Endurance is now real physics (model v35)
The old scoring gave an endurance-broken build 45 to 72 percent credit no matter how fast the blue bar emptied. Now the model plays the fight out: full output until the bar drains, then only what recovery can pay for, measured against each fight's actual length. Sustainable builds are never penalized. Scores and warnings use your BARE recovery, with any incarnate assumption stated in plain text instead of assumed silently. Endurance procs (Performance Shifter, Panacea) are credited at their measured average from real game logs, 40 previously-dropped +Max Endurance set bonuses now count, travel toggle drain is always shown, and Cardiac gets recommended when your ledger actually needs it.
Every champion re-verified under the corrected math
All 24 certified reference builds were re-converged and gated: 13 were genuinely beaten by better builds under the new model (including every Peacebringer and Warshade form) and were replaced; 11 defended their seats. Each verdict came from a fresh, canonical comparison with the run's search health checked, so no result rides on a broken run.
The Build Assistant knows whether you are creating or retooling
With an imported or resumed build on screen the panel reads "Improve this build", shows the build's existing identity instead of re-asking setup questions, and every button names its consequence.
Your IO sets: visible padlocks instead of a vague checkbox
"Preserve my IO sets" now shows a padlock on every power you hand-slotted. A locked power's slotting is never altered by any solve, byte for byte (tested every release). Unlock individual powers to let a re-solve improve them. The checkbox and the padlocks can never disagree.
Custom targets shape the power picks, not just the slotting
Ask an Invulnerability Tanker for 45 percent defense and the proposal now includes Tough Hide, with an honest note about what it gave up to serve your ask. Anything not fully reachable is reported with numbers and a concrete suggestion, never silently traded. Your typed-in targets also outrank every internal heuristic in the optimizer: declared asks are promises.
Smaller honesty fixes
One targets control instead of two look-alike buttons, with your asks summarized on it. Hand edits to individual IOs update totals instantly, with a visible pulse. The targets editor states what clearing a field means: you drop the demand, not the stat.
