KM/Regen: S/L Defense vs. Recharge

I'm having a hard time getting the i19 Mids patch to work, but even if it was good to go, I think I'd still have this question. I'm looking at two builds; one with a 92.5% global Recharge bonus (and ~15% Def to "all"), and one with 72.5% global Recharge with ~35% S/L Defense. The idea was to use all that recharge to leverage MoG and Shadow Meld, but I'm wondering if the 72.5% Rech/35% S-L Def build would end up being the better deal.

There are a lot of moving parts here (most notably the effect of the FF proc in QS), but I was hoping to solicit some opinions as to which build folks think would be the better investment.

That's what I'm leaning towards, too; the only thing kinda-sorta holding me back is Accuracy. Kinetic Combat sets offer skimpy Accuracy values, and that build gives up the 15% Accuracy bonus from Hecatomb. Although it does still get +13% toHit from Tactics and the Kismet.

My feeling too.

Recharge has diminishing returns, I'd compare some of the real numbers in mid's and you'll likely find you may shave but a few seconds off some recharges, but having that defence is going to likely help a lot more.
