Trying to optimize a Sith-themed Katana/Ninjitsu - Build Help Requested

[MrInfernal]

Hello, everyone! I've lurked on the forums for years and have benefitted greatly from the amazingly talented build creators here. I have been working on a Sith-themed Katana/Ninjitsu scrapper and trying for incarnate softcap (58% positionals), as well as capping some resistances. I have 55% - 57% Melee/Range/AoE defense, capped S/L and close to capped (74.5%) psionic resistances. Hoping for some insight to tighten things up and squeeze out as much performance as possible.

 

I would love to have the defenses to take down threats quickly and not to run myself dry of endurance. I have experimented with throwing procs into the attacks to try to offset some of the lethal resistance that many enemies have. Any insights are appreciated.

I made a Dual Blade/Energy Aura Gray Jedi if this build helps give you ideas. Really enjoy it.

[Ringo]

I'll look at the builds in a bit, but you just inspired me to make an Elec/Nin Blaster and I am thankful for that!

[MrInfernal]

First, @Reddawg99, that looks like a fun build and I hope you don't mind if I steal it to make one of my own. Is the Arcane Bolt a force push? If so, I love it even more.

 

I have reshuffled my Katana/Nin build. I was level 25 when I made the first one to give myself something to build towards. As I've played, I've made tweaks and this is the current version I made after hitting level 40. No longer chasing incarnate softcap, the build shoots for ~45% positional, as well as capped S/L/P resist. Took out the unslotted mu lightning attacks and decided that Ion Judgement would serve as a Force Storm power. Going with Body Mastery for Conserve Power and Physical Perfection to emulate being bolstered by the Force.

 

I'm sure there are some more tweaks and I'm still curious to see if anyone can help me to optimize it. However, it is a lot of fun to play.

I'm on Indomitable (@TrueRadar), but would love to meet with other Force Sensitives 😛 Imagine running a TF and everyone running around with lightsabers, throwing lightning and slamming enemies around with force attacks.

[Sir Myshkin]

I kept forgetting to post this the other day but this isn't the first time a Force User build has come up and I've always had this one back logged. It work either way (Jedi/Sith) just swap the Epic out for Electric.
