(yet another) DM/Shield build - Critique wanted please!

[Necrocyde]

Hi all, I was wondering if I could get some critique for this build.

 

Objectives:

1) High global CDR, I crammed in 5 LoTG 7.5% in wherever they could fit.

2) Semi-decent farming. I opted for blaze mastery so I could get more AoE via fireball. Also Char and Fireblast operate primarily as mules for Basilisk Gaze and Apocalypse for the CDR%.

3) I wanted high S/L resistances to be layered underneath the 45%+ positional defenses as I'm relegated to tanking when I'm grouped with a trio of friends who main as  Defender, Controller, and MM.

 

Questions

1) With Agility Core Paragon, my Melee/Ranged/AoE positional defenses are at 48.2/46.9/46.9. Is this overkill? I would like to try to solo AV's, and I read somewhere that 45% gives an even level critter a 5% chance to hit. Do AV's operate on this principal?

2) If Murcielago/Santorican (quick shout out, you were the one who inspired me to play a DM/Shield years ago) looks at this build, how does my slotting for defensive toggles look to you? Is there a way to squeeze more mileage with less slotting, or is that out of the question?

3) I slapped an Unbreakable Guard +Max HP into OwtS to squeeze out an extra 100hp. Is this worth it? I thought about putting a resistance IO in there to increase the resistances to make it a better "oh s***" power.

4) I have 3 slots in haste with a level 50 recharge IO. Is this build even close to Perma-haste? Currently sitting at 178.8 recharge with an Agility Core Paragon with Haste active.

[*]Don't quote me on this but I think AVs have a higher to-hit chance so extra def is always good

[*]Changed some slotting around. I prefer having hecatomb in Smite but that's just personal preference

[*]I like having UG +HP but again that's personal preference and I like having OWtS for the oh s&!* button

[*]You have enough global recharge to only need one slot in AD and two slots in Hasten to maintain double stacked AD and perma-Hasten.

[*]Added Panacea +HP/End and PM +Absorb because I like both of those.

[*]Maybe take maneuvers earlier in the build. Right now you can only maintain soft cap to L40.

[*]Grant Cover adds more DDR which is important when doing more end game content. A lot of enemy groups have -def and will turn you into butter without max DDR.

I'll stare at it a little while longer to see if I can figure out what to do for your defense toggle slotting but you'll probably lose some s/l res as a result.

[Necrocyde]

Thank you so much for taking the time to look at the build and giving feedback Santorican, you are the real MVP!

 

1) I would've never even bothered to look at the Panacea proc before you mentioned it, I'm definitely slotting that as well as the +absorb. Awesome suggestions.

 

2) Would it be advisable to drop OwtS for Grant Cover? I looked over the abilities and couldn't think of an ability to drop. I considered dropping SuperJump, but I enjoy having a travel power at my convenience, and potential stealth if I decide to slot a Jumping:Stealth IO in there to quick run missions.

 

3) At what level should I take Maneuvers? Should I take it at 38 and bump up Char/Fireblast/Fireball to 41/44/47?

1. Anytime

2. I'd probably drop owts to get gc. There's always the oh sh** power "Run Away."

3. I'd have it set up like this
