Fantomas: I wouldn't call it a train wreck. Numbers-wise, it resembles my kat/WP build that I haven't been playing much of, but she held her own in the "old", pre-pylon RWZ scrapper challenge, which generally makes me happy with a toon for MY PvE needs and then some.
Oh, and your character's regen is a LOT higher than my kat/WP's -- yours is up around where my DB/WP main's regen is, but I spent more on that build too.
The only thing I don't know about -- and it's important to know that I'm saying "I honestly don't know" and NOT muttering "I disagree with" -- is what appears to be your attention to positional defense rather than typed defense. Now, this is the SAME thing I did with my DB/WP, the same thing I did with my kat/WP, the same thing I did with my BS/WP -- see a trend here?
And the people here who know such things said "but WP works better with TYPED defense. Try some Kinetic Combat sets in there instead." And I didn't listen at the time, and I was still happy with the performance. Taking out a whole spawn of level 54 Rikti, no inspies, no temp powers, and so on? Woot!
And then over the summer, I took a friend's advice, respecced my DB/WP into a typed defense build and tried THAT out. And I'm a LOT happier now!!
DA adds to melee when the going gets tough. And it ALSO adds to S/L defense. Would you be happier with a typed defense build and trying to go that route? Again, I don't know -- your mileage may vary. When i19 rolls around and I have to respec a TON of toons...I'm personally planning on trying it.
Good luck, and let us know how it turns out?

Factual error: sorry, turns out Divine Avalanche adds to melee and LETHAL, not smashing. But I suspect you already noticed that! |

] Personally, I think those are very worthy tradeoffs. I think this new "typed" version looks even better, and I also like some of the little "extras" you slotted in there. I tended to slot 4 KC's in my melee attacks and then frankenslotted an extra accuracy/damage. You added two Pounding Slugfeststo DA for a little more regen and a disorient proc -- and every little bit of regen helps! (Would the Pounding Slugfest acc/dam be better than the dam/end? I think I'D like the extra accuracy to help it hit, but that's the fun with this game-within-a-game of IO's -- tweaking and customizing to fit each player.)
Good luck, and I'd love to hear what others have to think, too!

Hello all. I asked a bunch of questions about /WP recently and combined my answers with a build from Mojo's old guide. I've messed with this build a bunch today and I just can't seem to get a good one going.
I want to use up my respec before I19 hits...just 'cuz. I don't have the cash to make the build the way I really want it. I'm only looking to spend between 500 - 800 million on it. I already have a few of the sets so that helps.
Eventually, I'd like to be able to softcap w/ just one application of DA (nowhere near right now) but I don't see that happening w/out sacrificing some typed defenses (which are sorely lacking at the moment) here and there. I want as much recharge as I can get in there too.
Does the end seem to be sustainable? I think that's actually less than what I have in my current build and he never has end problems...I'd check but I'm not at home.
I took FS over SOTW because I took SOTW over FS on my Kat/SR...plus, it makes sense to have a cone for a /WP over a single target attack since I plan to be in the middle of mobs most of the time.
This toon will mostly do TF's, some solo and duo teaming. I'm not looking for the mightiest Kat/WP on the planet or anything but I do want to be able to hang w/ some of the good builds...even if I'm on a somewhat lower rung of the ladder.
I'd appreciate any suggestions/changes to the build. Is this a train-wreck of a build as is????
