Basically NVIDIA is trying to clear the market of cards BEFORE ther 4000-series cards hit.

Here's one that's arranged more or less in leveling order.

Personally, I love walking into a fight and spending most of my time shaking hands with the villain's FACE. The cherry on the top is having someone who isn't acquainted with EXACTLY how insane Tanker builds can be, looking at you afterwards going "How the *PANCAKE!* did you do THAT?" Hence, my signature...

When you can essentially fight (not necessarily BEAT) an enemy indefinitely. Because REAL Tanks have no problem taking 3 WEEKS to sand off an opponent's hit points. And flat out "can't kill one another" scenarios can be seen as a "moral victory" for the Tanker. 🤣😂 🤣😂 🤣😂

There's nothing wrong with doing +0. Not everyone is equipped for high level slog. Not everyone wants to. And yes, a portion of the player base do it for "mercenary" reasons (XP, Merits, etc). Don't like that? Simply run your own TFs. Afraid of a level bug? Pimpin' ain't easy!

Here's a "Blood From A Stone" build. Trying to squeeze out the last iota of Resist.

Here's a few ideas.

If they were +Rech, sorry, my bad. Was at work and fiddling. Should be +EndRed

Also, if you're not slotting anything, KICK >>> Boxing. No real AoE... Organize your powers in exemp friendly order. Here's a bunch of ideas.

Here's a similar build with similar ideas.

#REEEEEEEEEEEE! 😁

Still believe that total damage avoidance through overwhelming Defense is preferable to Resist-based protection. As for Mez protection, oh no! I'm mezzed! But my defense is still Incarnate soft-capped! Yes, they're not PRODUCTIVE in that situation. But...

AMD's Ryzen 5 5500U with Radeon Graphics can be perfectly playable. Again, recommend an SSD and 16GB RAM. And there are some eminently affordable options. And with the Radeon graphics, it's not an RTX 3090 beater. But it'll result in playable framerates in the 50's and 60's in most games. Though if you want to nearly double the price, you can get a discrete GPU.

Sorry, I won't TOUCH a laptop where the brick is 2-prong. It's e-waste waiting to happen. On top of that, I toss one of these in-line. https://www.apc.com/us/en/product/PNOTEPROC6/apc-notebook-surge-protector-for-ac-phone-and-network-lines-3-pin-connection-100240v/ And for those who don't know what the ferrite bead is? The big thing on the right.

Grav is fun. It's just the set doesn't REALLY perform until Singularity. At that point, your effectiveness TRIPLES.

As an MSR leader of long years, the most useful toon is a */Forcefield/* toon of any AT. You can anchor the raid and protect it. You can do damage, buff, debuff, heal, whatever. As for "best toon" for a ship raid? As always, the answer is, invariably, what's FUN for you? I'd rather have 20 people who're having FUN at the raid than 48 people who are miserable or just going through the motions.

Unable to read yours because it's a beta/temp. Here's a stab at a tankish Fire/Kin/Stone.

If you're looking for "TANKEH!". Also, please note "Phalanx Fighting is set to Zero".

Then it helps that I'm not wrong! 😁

I keep seeing this thread and going "Oh! A tech support thread!" Grrrrr! 😁

Basically it'd be more productive to simply build a new set. Because reworking an extant set to proliferate it AND rebalance is a thankless task. Even if you do it RIGHT.

Kinda the same reason why Regen isn't propagated to Tanks. Due to AT mods, they either have to create an inferior copy of the original power set, or they're stuck dealing with a confluence of things resulting in a badly, brokenly over-powered combination.

Here's some ideas.
