And one way of looking at it with the upcomming pool changes: Why should I take Taunt? Why didn't you take the Presence pool placate?

I used to joke that when on my stone tank, I could pull mobs out of instances. I took provoke and challenge as well as slotted some taunt in my attacks. A viable option if you want to skip taunt IMO. Tough luck for your scrappers though.
I still usually take it on my tanks
Have never ever taken confront on my scrappers. -

I don't think CoH 2 would run along side CoH 1 - it would replace it.
Ideally it would be a new and improved game engine which could handle porting over content from CoH 1

If you are doing fine without it, why ask? If you are finding that people can strip the big bads aggro off of you, you should probably consider it.
Are you trying to drum up some drama? You have been around long enough to have seen this topic show up once or a bazillion times... -
Traps. Pair it with a set that has a whack of aoe's. Since you don't like repeating sets, try archery or ice.
Infinity loop! -
I would really try hard to get an Achiles Heel proc in both Freezing Rain and Whirlpool. Also, as freezing rain is possibly the single most important power in your build, I would try to get its recharge down as low as possible.
Even though the power says it doesnt stack from the same caster, because you are casting two separate pet entities, it will stack with itself. I can doublestack the debuffs permanantly on my bots/storm. That is -60% resistance before your proc fires.
Other than that, as long as the build works for you, that is all that matters.
Actually, at least get yourself 4 points of kb protection... -

I'm torn, I like your fixes quite a bit, but you removed over 6% of End and 8% End Recov. I need those in this build.
Edited to add:
Also, since you are interested in Resistance, may I recommend Paralytic Interface and Void Judgement. The -damage in both of these trees synergize and build on top of your resistances. Dont forget Melee Core Hybrid as well. Nice chunk of resistance to be had there.

I've taken a lot of the advice, and came up with this. Pretty inexpensive overall, a few exceptions. For my last power, I still have Acrobatics in. I have a few options, Acro..Assault..Power Build Up..Tactics. Opinions on which?
Power Build Up.
I think you have over slotted for defence debuffing. Way overslotted for it. Your accuracy is good enough that you wont be missing often anyway. All you need to do is lead with an(unslotted for -def) freezing rain, and you will be able to hit everything in the spawn whenever you want. I would also highly recommend cardiac over spiritual. Your recharge is okay without it.
I took your build and pulled some of the -def from it, while maintaining your goals I believe. I am sure it can be improved upon.

If I remember correctly, I watched something in the theaters in may at home, moved to oz, and watched it again when it released there 6 months later.
I will also add that at no time have I ever been so aware of the difference of being in a different country than approaching a Christmas dinner seafood buffet on a blisteringly hot day. Pass the Moreton bay bugs please! -

All very good points.

My experience is with bots. Trip mine is only good for my opener. Once the bots catch up, there is really not much point in trying to drop any more, cause the spawn is spread the f out, and frankly, I toe bomb, I don't set up and pull.
Tornado is good all the time, every time, even if it is just for lols. -
I can't see your build ATM, but do have some Storm advice. It is more important to have freezing rain up ASAP than slotting it for def debuff. It's an excellent source of -res. combine that with the ah proc and it helps to melt mobs fast.
As for LS, I have never regretted taking it. Slot it for damage and recharge it is good to go. Even if you only use it to cast right above you so it tears the **** out of anything that wants to close to melee with you. It is awesome with Av's as well.
You really don't need to worry about getting all the way to the positional softcap. Tag the spawn with hurricane, and the -tohit directly stacks with your defence. Just make sure you hit them all with your hurricane.
End reductions everywhere. +5 one of them in your attacks and the end problems vanish. -

Sort of. Mono is free for desktops, but the MonoTouch library for mobile devices requires the purchase of a $399 license... and on top of that, we'd need to pay Apple's licensing fee for the right to develop for iOS.
The more likely option would be the development of an HTML5 application version of Mids, which would require a ridiculously large amount of work - the kind of thing that would require a couple months of full-time development work from yours' truly. And I already have a job, so unless we wanted to run a $25,000 Kickstarter campaign or something, we'll have to stick with the current method of minor iterative improvement.
