I like Ice Armor with the different T9. Really good IO builds that don't occasionally need to pop the T9 are probably better on Tanks and Brutes. But the pretty good builds that sometimes get debuffed can make use of it.

Why didn't I think of that....... If there's a spot or reserve put down Jax 'Tommy' Gunn as Thugs/FF MM. Lots of guns.

Try Claws/Ice Armor. You get a slow and a damage aura, along with single target and cone KD (slot Shockwave for KB to KD!). Strong single target chain plus AoE with Spin, Shockwave, and Icicles. Plus and Endurance tool in Energy Absorption with a heal in Hoarfrost. And the Scrapper T9 Icy Bastion is very useful when your defenses are debuffed.

I should be on for a bit after central time today.

I'm down with Legacy Jax - My attempt a Proc build on a Fire/TA Controller FYI I updated the MOTD in the channel as it was showing the Dr Q message for me on both accounts.

I was able to start as a Rogue, so Vigilante should be fine to join. Sorry to hear you aren't feeling well Trixie. I'll be down for running with a small group, and going again the next time it comes around.

Was a bunch of fun today, even if my butt got numb sitting for so long. 😃

Captain Jax is Nerco/Dark MM ready take over the skies. With zombies.

More general ideas... You look to be over slotted for S/L resist bonuses, so the 6th slot bonus in the Tanker ATOs don't seen to do much for you. Perhaps drop the Acc/Dam to free up slots for damage procs or to move elsewhere. Might get more out of Blistering Cold in Punch, or another set with recharge bonuses. Maybe add the Gladiator's +Def Proc to Unstoppable. You can use the Overwhelming Force KB to KD in Foot Stomp to squeeze a few more points of damage out. Health and Stamina give twice the regen and recovery than Physical Perfection. Using IOs you get more out of the each of the first 2 IOS in Health and Stamina. The 3rd slots in PP only give about a 1% bonus each. Swap that up a bit then look to maybe add the Panacea proc, Miracle and Numina for Health if you have slots. The plus Heal or end to Stamina maybe. Another option if you do not use all your attacks, drop one for Dull Pain. Not only a heal but great for extra regen for it's duration. I might be tempted to use Resist sets that give defense to S/L, but with Invincibility saturated you should have soft capped S/L. Anything else you might have to have specific goals in mind; i.e. more global recharge/Psi protection, more specific defenses to type X.

I think I'll swap to my Fortunata Jax Widow. More damage/support if we have another Tanker lined up.

Jax Saber

You can put me down for my Dark/Katana tank for now. Good against Psi damage.

Since AR/Kin is an OG Corruptor combo, mine's been renamed Bourbon and is now a moonshiner what can evade the cops oh so fast. Sign me up.

Sorry I had to sneak out so early. Too much excitement going on in one day for me compared to the rest of the year.

@TraumaTrain I noticed the TF is listed in the 25-29 section for Flashbacks. Does that mean it's now level 25 minimum or only the leader needs to be 25? I haven't done a lot of teaming on flashbacks.

OK, I got a family invite for dinner tomorrow. So if there are other players that want a spot mine is free for the taking. If there are less than 8 people I might join at the start and bow out if we go long.

Your build should clear most Fire Farms, might not be super quick. The biggest thing that sticks out is the low level of global recharge. A couple little changes and your defense numbers go up that other powers can be slotted for recharge. Positron's Blast, LotG, Doctored Wounds, etc. Was it intentional to not use the same set more than once? Three slotting Aegis into a couple powers is an easy way of getting Fire Defense. Mocking Beratement in Consume and/or Taunt gets recharge and Fire Defense. Get a few vet levels and pick up Ageless for the Destiny slot, suddenly Endurance is more manageable and Hasten is closer to perma.

I thought about bringing Savage Jax or Jax Vos as Star Wars Alts for Star Wars Day, but the Defender is new and shiny.

In honor of my mom completing her chemo treatments in 2020 and World Cancer Day coming up Feb 4th.... Look out for my new Poison/Rad Defender - Cancer Treatment because sometimes the cure is worse than the disease.

You are so far over cap on Fire resistance, there's no gain on Winter's Gift in SS(do you even need a travel power) or really Reactive Defenses in Weave, and then Maneuvers is under slotted for Defense. If you have more defense you won't be needing Healing Flames, so slotting that for Fire defense bonuses. You have Ageless, is the End recovery from an extra slot in Boxing doing any good? Instead of Stealth you could take CJ and still slot LotG +Recharge and get a few points of Fire Defense. If you are going to slot the Purple sets, take the Damage proc vs the straight Damage IO. I think you have more recharge than needed for Fire Farming, I'd get more winter sets(use Catalysts to have Superior versions) for Fire defense or Sets like Annihilation or Scirocco's as cheaper options. Keep an eye on your resistances, if you are over 90% to Fire with only 1 fire toggle running, only run one and save the end, Tough won't help make sure that's not turned on. Also perhaps don't need the +Resist IOs in Maneuvers depending on where you Fire resist ends up. If you are using single target attacks, probably not being as efficient as possible. Probably want Electric Fences vs. Mu Lighting. It has a much lower recharge than Ball Lighting and can immobilize mobs close to you when you might be over agro cap. I would also try and maximize the AoE powers with 6 slots, Blazing Aura, Quills, Burn with more procs(damage and -Resists). With Ageless you probably do not need a 3rd slot in Hasten, but you could get boosters to get the most out of 2 slots. Build up and Fiery Embrace can be similarly used with perhaps one less slot or maybe the chance for Build Up proc in Build Up. For me it's some place between 42-44% Fire Defense I really feel strong in a Fire Farm and stop needing Healing Flames(45% is better). That frees you up from eating Lucks as well having to spend time casting Healing Flames. Without trying to change too much, here's something that gets to 45% Fire Defense and 90% Resist without running Plasma Shield. http://www.cohplanner.com/mids/download.php?uc=1498&c=684&a=1368&f=HEX&dc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

Guess who's got a new Corruptor - Roma Montoya AR/Kin that could use some merits? <-- This guy

Been system down at work for 6 hours... I might be good. I am tried. Cannot lead.

Work issue came up, I do not think I will be joining.

So one of the best things about SR on Tanks is how high you can push your Def. My Mids build is showing me 4% more Def to Melee/Range/AoE than I have. I swapped a few set bonuses out for procs. I tried to push my S/L resistance up and fill in passive recovery and regen. With so little needed to get to Defense caps you can take the build any way you like. Perhaps massive recharge.

Adding in the Fighting Pool for Tough and Weave, taking Maneuvers, and try to add the +3% Def IOs and +Resistance IOs to your build. Then start looking to set bonuses that grant S/L defense. You want to be as close to 45% Defense to S/L and as high as you can be for Fire/Cold and Energy/Negative. That will help delay how quickly your defenses are reduced by certain enemies. Ice is more susceptible to debuffs than say SR, More sets should mean you can move slots from the Energy Mastery Epic. With Energy Absorption you may not need it at all. I would look for any other Ice Armor builds and see what sets people use, some will be very expensive Winter Sets but that does not need to be your first goal. In short you are in the mid 20s for S/L defense and without constant inspiration use some groups will eat that up. Below is where'd I'd start planning my build. I'd fill in attacks with sets that give defenses to Fire/Cold/Energy/Negative, resists where possible focusing on S/L, and +recharge. I would probably take a travel power instead of Hibernate.
