Time/Water defender build and help

[shadowstar1975]

I am just starting out with a Time/Water defender and looking for a good, recent build.

 

Thanks.

I will post mine tomorrow when I get off work. Its not super or anything, but I am able to S/L farm +4/8 with zero worry.

Here's a hybrid of my Time/Sonic and a Water/Temporal Blaster I've played. This is pretty proccy but that's the joy of Time. You aren't chasing Def or Recharge as much as other sets so you can proc up a lot of the attacks. Procced up Time Stop is a good "extra blast" for example which Water kinda lacks. 

 

This isn't too dear. More HOs than I'd normally take but you can replace those. I've mostly used them because Steam Spray really likes +Range (and was struggling slightly for slots)

 

You could also switch a Damage proc in Water Blast for Forced Feedback if you prefer (but again you have lots of recharge anyway, on my Time/Sonic the Fort is basically perma)

Very similar to @Carnifax in overall power choice and proc focus. However, I've gone a little proc crazier, and incorporated near immunity to slows as well. I do incorporate tough here to max out S/L res, and my old friend Combat Teleport is here to help me throw Steam Spray in without interrupting the pbaoe madness.

 

I'm pretty happy with the result! Looking at the totals, I don't feel like I've sacrificed anything to achieve higher proc damage. As mentioned here, Time allows a wacky amount of flexibility in slotting.

 

Typically I would find a way to squeeze in the Bastion ATO proc, but I didn't really want the set, and don't think I'll feel the loss of the proc itself given the strong healing over time provided within Time itself, and the bit of extra from Dehydrate here and there.
