LOL and Amen, brother!

Nice to finally get a chance to team with you (AVLNCH during missions). I've followed your posts and builds, with great respect. Glad you had a good time!

My pleasure. We did the "Freak-spec" (kill most) in 46 min. Much leveling and great fun was had by all. Missions after were also awesome, thanks for leading that mish team, WB.

I do run stone melee and also have the MoT ATO full set in Icicles. Near perma single stack and, as @hakurr reports, often double stack. Absolute aggro-magnet, pulling aggro away from other tanks, so make sure you're super tanky, as EVERYTHING will be focused on killing you😆

^---this. I, too, run the "Big Mobs" Tunnel fire farm (by Big Gotter) with my old but trusty Spines/Fire Broot. Go three groups ahead and come back to a column. Very tanker-ish herding technique mitigates the "stand around and lob fireballs at you" mobs. Still dual-box by dragging one of my Inv/SS tanks with Foot Stomp on auto. Very clearly not the greatest farmer, but can run that map in about 14 - 15 min.

Yes, we were few, but we were MIGHTY! Happy to help and when it's this much fun, it's not really work 😁

I can do 10:30 CST

Some more ideas, but with Energy Mastery. Went after Melee def (42%) and S/L Resist (88%). Not as tanky as my Elec/Elec tank, but alot more damage. https://www.midsreborn.com/builds/download.php?uc=1738&c=745&a=1490&f=HEX&dc=78DA6594DB4E53511086FFDD6E28B445C002050139C8192905F45E1488024D9A98182D60D3E0169BD496B405E5017C016FBCF24A8EFA087AE9A5BE81891A6F3C4BA2A246613B5DB3071665274DBFB5FE997FCDCC3E44EE8EF95FBE983E07C3772195C8E5E2E7B34B79AB2CB2944FE4939934E8F2C762A3A3D16834BE3C120A7B68A349C5C42356CAB242E3296B3E9F4DCE2752BCE18863D64D2B9D3B90E3A3D9DB992CFCD14C26159AB6128BC9F442855A4C24176EE569E555ABCB8B9675C3C742AAA0348C2F26E743E3692BBBB0128F2472792BBBC245D653295DF4DB2D140903CE65970071FAEF36E1C27581390613B302330CA588313C3AE4A26CCE1A4E4898A10C430223044326BC382330CCB0A75CB46A0CCCB995720CB30C55981188311CC73581AB0C36E5BA751B77615D506A60BB1CD863A8C3AEC03F867AFC6558A5DC1243B32981CF7442BC0C27502E50C6D08452010FC31AE57AF4D978F087AA69367112BF047E0BEC70A1ADF829F083619D72CB351BB35C94566543D026496DCA4F81E35768C307AD081FEE18EAC85358165812C83374E01DB7D0811CEF04E911AED06C68F18A87B541CB4AAD3C5422C839851B51AD8FB11A5B2EC7769DA10BAB021B029B0CDD586370934340BBA9EE00A6A00EE8C6A4C025865E5C647051BDB5DAD9A8C53DC78E94A056AF3B28E3EC9529F6CA5CFB649C9B14D9A037D9800128C524BB464D7135D2B94E7295408061AB509B3E90667C61FFD3F82CF049E023C3003E08BC67A097032DFA405AA4B701BCE59041BC1678C3F09822DB0F5E559B16FDDCC113FAEBD46F6D278639A79D7AEBD114A347720605EA28A45F6FBF5FDA1FC294DB81EF0CDE6A20A41F14A2C754297E52C2DA608C301EB89CE4FB0C13E6E10F8DDD6442BF6CB569DB983EBA5FCA1651537720C540239FFFC57BD89C7ECEEDFD7A54E961E59B520E6AA633DAB84F3FAE180E4CF2976FBB289668C7743E6FDB0CCFFB0EBF60766D0DD487737FC32EDE7818A00D3D652A5014F1AC38E269BB8AD87F0AECFFFE60D907

Maybe for this event we should announce in GMT.

NP and wow what fun. Seven tanks finished a kill-most in 41 min. Also glad to see some new TT-ers. Welcome!

Great, thanks for the compliment. 😆

Here's mine, for comparison. @Zect, I haven't done the I27p5 reshuffling of powers, so what pointers can you give me on this one? (and yes, I think moving one of the Build Up slots to Hasten to make it near perma is probably a better choice) All standard IOs are also +5'd, in game. https://www.midsreborn.com/builds/download.php?uc=1858&c=784&a=1568&f=HEX&dc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ith Resilient (Core) Alpha and Melee (Core) Hybrid - one mob, the numbers look like this: Add one stack of MoT resist and he's nearly resist capped for E/N (89%) and Toxic (85.2%), 72% for F/C and 71% for Psi.

Tank (see sig for tank bias).

After 100 it's only for bragging rights. My highest is currently VL482 (NUTCRCKR).

...and it only matters until you hit VL 100, then you no longer earn Empyrean Merits (every third VL from 3 to 99). By then, you should be T4 in all incarnates and have enough "stuff" left over to make a couple more T3s.

It's in the in-game menu under "Personal Info".

With only four pieces of Preventive Medicine, it's a 814 HP bump (and 175% regen for 30 sec) with a 55 sec. cooldown ...in a build that doesn't focus much on recharge other than Hasten. When Hasten is up, it's 42 seconds.

Not available on the melee archetypes, but the speed attained from Kinetics (Siphon Speed) doesn't suppress, in combat.

Truly my pleasure! We ran Numi at +2 (except the first mish) and finished in 53 min. Much herding and shenanigans (and Dad jokes). What a great time. Thanks for the pics @ZemX!

You're referring to Dull Pain. Not only a great O-$hit tool, but you're so tough you can use it as a buff, for Max HP (a remarkable 3250 every 2-1/2 minutes, or just less than every two, when Hasten is up). If you want a super durable tank, especially once 50 and incarnated (nearly unkillable), Inv/DM is an excellent choice. The guru of that combo passed away last year, so I made this guy in homage to @Heraclea's original build. Have never taken him on HM content, but tanks +4/8, with no problem. https://www.midsreborn.com/builds/download.php?uc=1706&c=778&a=1556&f=HEX&dc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

Only one (since I'm a tanker at heart), Electric Armor/Electric Melee/Energy Mastery/Ionic Judgement. Had to try EA and it doesn't disappoint. Not top tier durability, but, like a well-built Fire or WP tank, easily tanks 98% of "normal" content.

"Outlaw" much?

Welcome back! As Gobbledegook mentioned, Battle Axe got a significant buff with the I27 page 5 release, so Broadsword may seem "lacking", but it's still a good set (lots of -Def). Any +Def it offers, however, won't be needed with a properly built SD tank, for sure, but every little bit helps, right? 😆 On that note, a properly built SD tank will easily handle +4/8 (non-Hard Mode "star") content, including ITFs. NO tank will survive 3 or 4 star HM ITFs, without external support, so don't focus too much on that. Roll it and let us know how it goes!

From the clipboard. I also run in full screen mode. I use a Radeon graphics card, so just need to use the application to film, record or snap, so that may be my final answer.

Thanks so much for these, they are awesome. For some reason, my main gaming PC only captures the CoH log on screen (obviously long after I've logged on the game), when I try to "prt sc". Also nice seeing you at the TT event and teaming with you again @Spaghetti Betty, maybe someday we can get @Snarky to bring one of his tanks out to play 😆
