I'm probably misunderstanding you, so forgive me if I make wrong assumptions in my attempt to answer you.

Now, if I understand right, you want to combine the pvp bonuses that Shield Wall gives you along with your pve bonuses? Why? Any of the pvp bonuses you get basically don't exist when you're in pve zones, so I can't see any reason to want to add them up.

Now, if you want to know what your total defense in a pvp situation would be, just click the pvp button at the top of mids, and it'll show you your stats for that.

I beg to differ. Unless I'm severely mistaken, most cloud senses IOs are incredibly expensive--which is why I can't buy them for my bots/traps as of yet.

I'm guessing you haven't looked them up in Wentworths for some time. Sets like that, Kinetic Combat, and Basilisk's Gaze are valued very highly for their set bonuses, even more so since they're somewhat hard to get, being low level sets.

That said, LotG, Basilisk's Gaze, Winters Gift, Cloud Senses, and Achilles Heel would be my prime choices. Whatever's left can go to Positrons Blast.

Oops, see what happens when a weekend passes and I forget to check in? I generally leave toggles like that running (especially since it has a negligible end/sec value) unless I'm stealthing. It's mostly to deter any enemies that happen to get close to me while I'm busy doing other stuff.

The build in question *shouldn't* really have end issues. There's only one leadership toggle, one resist toggle, tough/weave, Oppressive Gloom, and hover that would be on full time. That's roughly 1.40 end/sec, IIRC. Darkest Night (while very expensive to run, end wise) will/should only be used on boss fights, so that shouldn't be a problem. And like Stormy said, get a numina/miracle +recovery proc in health, and things should be great. My build has about 3.4 end/sec recovery, so even on boss battles (playing conservatively), you should be fine.

Main IO set goals (for this tankmage build) is defense, recovery, and a dash of recharge. You don't need to hit softcap on defenses, because you'll be debuffing so much that you'll be technically past softcap as long as you hit them first. Hasten isn't really neccessary, you'll be getting some global recharge with this build, and hasten would be overkill.

I'd go this route as well, but Clouded senses is just so damn expensive. But yes, long term, it's definitely the way to go.

I definitely agree on Dark Pit--it's what I chose on my build. Life drain...not so much. I've found it weak and redundant in normal use. The heal would need to be majorly invested in to be worth it, and I didn't have the slots to spare. (YMMV) Sadly, my dark/dark/dark build is still in the process of being slotted, but so far (being less than halfway done) enemies are already missing more often than hitting, and the kill rate is pretty fast.

Here you go, courtesy of StormyDarkness:

My ill/rad would like to join. =D
Will try to remember, have a bad memory about events like this. Name of character is Hypnagogia.

Uh, this isn't exactly the advice you were asking for, but I hope you'll take it into consideration anyways; if your goal is perma PA, and you're playing your ill/rad right, you really don't need the extra defense. It's nice to know it's there, but trust me, you wouldn't miss it. I went for fire mastery on mine--the fire blast is stronger than ice blast, and you can nab the self rez (For when things go very bad, as rare as those cases may be) and fire shield. YMMV, of course.

Yes, they took part in that event...for that character. So they've existed since the first anniversary badge they have, at the very least. And if they were global, they would lose your current definition for them

and become meaningless. Thus, redundant with vet badges.

This is somewhat late, but:

Grenade arrows.

Because shooting someone with an arrow that has a live grenade on it,

Hurts less than firing an arrow without one.
