Hyperstrike

Here's a preliminary Dark/Claws.

Get your accolades. That should help spackle over some of your endurance issues.

My main annoyance is that I can't play it 24x7x52.

Hey dere! Welcome home!

Basically a permaLF PB is like a Resist-based Tank.

Because it is beneath a Tank's dignity to look at dates. I am here to Tank all problems for all times!

No. The power simply doesn't fit YOUR conception of Super Strength. And I'm sorry you feel that way. Now show me another TWO MINUTE LONG +ToHit/+Dmg combat buff, that isn't an Incarnate power, with zero downsides ANYWHERE in the game.

If you're going SO/Common IO, yes, the Rage crash can be dangerous. On a tricked-out Invuln/SS build with Incarnates? Nah. Not even slightly. Again, look up thread for the build I "double dog dared" someone to tell me was in any way dead meat on a Rage crash. And again, I seriously doubt needing to eat an occasional Inspie is THAT huge a detriment.

You still CAN run non-Granite. And you can be pretty badass doing it too.

Okay, not to put TOO fine a point on this but... If you are standing around, holding your genitals, idle during a Rage crash. YOU ARE DOING IT 'nuff said.

Oh noez! I might, on occasion, NEED TO EAT AN INSPY! The horror! THE HORROR! *WHIBBLE*

Even then, it depends how you build it. Tell me about the Rage crash on THIS build with a saturated Invincibility. I double-dog-dare you! And no, this is not a Granite Tank. It's BETTER!

With the ability to multi-build, you can build towards a butt-kicker Non-Granite build. And then, when you need it, become the Rock of Ages in in Granite. And pretty much the only thing that'll kill you are the Super McCheaty untyped death powers you find in Incarnate stuff. Just gonna disagree with you and move on.

Kinda like finding the one infected hair on a VERY hirstute dude.

And the door in Teal'c's face. The one I loved was late in the Replicator storyline. "Small Victories" Daniel Jackson: Wait a minute, you're actually saying that you need someone dumber than you are? Jack O'Neill: You may have come to the right place...

Go Agility for Alpha. Will bump Defense and Recovery. You can yank a Common slot from Stamina. Stick it into Gloom and 5-slot Sup. Winter's Bite. Bump to E/N/Ranged Defense. Single slot Darkest Night. Convert the other Common EndMod in Stamina to a Performance Shifter: EndMod for a bump to movement speed. Yank a common End-Mod out of Death Shroud or Darkest Night. Stick it in Tough. A bit more S/L/Melee Defense. Here'ss a cursory rework. Haven't really gone nuts with it.

Hey. I'm an old-school reader of The Marvel Family. Uncle Marvel was a boss!

I'm not THAT old! AGH! My lumbago!

You don't have to be Catholic. You don't have to be Irish. You don't even need to get absolutely HAMMERED and talk funny! https://www.jibjab.com/view/make/the_irish_step_st_patricks_day/5cf27c3b-214d-4041-a9c1-daf295aeff97

Yo! Who ordered the Tankmage?

Maybe?

Heh, I was playing my first character for 2+ weeks before I even realized what enhancement slotting was all about. REAL MEN don't read INSTRUCTIONS!

Also, here's another slight rework with some different slotting and power choice order. It front-loads damage a bit more.

Also, I'd look into taking a slightly more organic build and putting Fighting up front. CJ gives you almost no protection, even as heavily over-slotted as it is.
