Biff Pow

I think a reasonable change is Hurl remains a single target attack but causes AoE knockdown like Gravity Control/Propel.

While I haven't done it on Homecoming (just don't have the time), making AE missions is a lot of fun and its own type of content. If you ever feel bored with the game, start making up your own stories.

I find there's a balance where chasing a certain bonus too much can hurt your build in other ways, or just make it not as fun. I see a lot of builds that skip fun powers (like Boggle in Psi Melee) because they have to fit in so many pool powers. My Blasters generally end up around 30% defenses and that works great. If I tried to push it into the 40s I would have to give up offense or utility and end up worse off.

My Inv/SS Tank now has a 90% damage bonus with Rage running instead of 100% which barely makes a difference except I really liked that round number. (Yes, I could find another 10% in bonuses but I like my build as is.)

I think the Tech power pool should be Power Armor instead of Gadgetry, with Iron Man-type powers. A blast that can come from your hands or eyes, flight with rocket effects on your feet, maybe a +ToHit targeting computer. Also add an aura like the H.U.D. display but more solid so you can have a faceplate that flips down when you're in combat.

This is especially true with Shield Defense, because it really doesn't need many slots beyond the two main +Def powers. True Grit can wait, Phalanx Fighting isn't very effected by enhancements (not at all when solo), Active Defense and Against All Odds don't even use any IO sets (except Taunt), etc. It's a good set to go all-in on offense.

For unkillable with no FX it's hard to be Invulnerability

My Shield/Justice Tank is just at level 35 right now, so don't consider me an expert, but my strategy has been six-slotting my attacks so I can use IO sets like Touch of Death and Mako's Bite for the positional defense. My defenses are around 38% right now, which I feel is pretty good for my level and that I don't use the Fighting Pool. For endurance I just have the Miracle +Recovery in Health, which makes a difference but I will get low if the fight goes long (like Freakshow with their healing/rezzing.)

Do you have attacks slotted? I find sometimes when people complain about endurance on Tanks it's because they're barely doing any damage with their attacks. Or they're running Hasten when they don't really need it.

A lot of this kind of stuff is covered in Day Jobs.

Same, the only ones I keep are the passive boosts and Blessing of Tielekku.

Willpower definitely helps with endurance as you're leveling up, but overall I find Invulnerability to be a lot stronger.

When you start in a new zone, zip around and get exploration badges. If you don't know where they are, defeat some enemies until they drop a tip. Each zone gets you 5 Reward Merits, which you can use to buy 10 Enhancement Unslotters. Sell those in Auction House and you'll make 600 thousand-plus every few levels.

Super Strength Epic Power Pools! Sentinels can already get KO Blow, so what the heck.

/Energy has some heavy hitting attacks, it's very satisfy to move in and destroy the Bosses. I like the classic Energy/Energy but Sonic/Energy is also fun and great for soloing (most due to Siren's Song.)

I think you'd be more effective and having more fun if you put most of those slots into your attacks. You take a lot less damage when you defeat enemies faster.

Most of my characters have a weakness to Radiation debuffs.

I think the closest to making this possible is replacing the boulder in Hurl with the random objects from Gravity Control/Propel. Sometimes it would be cool, sometimes it would be weird.

Super Strength gets talked about a lot but since it's such a popular set I don't think any big changes will ever be made. Even changes that seem really positive still get lots of pushback. So my suggestions are fairly minor: Jab and Punch need to do more damage than Boxing and Kick. Super Strength attacks should not be weaker than power pool attacks. I'd maybe change Jab to a one-two punch like Barrage. Make Hurl's knockback AoE like Propel (from Gravity Control.) I agree about leaving a mark on the ground, this is something I like about the Mighty Judgement power. This one will probably be unpopular but: remove Rage's damage and defense crash and increase the Endurance crash. The forced ten second timeout feels kludgy, but if you have to stop attacking to prepare for the crash it feels more like active endurance management.

I made a character like this before. It was cool but I missed Fly too much. This build also adds Super Speed, for the concept and also the Slow Resistance IO. (Keep in mind the defense from Invincibility might not show correctly at first) Invulnerability-Super Strength-Leaping.mbd

Yeah, Fire Blast is just all damage, no crowd control. Most blast sets at least have a 'torrent' power for knocking enemies down, some have even better control like Sonic Attack's Siren Song.

It's hard to beat the sheer power of Energy/Energy Blaster. To be more of a team player you could always take the Leadership Pool, Energize makes it easy to run lots of toggles.

A while ago I started a Water/Earth Blaster named Molasses Man, and used the Slime aura to be extra syrupy. But I guess I got distracted by other characters and deleted him.

What really helped me enjoy Blasters is control powers. Siren's Song in Sonic is a big one, it almost feels like a cheat, but really any Torrent power helps too. Knock everybody down then run into melee range while they're getting up.

This isn't really true anymore, Invulnerability's base Psi resistance is only 5% lower than the other non-S/L damage types. So you can slot the Impervium Armor IOs, but there's other options. I prefer six-slotted purple sets so you get the 6% Psi resist, plus 6% Toxic resist, and also 10% Recharge at the fifth slot. My Invulnerability Tanks generally have over 70% Psi resist without using any Impervium Armor (and also before the Might of the Tanker proc).
