Bio Spines Build Assistance

[Odhinn]

I recently got my Bio/Spines to 50 and Alpha slot unlocked. I know theoretically what to build for so I made the build below and would welcome and appreciate any feedback.

 

Some notes on the build: I built for some recharge but not Perma Hasten as to me sacrifices to do so were to severe. I was also not looking to see how expensive (or cheap) I could make the build given I main an Invul/SS I spent about 700M on. Mystic flight is a must have for the character. Also, I was unsure what to choose for epic pool.

 

I know I approached making the build from an Invul / * tanking mindset and that may be a shortcoming in the current set up.

 

Thanks !

Build wouldn't post.

Why not add another Performance Shifter proc into your Physical Perfection ? If you are actually using that Focused Accuracy toggle you will need all the endo you can get

Thanks for the input. I honestly just put those last two powers there as I was unsure what else to take. Leveling to 50 I never took any epic pool powers and was considering the focused accuracy for the perception IO given I hate being blinded. I think I would get more benefit from soul mastery.

I really dislike the Focused Accuracy power, the effect is fine for what it does but it drains something like 0.75 end which is HUGE, depending on the set that end drain is equivalent to all of your AT toggles combined...
Blind does suck but it isn't really something that is common enough to warrant something like focused accuracy to combat it. Like you said Soul Mastery, or possibly Mu Mastery if you want a bit more damage instead of the debuff from Soul, will get you a lot more mileage than Energy.
