To be honest, the only one who knows what you should pick is you. Your playing style will dictate things like what travel power you want, and that can have implications for your other picks.

I'm finding it useful to slot Siphon Life with four Crushing Impact and two Acc/Healing from the Theft of Essence and Touch of the Nictus sets: this gives good damage, end reduction, accuracy, healing and recharge. It's almost like slotting 9 SOs in the power.

I'm skipping Shadow Punch and Touch of Fear, and picked up Air Superiority (which is greater for knocking down runners and flyers) and Fly. I find Shadow Maul very useful with large mobs: when they converge on me it's usually possible to jink to one side and catch 3-4 of them in the cone. If you don't like Shadow Maul (many don't because of the long animation) you may want to go with Shadow Punch instead.

I also like Smoke Flash for getting out of a jam. It works pretty well with just one acc IO so far, and am planning on adding recharge later.

I also picked up Kuji In Sha. Having two healing powers is very useful. It will be another 15 levels before I can significantly increase defense with IO set bonuses, and until then I need a lot of healing.

Finally, don't forget to use inspirations often. Keep a lot of purples in your tray and convert other ones to purples as needed.

Limit one SB per household, offer valid in continental US and outlying territories, void where prohibited.

Unfortunately, the US government has decided to ban all exportation of SB outside the US. Fortunately for our neighbors outside our borders, we have a new product just for you! Hot off the streets of Paragon City, it's ID! ID is like SB, but it doesn't make you run fast or go longer.

ID is not habit forming. ID or SB have not been evaluated by the FDA in any way. Some users may experience certain side effects as a result of using SB or ID. Please check with your doctor before beginning an SB or ID regimen.

What's your guys opinion on Widows?

Sure, Frostworks has it's uses on "Fail" pvp teams but that doesn't mean by any stretch that the power doesn't suck. Cold shields have better use in PvP than FW, and that's pretty pathetic on FW part considering how much +Def sucks in PvP.

Just hope they wont go back to making DEF useless again .
So in that respect of DDR nerfing , SOA dont need DDR anymore .
So i guess my 33% would be then in the new light a 3.3% DDR hardly worth it .

I guess the new fix is IO that brings DDR .

Perhaps. Probably, in fact. I made it match the original design. If needed (and judging by reactions, it probably is) I'll drop the protection some in a future update. It will never be as easy as it was when the green mito's perma-held themselves though.

EDIT: The design intent for Green Mitos is you essentially HAVE to hold them or they are nigh unkillable.
