Here's a stab at it based on my knowledge of AR and Invuln. Never actually PLAYED this combo though. So it MIGHT suck diseased moose wang.

Can't vote as none of them resemble my choices. This is part of it. The rest is primarily these two issues: and Right there. It's not JUST an overhaul of the sizing scale. It's something that requires digging in and reworking multiple systems (including mapping). A lot of effort expended for basically NO realistic returns.

Yes and no. The more he has, the less susceptible to Cascading Defense Failure they are. And it may just be an unintentional side effect of their build process. And, looking at it, it is. He's actively hunting up S/L Resistance and getting lots of additional S/L/Melee Defense. That being said, Not sure why there's 2 slots in Hurdle. Yank it out and stick it in Combat Jumping. Toss in a Def/End. Go Agility for Alpha. You should have basically NO problems with Endurance. In my place I might forgo one of the Obliteration sets (since you're already so S/L/Melee Defense-rich), even if you lose some S/L Resistance out of it and go Armageddon + Force Feedback proc in one of your AoE Teleport attacks. Also KICK >>> Boxing! At least with Kick you can slot an FF proc in there! Villain Plan by Mids' Villain Designer 1.962 http://www.cohplanner.com/ Click this DataLink to open the build!

Gallic Accent: But of course! I gots me some vo cab you larry lesson!

We're not "arguing"! Nothing so plebian! We are "exploring the rhetorical depths of cerebral exercises". Whew! I'm sweating simply CONTEMPLATING that!

... Honestly? As long as I'm standing at the end of the fighting? I DON'T CARE.

Exactly. Healing/Regen is *NOT* (and I repeat *NOT*) "mitigation". But it doesn't mean it's not still a part of a Brute/Scrapper/Tank's bag of tricks.

I'm not sure about such a build's place in-in game. It's essentially a Stalker which trades damage for team buff. So, yeah, it's a boon to it's team. And it kills slower than a tank...

I could make a pseudo-political joke about what should be done with Assault Rifle... BUUUUT I'm not gonna... Too obvious is...too obvious.

I think I may actually turn this into a popmenu. Then I can just front-load all the bothersome entities, Surgeons, Sappers, Repair Bots, etc. 2 clicks and "KILL!!!!!"

But there IS something to be said for Scorpion Shield. Villain Plan by Mids' Villain Designer 1.962 http://www.cohplanner.com/ Click this DataLink to open the build!

The reason you see a lot of builds with it, is that it contains Scorpion Shield. One of the greatest non-Primary/Secondary armors in the game. It VASTLY simplifies becoming a massive, unaugmented (by other players) Defense-monster. And when you take into account the buffs from your Protector bots... Defense Debuffs harshing your mellow? PFF+Afterburner! And it just stays on until you run out of end or die! Now, is it possible to get there WITHOUT it? Sure!

Heya Kyo.

You're talking in the absence of all other considerations. And, in that case, sure. You're right. The problem is, the game isn't this sort of vacuum.

Bingo!

Not really. And on my Perma-Lightform PB, my Rad/Rad, Fire/Fire and Elec/Elec with maxed-as-possible Resist, I don't have to especially watch my Health bar either. And all *I* am saying is that it's not as dependable as maxing Resists when you're on a build with no DDR.

"Can be." Yes. And you can win the lottery too. There's a "statistical chance" it can happen. Reality has a way of being much more prosaic. And yes, Hasten is 70%. But it's a RELIABLE 70%. No "Chance to".

Is 45% valuable? Sure. Is 45% that goes into cascading Defense failure after the first hit LANDS as useful as it would be on a build rocking DDR? No. ESPECIALLY so for a TANK, where DURABILITY is a consideration and who many these days subject to exceptionally high levels of difficulty.

Rad was my first venture into Massive Resistance Tanking. And don't get me wrong. With the newer IO sets, it makes MRT EASILY doable Basically I went through the 1-35 game running +2x8 using the Def > Resist formula. And it works! Then I high higher level Arachnos... And I simply couldn't stay alive! I even cranked it back down and limited the mob sizes. I was still getting shamed (not beaten, SHAMED) left and right. And I could track it all back to the point when my Defense became compromised. I basically cracked like an uncooked egg. And, because I'd compromised my build to favor Defense over Resist, once they'd chomped into my soft center...END OF LINE. So, I had a bunch of spare Inf and lots of RMs. I spend a couple hours tweaking in Mids, rebuilt for Resist > Def, and the experience COMPLETELY changed. It was such a huge difference that, upon hitting 50 on my Rad/Rad, I re-engineered my Fire/Fire and my Elec/Elec the same exact way. I did something similar with my PB too (running Perma-Lightform). Dear GOD has it made a huge difference in playability and fun factor. All of them still have a slathering of Defense. But now, I basically look during something like an ITF and go "OH GOD! -74% Defense! What EVER shall I do? MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" and cram my foot so far up a Surgeon's kiester that when I wiggle my toes it looks like he's talking... Now all we need are art assets for Cimeroran Surgeon Slippers...

Uh, the FF proc is a 10% chance for a 5 second burp of +100%. Also, Mids is mistaken. The proc doesn't stack. It simply refreshes the 5 second duration.

Oblits are "okay" in click-powers when your build is already well managed for Endurance Recovery. But putting them in ALL your PBAOE is nuts. The Endurance Reduction is just totally inadequate. And, as noted, you're rocking 0% Defense Debuff Resistance. So the second one of these Debuffs land, your Defense rapidly Goes Away. Once that happens, if you're dealing with compromised Resists, you're in trouble. Like putting a jackhammer into a big crack in a concrete slab. If given a choice between 75% Resists and 45% S/L Defense or 90% Resists and 25% S/L Defense, I'd prefer the latter. Because, in a Defense crash, 90% Resist will still survive almost anything.

And if you can do without some of the extra Recharge and Fast Healing... Still not a Resist-monster, but the Defense are generally better.

Suggestion for the latest build. Extract one slot from Hasten. Use IO boosters to make the remaining two slots 50+5 Go with Agility for your Alpha. Here's a slight rework of your latest build, subbing in Leaping and Assault rather than Flight. Taking the suggestion from above about IO boosters, this gets Hasten down to 120.5 Not QUITE perma, but close enough for most things.

Just remember that Resist-centric sets have NO NATIVE DDR! So slapping you with Defense Debuff basically just hits for full value. This means that jacking around your build to load up as much Defense as possible can be self-defeating. Because if you jacked around too much, you compromised on your Resists or short-changed your attacks. So in situations where DDR flies fast and loose, you're going to get stripped naked in short order and, because your Resists are compromised, you basically eggshell. Whereas, if you concentrate on squeezing out your Resists, and are able to slather a layer of defense (albeit, probably a lesser one), your performance curve should be much flatter in terms of surviveability.
