Love some input on my build.  I'm quite happy with how it plays at the moment, but it can always get better.  I don't have all my incarnates at the moment, but they will just make life easier down the road.

 

I'll give some input below on my rotations and stuff below.  I haven't pushed this and don't know what kind of content it can actually do but I'm not sure higher then +2/x8 is advisable without completed incarnates (I do +2/x5 atm when solo).

I play where my toons are... and they are everywhere.  But Everlasting is my current main home.  Come on by my base GOLD-11404.  And, yes, most of my toons start Gold Side (Bold Side)!
If you want to make a fortune of Inf in City of Heroes, watch my guide on the Auction House.
Or come on by and visit my Discord.

I run my theme groups there and chat with Twitch viewers in voice there.
And lastly, come see my on Twitch.  City of Heroes is my main game!

Posted (edited)

The majority of the time I sap the enemies Endurance almost immediately in every fight.  So they don't get much chance to do anything while standing around, so simply immobilizing the enemies with Chain Fences is enough for me.  There aren't many ways in my build to get -Recovery though.  Time's Juncture offers the Deflated Ego: Changce for Recovery Debuff proc and the incarnates, Ion Radial FInal Judgement and Gravitic Radial Flawless add additional -Recovery options.  

The build also has some decent -Recharge, - Regen, and Slow/-Speed.  Though I seldom apply Time Crawl on anything but harder bosses, EBs and AVs. But if using Time Crawl I try to do it right after a Power Boost cast to get the buffed effect.

 

Prep/Toggles/Every Fight Powers:

Spoiler

I run the following toggles non-stop: Time's Juncture, Conductive Aura, Super Speed, Maneuvers, Combat Jumping, Tactics and Temp Invulnerability.
As I come up on a fight I will open up by starting Hover.  I then cast HastePower BoostFarsight, and Chronoshift, in that order.  I re-apply HasteFarsight, and Chronoshift as they expire and always cast Power Boost prior to Farsight.

If, and only if, my Endurance hits around the bottom 3rd of my bar I activate Conserve Power, this is rare.

 

Single Target Rotation:

Spoiler

Against a Single Target the majority of the time (if the target can be held) it is easiest to just immediately stack Tesla Cage and Time Stop on them.  When I get to the end of a group and have 1 enemy left, this is all I do, lock them down and let Gremlins do work.  Throwing Jolting Chain at them will speed this up as you don't need to completely spam Time Stop once they are locked down of course.

 

Against a group of Enemies:

Spoiler

Open with Synaptic Overload.  Wait for a moment, usually this causes some grouping if they are really spread out.  No need to cast it a second time, just open with it.
Follow up with Static Field and then Distortion Field. You will re-apply these two occasionally when their effect is gone.
Rotate between Chain Fences and Jolting Chain, if there is an enemy that is resisting everything else you can make it your primary target and also apply the Singe Target Rotation to it. 

I usually go for an even rotation on Chain Fences and Jolting Chain because they are both on a 2 second or less cooldown.  This has netted me 5 Overpowering Presence Procs at 1 time, and having 5 orbs ticking is kind of cool.  With all the procs in these two powers I actually find it hard to keep up with what actually is going off at what time but I do see a lot of healing coming out of the Power Transfer: Chance to Heal procs, but I have 3 of those slotted.

 

Auto-cast:

Spoiler

I don't really use an auto-cast outside of the times that I am in a group.  But I will put Temporal Mending on Auto in groups occasionally.  The Heal over time and the bonus Resistances for the group never hurt.  I find I have to mash Conserve Power a lot more when I do this though.
