In order to beat Kensei you need to go up to 4[W] powers to compare in terms of damage. For every attack you make. So he does more damage then your build. So you do less damage and are less sticky.Your defenses seem weird. Unless you're actually wearing that Heavy Shield that you have in your inventory, your Ref and AC shouldn't be that high. And your Fort is 2 higher, one from taking Superior Fort. I assume the other +1 is from a magic item. The thing is Beowulf's Fort used to be even higher. But after some very dedicated research on monsters and play testing, it didn't work out mathematically: the Fort doesn't need to be as high as it was and the trade-off resulted in lower defenses overall, which is bad for a Defender. Which is why Improved Defenses is being used over Superior Fort. Again, Beowulf is, far and away, the most optimized Brawler Fighter available. LDB took more then a month to work out the original build (with some help from dozens of people in 4eCO IRC), and has faithfully kept it up to date as newer, better options appeared for it.</blockquote>
