I see what you did there 😎

It's pretty awesome that the thread I started 2 ½ years ago is still going! 😁 As far as mine, I went Ill/Dark. He's a beast! I've solo'd numerous AVs/GMs. This combo works great whether solo or teamed up. The only problem.....I have fun with this toon and it is so powerful, I haven't made any other trollers bc I am afraid I will be disappointed.

My WP/Staff tank is a beast

Again, admittedly, I've not played Savage, so I don't know anything about it. But why does the damage for Hemorrhage just show (-122,1)? And with the Blood Frenzy bar slid over to 5, it shows (-152.9) ? Does that mean that with 5 stacks of Blood Frenzy it will do a total of 152.9 pts of damage? Over time? I just don't understand why it shows the damage as (-152.9). Am I making any sense? Take Rending Flurry...it's a DoT, but it shows up like this:

Here's a few thoughts for you. - Invuln/Dark is a classic "you might hit me, and it won't hurt" tank. VERY survivable. -Stone Armor can be built with soft capped Defenses to all Typed damage (S/L/F/C/E/N.E./Psi) with capped Resists to Fire/Cold). Decent resists to everything else, PLUS a decent amount of Regeneration to boot. All this WITHOUT Granite. I just hit 50 with my Stone/Rad Melee tank, and it's a BEAST. (very end hungry). - Ice Armor is fun. Maybe because I don't see many other Ice tanks? Or maybe because without even trying you absorb ALL the aggro. Not a little. Not some. But ALL. Icicles and Chilling Embrace work together to make sure mobs stay focused on you. Pretty easy to cap your defenses to S/L/E/N.E. VERY hard to hit soft cap to F/C. it *is* possible depending on your secondary and if you want to chase those bonuses. I've ran 1 tank that had Ice Melee. The slows are nice, but on a team, you don't really get to sit back and brag about how slow you made every enemy. It is a nice powerset, and does pack a decent amount of damage. I enjoyed it, but on teams, I really couldn't tell that my slows really impacted my, or my team's, survival. I admit, I've never ran Stone Melee. So I can't comment on it. I would ask yourself if you want a damage toggle or not. If the answer is yes, then that rules out Invuln. Of your choices, and your goal of being survivable and being hit as little as possible, I would recommend either Invuln/Dark or Stone/Dark. Invuln/Dark gets better with the more mobs around you....fueling Invincibility. A fully saturated Invincibilty would give you between +10-16 more Defense To All, and an additional +20% To Hit. This can get you soft capped defenses to S/L/F/C/E/N.E., all while having capped Resists to S/L, and VERY respectable resists to everything else (well, maybe not to Toxic/Psi, unless you specifically chase those bonuses thru IOs. Of course, you should also be able to stack 2 MotT Resist Procs, which would get you capped to all but Toxic/Psi). Couple this with Dull Pain, Siphon Life, and dark's -to hit, and well....you ain't dying. Pretty much the same thought process goes for Stone/Dark. You can already build it with those soft capped Defenses (plus to Psi!). Decent Resists ( S/L around 60+, E/NE 30-35%, Toxic around 75%, Psi 15-20%, and capped F/C). You have Rooted which can give you an extra 10-16 HP regenerated every second, and Earth's Embrace (Heal/Increase Max HP), which furthers your regeneration rate. Stone Armor also has a Damage toggle. Can't go wrong with either one of those combos. Here's a quick build I threw together for invuln. This is 4 mobs fueling Invincibilty, and 1 stack of MotT +Resistance Proc.

Appreciate the shout out @Sovera. Not only is Gloom a good ranged attack, it opens up for Darkest Night, which debuffs enemy damage by 30% and debuffs their To Hit by 22.79% (how I have it slotted). I figured To Hit Debuffs are always nice 😎 OTOH, I did run at one time Focused Accy and Physical Perfection. The added To Hit, ACCY, and +Perception is always welcomed. Physical Perfection also becomes a great spot to drop a few Procs in. Can't really go wrong with either way you go.

I've read Hemorrage isn't that good. When I look at your build it shows this... Am I missing something? Also, does the Perfect Zinger proc in AAO fire fairly consistently/reliably?

Ablative and DNA Siphon are too good of powers to skip. With Ablative, not only is it a heal, but it gives you an Absorb "shield". DNA Siphon, likewise, is a Heal, a damaging power, adds End to you, and does -Regen to all it hits. IMO I wouldn't even think about running Bio without these 2 powers.

Admittedly, I rolled my first Savage Melee toon tonight. So....I don't know much about it yet. Just playing around in Mid's, I came up with this build. Soft Capped defenses, a bit better S/L resists (but your other resists are better than mine), and I think this build regens a bit more. I have a Shield Tank, and I did not take Hasten. The reason is that I HATE having to click a mez power, so since only one power can be put on "auto", I have Active Defense set on auto. I know...I know...it would be easy to take Hasten and have it on Auto and just click Active Defense. I *think* this build would do a bit better damage. Again, I am unfamiliar with Savage.

Bio, on a Tank, is sturdy. VERY Sturdy. You can soft cap most of your defenses, especially if you are in Defensive Stance. Every power in Bio is pretty much a must have. You'll also wasnt to chase recharge so you can get your 3 main "clickie" powers back ASAP. Check my sig for a quick explanation for Bio I wrote up some time back.

Here's my WP/Staff Tank. I went with Staff for a few reasons, one of which is at combo level 3, in Form of the Body, if you use Sky Splitter you gain a fairly nice boost to your Resistances. I was able to softcap my Defenses to F/C/E/N.E. With 1 mob fueling RttC, I regen 103.54 HP/Sec. Fully saturated I'm at 161.13 HP/Sec. With these Defenses and Resists, and healing that much per second, it's hard to take down. Against AVs, you can drop Darkest Night to further your survivability.

I think WP/Katana would work for a Jedi. Here's one that has soft capped Defenses to Lethal/F/C/E/NE/Melee, with capped Resists to S/L. All while having over 3k HP and regenerating right at 94 HP/Sec with one foe in range (a fully saturated RttC would yield amost 152 hp/Sec). Once you get the Freedom Phalanx, Portal Jockey, Task Force Commander, and Atlas Medallion Accolades, you'll be looking at 3389 HP, and a fully saturated RttC getting you 170.6 HP/Sec. That's pretty darn tough to beat. This Hero build was built using Mids Reborn 3.2.17 https://github.com/LoadedCamel/MidsReborn Click this DataLink to open the build!

That's solid. One thing that I see is it looks like you only have 4 pts of KB protection. If you are in Form of the Body, and at Level 3 fire off Sky Splitter, it gives you a boost to your damage resistance. This, coupled with the MotT proc will EASILY cap all your resistances. Your lowest resistance will be Toxic, and it's still at 96.12% . You might be able to swap out and put 3 pieces of Gladiator's Armor for the KB protection. Or Drop 1 Shield Wall (End/Recharge) from Cloak of Darkness and put in the Karma: Knockback Protection.

I'm not sure if I wouldn't build a Bio/Dark like this... I'd take Ageless for the DDR (on any Bio tank).

WP is another strong powerset.

I've sung the praises of Bio since day 1, and people thought I was crazy. 🤪

The only scrapper I have is an Energy Melee/Ninjitsu. It is a solid choice. With Energy Melee, it's mainly ST damage, but WOW! The crits are insane! And while it's mainly ST, Ninjitsu gives you enough defense to dodge most attacks while you're slaughtering mobs one by one. The Heal and the +end recovery are Godsends, as they recharge just quick enough that you'll have them up when needed. The most fun part about this combo is seeing when ET or TF crit, and you brag to your teammates about doing 1200-1500 points of damage (or more). It's flashy enough to keep your interest, but not a "I'm the absolute best ever and nothing will kill me". It's nice having a bit of a challenge. It keeps the blood pumping. Will you die? Maybe. But IF you do, you can guarantee that you made it difficult for the enemy to do so, and you took several baddies with you. I've been thinking about making another scrapper. However I'm almost afraid I'll be disappointed in any other combo. global name is Scarlett Angel

Does Irradiated Ground (Rad Melee) interact with Fury?

My main is a WP tank. If I were you, I'd try to fit in the Impervious Skin: Status Resistance/Regen. That alone will give you an extra 25% to your Regeneration rate. Also, the Unbreakable Guard: +Max HP greatly benefits WP also. You could drop Stamina down to just 2 slots (I have Power Transfer: Chance to Heal Self and Power Transfer:End in mine). This will give you a chance to heal some of your hit points, plus give you +6 % to your regen rate). Strength of Will only had a duration of 120 seconds, and recharges in 300 seconds. I did not take it on my Tank. You could mule it and put the Unbreakable Guard: +Max HP and the Impervious Skin: Status Resistance/ Regeneration in it. Soul Mastery works well with WP. Have you thought about taking it instead of Mu? Gloom is a solid attack, and when things get rough, you could drop Darkest Night on a target. If you slotted it with 3 pieces of Dark Watcher's Depair, that'd give you an extra 22.29 HP, +2.5% End Recovery, and debuff the enemies' damage by 21% and their To Hit by -15.95% ( which would really help WP out). Just a few things I saw at first glance. On my tank, I focused on Max HP, Regen, Defenses. Off the top of my head, I believe he has soft capped Defenses to F/C/E/NG, close to capped S/L resists, and a fully saturated RttC gets my Regen rate up to 205 HP/Sec. WP definitely benefits from the accolades that give +Health. - x

So, I'm making a Corr, and decided on /EA (hoping to team). I'm unsure what primary to go with. Dark seems like a good idea with the -to hit, but seems like poor damage. Archery...mainly just for RoA (and I haven't played it since it first came out on Live). Ice because of Blizzard mainly. I thought about Seismic bc I haven't played it, but I'm not sure how well it will scourge. Input anyone?

The other thing? Which one you talkin' about? 😜

Rub it in why don't ya? 😁

Debating on pulling the trigger on a Dark/EA. Thoughts on this combo?

Looking over TA, and it seems like a great addition to a team. Especially since Acid Arrow lowers the enemies' resistances to debuffs. Interesting... And even thought I have /EA on a couple of MMs....can never go wrong with it.

Thanks @Bill Z Bubba. I've been following that thread as well. I already rolled a /Poison, but someone told me that it sucks (have to be in melee to benefit from the T9, and a Corr couldn't survive in melee). I love EA on my MM. Not sure if i want to have an /EA Corruptor since i have 2 MMs with it.
