I do think DDR should probably be a bit lower on some sets. A shield Tanker is nigh invulnerable to Cascading defence failure whilst still having very high resists buffed by IO set procs. Shield also provides extra damage making it a more damage orientated set yet it is also one of the top survival sets as well, that does seem a little imbalanced. It also has extra +max health. Super Reflexes is king of DDR but it does have a lot of resists available to it also, either from the set or IO's. 90% defence and 90% resists is achievable on a Tanker although they would probably be at 30-40% health. Still huge though. Some saying they can afk in an ITF. A resist set could not. Willpower has little DDR and the defences will be stripped easily leaving some resists and healing. The healing can also be debuffed. The set offers no extra damage at all. It is weaker than Shield defence and offers no extra dps. A resist set will have any defence it has built stripped from it very easily. Even 90% resists is not enough for some content. Any healing the resist set has, can be debuffed to ineffectiveness also. Resist sets do not have +max health either unlike a few defence sets. Defence also provides more defence vs debuffs. I think avoiding 95% of all attacks and then mitigating that 5% by a further 70-80% is superior to taking 10% damage all the time. Having played all Tanker sets i do believe there is a small inequality between resist and defence sets. That is why Shield is picked by many top end builds, Shield/EM for example as both are OP lol. But i am not exactly sure how to fix it. Perhaps the Ageless Radial incarnate should have the DDR removed. My stone tanker with 80%+ resists, 60%+defences, 55+regen, 3500+health and 70%+DDR with the incarnate Radial thinks so anyway.

I would probably vote for Rad/SS or /WM or pretty much any secondary really. Some CC in the secondary is always helpful. RadA has good resists mostly and those it is low in are not so common. It has very good endurance recovery, especially with a Theft of essence proc. It has regen and good heals/absorb. Shield is great but takes a bit more building i think. Rad is good even on SO's and can do a MoITF with buffed mobs when built well.

Is this any help? Time lords boon will cap the slow resist to 100%. I didn't want to rewrite your build just try to get you some more S/L defence/resist. Not of any help then @BrandX ?

I would remove stacking DDR on Shield defence though lol....there i said it, now i am going to hide 😛 Oh and i would split the Might of the Tanker proc to 50/50 def and resistance rather than just +resistance. It favours defence sets too much. but that is a different topic lol.

Gloom is a really good Prerequisite for Dark Obliteration and is usually a dps gain to most builds.

Ground Zero is not a necessity. It has a long recharge and animation. On the plus side it can take procs and can be an extra AoE. Some like it but a lot don't. If you want an extra AoE pickup Dark obliteration in the epic soul mastery pool and proc it out, much better than GZ. Meltdown is not always necessary depending on build. A brute might get some good use out of it though. Plus it does give extra damage. Of those 2 i would drop GZ first. Radiation therapy can be 6 slotted with procs for an AoE attack. Particle shielding is worth 6 slotting with preventive medicine or 5 slot panacea.

Maybe a Bio Tanker with Savage melee might be a fun animalistic way to play. I like Rad /SS but Rad with anything is good. Ice melee could be a bit different. Or a elec melee/shield Stalker/scrapper could be fun.

Talk me into rolling an Ice Tank uh? If you don't roll one Now, i will find you and you will be very sorry! lol

Dominator version of Hurl boulder is ok also at 1.5 second cast compared to 2.5 seconds for everyone else.

Hurl makes me want to Hurl and Shout makes me want to scream.

An Ice/SS Tanker was my main back on live. I thought it was pretty cool 😛 I didn't know much about IO builds back then, but i had a lot of fun with it anyway. I never once thought it was squishy.

Bio/SS Tanker (possibly Rad/SS) or a Fortunata widow.

There is a new updated mids builder that would be better. v3.1.2.5

oooops

Electric is nice. It has a little extra resistance than Rad but that is easily mitigated with IO's. Rad has better healing and Rads T9 is actually useful. I made a Rad Brute to closely rival my Rad Tanker in survival but my ElecA brute never came close. ElecA is easier to build. I guess it is build, playstyle and preference though. It is funny how the Resistance sets don't have any +max health built in. It seems only the defence and hybrid sets get it.

I would place Rad Armour over Electric, Fire and probably Dark for the resist sets.

If kick is not slotted then don't use it. The chances for a proc are low unless it is a regular attack in your rotation, even low (16%) chance is ok if you use it a lot, FF or damage procs. The damage loss from an unslotted attack not in regular rotation is not worth the proc. Head over to view active sets to see what +recharge, accuracy etc are built in.

Most sets could do with that tbh.

Fire melee offers no mitigation effects like knockdown and stuns etc which help boost survival. It has only +damage which it still isn't the best at. It can't be procced out the same as other sets. It can not take a FF proc. The damage is ok as said above but for a set that is damage only it is a little bit lacking. Yes it would be nice if the set could have a minimal graphic setting to avoid the fire swords.

Looks good. One thing though, I don't think you need Resilient incarnate with that build. Try Cardiac or musculature or something.

Where is the Superior might of the Tanker set? That proc will push your resists higher allowing you to reduce resists elsewhere. 83-84% is more than enough as one proc will push it to 90% easily. As Warboss said.

Zero Mindset Zero Tolerance Zero Motivation Zero IQ ( I have this and may be persuaded to let it go) Dr Zero ( I have this but works in capitals only. i will let it go) Absolute Zero ( I have this but works in capitals only. I will let it go) I misread the first post. You want ice/ice not ice/psi sorry.

To be honest it should be half resistance and half defence buff anyway. As it is now it favours defence sets more.
