Thanks again for "X" leading, as they were the tallest of the six of us (and all of lvl 38, IIRC). Six (now nerfed) tanks took on a +2/8 Numina and finished in less than two hours. Big difference in the time it takes to complete the hunts, without a full team, for sure. I quit counting dings, but my (starting) level 36 tank ended at 38. Much herding and tons of fun.

I miss one flippin' Indom run...

Last month was Yin, so I guess it'll be Citadel. I'm 27 so everyone should be 25+ by now...

My pleasure and we had a blast. 59 minutes was a significant accomplishment (IMHO), considering only half the team was incarnated and with the aforementioned changes to tanking, ,especially in AOE damage. Our non-incarnated (and certainly non-kitted) tanks understandably struggled against +5 mobs, in the final couple of waves in the reactor chamber. All-in-all we had a successful mission with a WHOLE lot of dings 😆 As an aside, I didn't notice much difference on my electric armor tank. While running Focused Accuracy, I didn't notice a significant difference in end use

Second shout-out to @MsAligned, for the great Katie TF. Tons of fun and a good bit of leveling was had. See you, Tuesday! 😆

Pretty much anything, but considering your "two damage aura" criteria, I'd suggest: Bio/Fire or Rad/Fire. My best (pure damage) tank is Fire/Fire/Pyre, but not as durable as the Bio or Rad versions.

Hey! I resemble that remark...

What an enjoyable TT, our group had. We finished a kill-through +2 Numina in 1:13. Lots of dings and we had a mix of veteran and newcomer tankers (of various incarnated and un-incarnated levels) and everyone pulled their weight, especially during the (usually) grindy hunt missions. The team knocked it out of the park, with their efficiency! Special kudos to @ZemX for his (usual) outstanding herding/pulling to the group and we had no defeats, until the final mission, where basically the entire map was herded to Jurassik's location...and we all understood we needed a "Witty" moment, to make a TTT complete 😁 See you Saturday on Victory!

Apologies for the late reply, but here you go: JAWBRKR v5.0_I27p5 update - Tanker (Invulnerability).mbd

For KD and other mitigation, add Stone Melee to your list...

Yeah, I was on leader "autopilot" with the +2/8, but you have to admit, until the shadow simulacrums, it wasn't too terrible. Having to fight ten of our caliber tanks, with only five, was a "challenge". 😆

I have great fun and success with Ice/Stone Melee. A dirty snowball of beat down, that's nearly unkillable with all the Def and mitigation.

You can copy the actual (.mxd or .mbd) file and paste it into your post. Mids' export feature is still wonky, with some versions, so this has become the fallback...

My apologies for last night, gang, as my ISP crapped out around 8:30...and I'm just now getting back on. We had four outrageous Brutes and were wiping the Virgil Tarkoss floor, until my untimely connection demise...

Thanks for the screenies, WB!!! And Will, in all his fiery glory...

Same! And I would have! 😆 I park my WP/Fiery on Torch (get it, Fiery on Torch...) and he made, what, VL130 last night? Yeah, happy to solo the big ugly robot. Agreed! I was honored to be part of that, with one of the absolute best herding leaders @Warboss. Destroy most and finished in 1:08. Epic.

That's exactly how I run my StJ tank. Breezes through "classic" +4/8 ITFs...

Here for you, bro, always! Witty's situation should remind all of us how fleeting life is, but also how blessed we are to have an on line family to share the fun (and escape) and comradery of this game. I appreciate the @Warboss's and @Ronin_Around's, that are keeping this community going. Humbled.and honored to be a small part of that.

Prayers to Witty and family, for sure. I lost my Dad on Christmas day 2020, so I can completely relate.... Having said that, we had a great night with five tanks on the PLV team and Tin/Pex. Completed both in about 70 minutes (didn't record the times for each), but much mayhem, tanking and levels were had. Didn't quite get to my goal of VL550 on NUT, but got closer! See ya'll next week.

Stone/Fiery tank. See @Sovera's sig (and posts). Nigh unkillable and near the top for damage. Scrap will do more damage, but no scrap armor will be close to being as survivable. Brutes suffer from not getting the tanker ATOs and some will argue they'll do a smidge more damage, but will be significantly behind the tank in survivability.

Our time supporting Cpt. Harlan was more, well, "electric", on TV2. Not only because it was Freaks, but I ran my Elec/Elec and scoffed at their attempts to debuff me. They did get @Warboss (only once), but since Witty wasn't on our team, somebody had to die. We finished (remember, the final waves in the reactor room are +5 or +6) in 46:01, one minute and one second past my announced expected time of 45 minutes. Great job to all as we had several non-incarnated tanks on the team. The herding in the Reactor Control Room was glorious as @ZemX successfully opened all four side doors and we had the entire room herded. My lens cap was on, so no screenshots. Maybe someone else got some shots...

Tanker, of course! Inv/StJ is just so satisfying. JAWBRKR is my version. Glides through +4/8 ITFs, like buttah.

My favorite S/L farms are the "Orb" ones by @Krimson. There are non-EB and EB versions. Both are on the Dreck map, so sitters are pretty safe. Dreck map also means LOTS and LOTS of baddies to vanquish.

...and it was. The first couple of missions were just a warm-up and I actually ran out of daggers with about 10 min. left in the final Reichsman fight. We were few but mighty and finished the entire TF in 48 min. Special thanks to @Pep Rally for keeping the peripheral AVs in the AOE goodness, in that final fight.
