  1. I have a Rad/TW tank that is somehow the tankiest tank I've played and seen.  The only thing to even scratch that tank was Lord Recluse at the end of a +4x8 Liberty TF that I was tanking while everyone else was taking care of pylons - and I don't even think I had max level incarnates.  I am at work, but I can post a build later.

    I think the most frustrating but most satisfying concept character I've made was my draconian necromancer from a dimension whose population are magic dragon warriors. Their genetics determine what kind of magic breath they can use: wind, fire, electricity, ect.

     

    My character, on the other hand, being undead, can swap his body parts, specifically the throat, with other dragons. He can breath fire, ice, acid and a burst of sound in the game although his concept would include water and lighting breath as well but those don't exist.

    Go on....

    My build experience is with incarnates, but none of them add to my end. With Radiation Therapy end is only a problem if I'm hitting all my buttons, don't have a crowd to fill with Radiation Therapy and am not paying attention. I also keep Recovery Serum in case I need it. I'm running the following:

     

    Alpha - Musculature Core Paragon

    Interface - Reactive Radial Radial Flawless Interface

    Judgement - To taste.

    Destiny -Rebirth Radial Ephipany

    Lore - To taste. 

    Hybrid - Assault Radial Embodiment.

     

    I think my last question!  You took Radial over Core for your Hybrid.  Does the doublehit proc often enough to outweigh the near constant uptime of Core (because dots)?  I was leaning toward Radial, but then I had to read about it and now I'm more confused than I was originally lol.

    You could always have Build1 as super Tanker and a dps Build2 for the other 99% of the content which it is more than tough enough for. Expensive though having 2 builds.

    I have no problem tanking just about anything in the game. Something that I think is vastly underrated is the use of inspirations. On a +4 MLTF I'll use a purple or 2 when I tank Lord Recluse. No biggie and that tough enough mentality allows me to do a sick amount of damage. I will say with the changes to the yellow pylon on MLTF you need to go in ahead of your team to get Recluse's attention, because he's harder to hit and this build doesn't run taunt. Also, something to note, is that you have to keep an eye on your end because you use a lot (especially if running double rage) and you'll crash if you aren't paying attention.

     

    Hmmm...  I will think on these things.  @Glowman I take it your examples include incarnates?  Do you use any end modification incarnates to help?

    @Ghimel How do you define tanky? I just tested ScarySais build on the testserver and soloed an ITF 0/8 no problem in about 45-50 minutes. Had to use an inspiration here and there but nothing special and maybe not even necessary.

    I also ran a couple of radios missions and some random other ones and had no problem at +4/8. Even AVs and GMs are doable without much problems.

    @Aizbaer Good to know.  Is Rage crash a problem?  I saw that you can have it double-stacked.  Is the gameplay with this tank based off of perma-Rage?  If that is the case, I guess I'm just worried that I'll be relatively squishy because of the constant Rage crash whereas on my Rad/TW, I rarely even take damage.

    This build birthed Glowman and just about killed my desire to alt. Thanks a lot @Gobbledegook. 😉

    How tanky are these?  I have a Rad/TW IO'd out that is super super tanky, but am interested in testing the Rad/SS proc build for damage.  I can tank ITF and Miss Liberty like a breeze with the one I have now but am super interested to see if this build stands up to the tankyness with all the damage.  Mostly because Momentum sucks...

  7. I have a Rad/TW build and I have a few thoughts.  First of all, I haven't tried making a "Proc Tanker" like most people recommend so I can't speak to that, what I can speak to is Titan Weapons don't do the damage they used to , so soloing +4x8 is going to be slow.  I do find it odd that you didn't take taunt.  Sure, you will be mostly solo and a good tank doesn't need taunt, but it just comes in handy when playing with a team since someone will always need rescuing.  You can ditch hover and fly for a skiff from the p2w vendor and pick up Assault for a 10% attack buff and Tactics for the +ToHit.  They're so worth it and with 3 slots in Stamina and Ageless maxed out you shouldn't be worried about End.

    I don't know how Invul works out but I can say that my Rad/TW is pretty much unkillable and I still wouldn't try and solo +4x8.  If you are super duper tanky but just don't have the DPS you're looking for, rebuild it as a Brute and tell me how that goes.

  8. Oh man, great write-up and yet now I feel a tad more confused.  Hmmm.... What would you recommend to someone who wants to solo the majority of end-game content?

     

    Edit:  What you wrote wasn't confusing, it was great.  It just provided more info than I was prepared for - but still super important to learn!  Thanks again.

  9. I have a WS that is full build and tons of fun to play, and I want to play a tank as my next toon.  First, I just want to swing a huge sword around.  Second, I hate carnies and mezz worries me at higher levels.  Lastly, I'd like to be able to solo as much as the game as possible, once slotted out.  As I understand, Rad is great for soloing, but Dark is best vs. mezz.  Thoughts?
