First time sharing a build too, any advice on a better presentation would be lovely or tricks with using the export mechanic in Mids

Your doing better than me if you know how to share builds i still can't figure out the new mids export.

If your only taking 1 power from the epic pools and want a res shield i think you'd be better off with soul/mu, not sure how i feel about dark's not giving any s/l res yet unless thats just a mistake with mids numbers.

If you head up the page you'll see an earlier post for the same topic

Pretty sure you have vengeance ticked for your character stat output.

Yeah, I just checked in Mids and the posted numbers are the "with Vengeance" version.

Without Vengeance, you get defense numbers of:
S/L: 35.26%
Fire/Cold: 33.69%

E/N: 46.19%

Tox/Psi: 29.94%

Melee: 36.82%

Ranged: 43.96%

AoE: 37.44%

 

These are still pretty dang good, imo, so I'll definitely be looking into this. However, I find myself questioning how well this build can function in sustained combat since it only has a net endurance gain of 1.03/sec. I find that I need at least 1.8 end/sec for a build to be even tolerable.

[Crysis]

Yeah still strong +DEF numbers.  Keep in mind that while teaming it’s not uncommon to gain stacked Maneuvers or team buffs or when teaming with Incarnate players perma-Barrier.  Defense is pretty easy to softcap in this game.  You also aren’t likely to pull a lot of self-aggro with the build given the nature of /Traps and your Tri-cannon mechanic.  And you’ve got quite a bit of -TOHIT going for you also to further mitigate.  So for me, I’d say these numbers are great!

 

 

[SuperPlyx]

I can not get this data chunk to work and my Mids says it's up to date.

[ExeErdna]

From my running Arse/Traps skip seeker drones they won't stun like Flashbang also take Poison Trap and try to 6 slot it. It's your best hold/trap from the combo. Also, take cloaking device as soon as it comes up. It'll keep you alive as it is a true stealth field so you don't get spotted as much.
