Your most used IO's

[KaizenSoze]

The IOs I always get:

Celerity for stealth

Preventative medicine - absorb proc

Miracle/Numina/Panacera health pieces for regen/recovery

Luck of the gambler global recharge piece, several usually

Gladiator's Armor/Steadfast protection +3% defense each

A quick aside, once you start getting into uniques and set bonuses, you need to know about the Law of Fives. A couple of people have mentioned here already slotting LotG "up to" 5 times, and that's why.

 

In game, there's nothing that really alerts you that ED will adversely affect slotting that 4th damage IO, and likewise nothing that will alert you that doing something to create a 6th 7.5% global recharge won't benefit you. Mids can help, as well as other methods people have mentioned elsewhere.

Kismet is used leveling up and taken out once my accuracy threshold is met.

LotGs slotted 0-5 times depending on other build priorities.

 

I recently made a discovery that eliminates the need for using Kismet at low levels.

 

There are three buff powers (Defense Amplifier, Offense Amplifier and Survival Amplifier) that you can get from Pay2Win for 1,000 inf per hour at level 1. These are, simply stated, fabulous. The offense amplifier gives 10% To Hit bonus, +15% damage bonus and 15% recharge bonus. The Survival Amplifier gives bonuses to max hit points, regeneration and recovery. The Defense amplifier gives 7.5% resistance to everything and 5% defense to everything, as well as +4 protection to all status effects.

 

You should definitely send your level 1 character 50K inf and max out on these buffs. These buffs get crazy expensive at higher levels, so be sure to take advantage of them at level 1.

 

Eight hours is a long time at those levels, with the double XP buff. You can easily get to level 22 or 27 before they run out (through DfB, DiB, running PI radios, and tip missions), without having to buy any SOs at all, really. I put in bids on attuned enhancements early on with funds provided by one of my 50s, and can slot attuned IOs (bought through the auction house) that will last forever starting at level 22 and 27, with some very useful IOs being slottable at level 17.

 

I run a lot of content at all levels, and don't feel the need to min-max for level 50+, though I do slot a lot of the IOs others have mentioned to maximize defense and resistance, rather than aiming for tons of damage procs. These characters run ITF, TinPex and incarnate mission content at level 54 without difficulty.
