Just keep ablative up all the time. Use it before you jump in. Other two probably won’t need most of the time.

Can double stack the mez protection on shields to get to 70s I believe. Sr on sentinels hits 95 if you hit the 75 plus ageless. Believe stalkers don’t hit 95 without ageless. Scraps/brutes/tanks can hit 95 easy and should when 50 if slotted well.

I hate the word proc now cause it’s all everyone ever does with anything, but proc out ko blow. Slot rest as normal. If rage crashes it still does a little damage. My tank doesn’t have perma double I don’t think. Energy melee might be what you’re looking for though. Big hits. No crash. No footstomp though.

Oh, and resists a bit higher if you count the tank ato proc and 5% from barrier. Mids doesn't seem to like the tank proc right now so it doesn't toggle correctly.

The defenses are super overkill for most things. He is one of two of my tanks I run hardmode stuff on. He is tough as hell. "Jedi" themed toon so some stuff could be switched around of course. Master Thrax - Tanker (Super Reflexes - Katana) Final in game.mbd

More helpful that some posts.

What mission or arc? I find those missions easy but don’t normally solo.

It’s good but you’re not tanking on a scrapper with it usually. Use carapace before the action. My spines/bio usually kills them before I run out of stuff to keep me alive. Can’t solo the whole wall. But one group at a time is fine.

I’ve got a build I can share tomorrow assuming I remember. It’s an homage to Rambo though so not the most ideal power pool choices. It’s really fun.

The only person ever to say brute atos are better than tanks. Plus resist on sr tank is super handy.

Ummm….zero? This a trick question?

Setting up water jet is as simple as counting to three. It even has a circle that shows up on the power when it is ready to roll. It's super simple setting up. And it is a great attack, especially on a corrupter when it can scourge twice in a row really quickly.

Yeah I was thinking of wrong name. I still wouldn't skip it though. It boosts the -damage and +damage of tidal pool. I guess if you do have to skip something it is probably it though. I'd still lose a ST attack or something. I currently have epic pet but it sucks on defender I think.

Energy has a taunt aura on a scrap?

One runner confront is ideal for. Also having one ranged attack helps. A lot of armors have taunt auras as well not all do though. confront comes in super hand on ITFs when there isn’t a tank or brute. Or there is a tank or brute but they don’t take taunt themselves and just play like a scrap the whole time. confront is great. I don’t have it on all my scrappers. But it’s good when you have more powers than slots.

Combo pretty fun? Going back and forth between this and ss/sr. I have a shit ton of sr toons already so trying bio. He is all of lvl 4 atm.

sentinels don’t have snipes.

leviathan I think. On phone not in game. My dp/sr has it. It’s awesome.

Sentinels get KO Blow and scraps don’t. And Scraps get snipes but sents dont. ?????

Rage crash on a scrap would suck. Especially when trying to kill nictus things on hard mode ITFs.

I was talking about musculature alpha not the assault hybrid.

Pretty sure damage boost from musculature and damage boost from kinetics or others are separate.

I would never skip water jet. It is awesome. Can use it twice back to back.

Both mids and in game in powers says it does. Haven't tried tracking on an enemy but assume it does.

I would take the heal/debuff for sure. No expert on marine. Mine is vet 3. Just respec'd to this. I didn't go all proccy but went for high defense and resistance as well as perma power of the depths, or really close to it. Captain Thrax - Defender (Marine Affinity - Psychic Blast).mbd
