Acyl Tries Purps: A Draft Syndesis Build

[Acyl]

Regen players and other folks, can you give me your opinion on this? It's a high-recharge, high-damage DM/Regen build. I seriously need advice on this, because this is new territory for me.
See, I've always preached the virtues of budget IO builds. Without purples.
But to hell with it.
Syndesis is my oldest and favourite character. Once I finish my current IO project, my Inv tank, I'm thinking of pulling a Valles (or Terrence, for that matter), and simply investing all my inf earnings into this.
Thoughts on the build? The end result here is 77.5% global recharge from IOs (meaning Hasten's about 20-30 seconds short of perma). With that much +rech and Hasten running, well, I figure it gives good milage on Regen's heals and click buffs.
Attacks are all slotted with procs - again, with the rech, they can cycle pretty quickly.
I realise, by the way, that it's possible to squeeze out another 10% global recharge by taking Laser Beam Eyes and slotting it with the ranged purple set, but that doesn't fit Syn's concept. I already have one power just for purp mule purposes - Boxing. Not sure I want a second.
Note, I'm not too sure about the slotting for Midnight Grasp. What's there is just my best current take.

I took a look at this and applied what may be a bit more of the design philosophy I've used on Utena to it, to see what I could hammer out, and got this as
a result:

Overall, the main difference from shifting the slots around is that you wind up with a touch(like, decimal points) more recovery, 682% regen vs. 635%, but the
tradeoff is that you go down in global recharge boosts by about 20% (77.5 to 55.5). Whether the 47% regen boost makes up for that or not is mainly your call,
and I admit, Utena's died more often due to not having clickies than any other reason, so it may be that focusing on boosting the global hasten rate is
more effective. I suppose this is more of an alternate "heal vs. recharge" build to consider than anything. But the frankenslotting in your original
build is fiendishly effective.

Also, on Midnight's Grasp, I'd suggest swapping out the proc for the additional Crushing Impact Acc/Damage piece. This leaves you with ED nerfed damage
output and nudges your accuracy into the yellow sweet spot of juuuuuust below ED nerfage.

Thanks for looking at it Ops, I really appreciate the feedback. The build based on your Utena logic looks solid - very solid, in fact. It's just not the direction I'd be going in, I suspect. There's some things you have there that are good, but...
On the subject of regen rate versus pure recharge, I'm liable to err on the side of, well, the recharge.
Here's where I'm coming from. See, in a way, the pure recharge adds more global regen than regen set bonuses would...by getting Instant Healing and Dull Pain up way more often.
As for Midnight Grasp...with all the purples in, the character has massive global accuracy, so individual acc slotting in the powers is not that great a concern. But the purples, of course, won't be in for a very long time - obviously they'll be the last thing. But even then, generally speaking you don't need that much global acc.
With the enhancements as they are, and the fact the Focused Smite and Crushing Impact can be pure max-level frankenslotted enhancements since they aren't contributing bonuses...the power will be past or close enough to the ED line anyway, on damage.
Given this, there's better milage in using a proc - especially one like Mako's or Cloud Senses with a high 20% trigger rate. The times it does go off will more than make up for the slight percentage dropoff in pure damage numbers.
