The major idea behind the build is that, between Hasten and Chrono Shift together, I can more or less have both of them up permanently barring some seconds long gaps, and with both of those in play, I can have Conserve Power up at least half the time, effectively getting rid of almost all of my endurance issues. (Whether that's overkill or not, I have no idea.) I've got Rune of Protection up half the time for damage mitigation, Farsight up permanently for the defense buff (even stacking if it works that way, although I can't remember off the top of my head and don't think it does).
My major concerns are whether I have enough defense, as I'm more or less operating on just Superior Invis and Farsight, and whether I have enough damage with only Phantasm and Phantom Army being real damage dealers. Again, since this is the first time I've done something like this and I'm not familiar with the math, I have no idea if I've gone completely overkill with the Hasten/Chrono Shift/Conserve Power synergy and compromised my effectiveness elsewhere as a result.
Thanks in advance for the help!

I guess I'll put this here: Is there any good reading I can do on how to optimize end-game builds? Things like what caps I should be aiming for, an explanation of how some of the damage/to-hit/enhancement algorithms work under the hood, etc. I'd like to try my hand at soloing some high-end content, but I was like 12 when I last played CoH, so the intricacies of the system are totally lost to me.
Right now I'm running an Ill/Time troller, and I really don't know if that's a good, synergistic combo or not.

For everyone saying "just use a keyboard," there are genuine disability issues that would make a keyboard uncomfortable or impractical for someone to use that a controller wouldn't have. It's not necessarily an issue of preference.

If you make any binds, these are the ones to have.

I used to be in Bloodvine. Corrupted Youth, Bots/FF MM. Had a smattering of other heroes and villains but BVA and the CoH forum RP community were my main crew.

Thanks for all the input!
I think I'm going to swap Deceive for Spectral Wounds, swap Arcane Bolt for Spirit Ward, and have a pretty big rethink about how I'm slotting. I'll report back when I think I have something workable. Thanks again!
