Sphinx Build Idea

  Many of the 'enhanced' powers can just be covered by the travel powers, tbh. As far as normal powers, yea, the other concrete things I got were using FC or Bestial SN, a Giant Growth adv, and maybe NW for the camo- so I suppose your build satisfies that aspect.
  
  Anyways, AotB scales w/ Str, but that isn't SS'd here. I'd prob just use a STR/End/Con_Dex SS setup instead. I would prob also use Supernatural Power as the EU, since its quite nice for builds that are taking mostly SN powers. The build could also use a source of Shredded (esp if taking Warden's Upper Hand), and you can prob axe Psionic Healing, the lunge, and/or Howl for it. Eviscerate w/ Messy may also be a good idea. Here's an example edit of it:

  Warden: Ruthless (2/2)
  Warden: Upper Hand (2/3)
  Warden: The Best Defense (3/3)
  Mastery: Strength Mastery (1/1)
  
  I switched Thrash to DE cause the Phleb adv gives it stronger healing w/o as much build up (assuming the target has at least one Bleed up), but you could go back to Thrash, if desired. The build uses Shred initially to put up Shredded (and a Bleed), while taps of Eviscerate can refresh Shredded and any Bleeds, and Massacre is your main attack otherwise (Massacre and DE_Thrash can't proc AotB on their own here, so Evis taps can also help w/ that). Frenzy can still be the main AoE. Gears mostly for Str, w/ some Con and End/Rec (both End and Rec help w/ getting smoother energy from Supernatural Power).

  You want Str instead of Int since that's what you need for AotB. You could also PSS Str but stack Dex and take Form of the Swordsman or Form of the TIger. Wild Thing won't help a lot since you don't have any End. You could swap in End in place of Con since you have Invulnerability for when things are tough. Your ability to heal others or your self with Psionic Healing won't be great (no Pres and the like). Maybe just an ally rez instead? E.g.
