[Show me your Defender tier list!]

I would like to add my thoughts on defenders.

they are my favorite archetype by far.

to me its all about team support.

the best part is it can come in a variety of ways.

In my opinion they are the most versatile group to play.

my main and favorite is my empath/dark defender (Moonbeem)

I have 3 builds I use with her. 

1st build  (damage build)-  I focused on damage and less on heals and buffs.  (they are there but not maxed out).  

2nd build (support build)-  all my attacks are slotted for -to hit debuff;  heals and support powers are maxed out.

3rd build  (hami build)    -  this build was made on a challenge and I use it to tank hamidon  in the hive. (as long as I get a little regen support)  

                  I can also buff/heal with her on the same build.

 

the main issue I run into is you never know if your team you just joined is going to be weak or solid.  

So when I join a task force  I will play my damage build.  

If after the first mission I feel they need more support I can switch to that build and better serve the team.

The - to hit debuff the support build brings to the table can make a huge impact.

Add in the other buffs for defense, regen, recovery and mez protection and she definitely can make a difference.

My favorite thing to do is watch a scrapper run off and get killed by a group all alone.  

I come in and mez the crap out of them and rez the scrapper.

Then I head back to the main group making him look like a fool.

 

Yes there are days where the team doesn't seem to need much of the empathy side of my powers and I have learned to adapt to it. 

Just do more damage and keep them  out of trouble. 

Also I play very aggressive. 

You will find I prefer to follow right behind or next to the tank.  They are my first priority!

anyway the most important thing i have learned is no build is best for everyone.   

you need to make the powers in your build fit your playstyle to maximize your performance.

As such I prefer to level my toons playing them in task forces.   

Its a personal choice.    

It helps me decide how to play them and what powers to pick.

If you want to farm your toon to level 50  I dont have a problem with that either.

what matters most is are you having fun!  :)

  

 

 

[Best Tank for Hami raids?]

Hello everyone.   After some extensive observation and mids building I would like to share with you my Hami tank choice.    My empath defender moonbeem!    I have successfully tanked Hami 4 times with 1 emp supporting me.  Tonight I was mending the Hami tank and he dced so I took over tanking solo to finish half the raid alone.  Go defenders!   Best part Is I can mend insanely well or tank Hami or yellow mitos with the same build!  🙂
