, it seems the whole point to set bonuses would be to give your toons attributes they might otherwise not be able to get through the chosen powers. This is all really good information, I'll keep working on it.

I changed up some of the sets from mids offering a better option of what is allowed vs using paragon wiki to look everything up as I was before. I dropped Leaping in this build and Picked up Fighting for Tough and Weave. I would've liked to keep CJ just because of how little the end cost is but I don't know what other powers to take, I agree that jump kick is worthless to me as is boxing but weave seemed better that acrobatics. The epic pool powers have little appeal for me, I've not used any but the only one that I've considered is PFF. I'm not overly fond of self affecting powers though b/c in combat those powers are useless, unless I'm trying to get away after getting in too deep. Also the KB enh that I slotted are KB -> KDs that I actually have slotted, I couldn't find that enh in the builder. It's probably obvious but I tend to build my toons around team play, which is the main reason I don't worry about def much but this build did get me up to ~ 10% on all Def.

Thanks for the notes guys, I'll d/l mids and work on it some more. I took Acrobatics for the small bit of Hold protection/resistance it offered, and I was honestly running out of powers that seemed to make a difference. I think I should drop the Leaping pool altogether and had picked it up for CJ, but I was trying to find more useful powers than melee ones. I don't see melee to be of much use for a blaster and I really only use them as a last FU before I die.

So obviously, this is my first lvl 50 build I doing. I'm pushing Acc hard as I only have a couple AoE powers, so what I shoot at I need to hit, and being a blaster defense isn't something I was concerned with. I'm squishy, I die, it happens usually b/c I bite off more than I could chew. I haven't gotten to incarnates yet, still working on that. Not being concerned with D is why I dropped the 6th slot on most of the powers, and I'll exclude the Chance for (x) enh when I slot those powers. I really only pick up D powers because I was running out of powers to grab that seemed useful and I rarely melee with this toon I think the bonuses will stack like so: Acc 126%/DMG 21.5%/Recharge 78.75%/Regen 54%/Recovery 10.5%/Health 6.4%/Range 30% any suggestions or something I'm not doing right?
