PLVRIZR

Thanks for leading that, @cefnbar! We had a remarkable turnout on Excel, last night, with over forty tanks (last count and more were showing up after the teams began splitting up). I blame my complete failure to organize the league-to-team split on @Warboss (and my oversight that I still was in AE mode, from a previous farming run 😆). Team 1's eight tanks finished Ms. Lib in about the same time as the sewer run. We had Witty on the team, so didn't even try "Master of" settings. In full transparency, however, due to slow clicking, I (driving NUTCRCKR) was actually defeated by LR, once. How embarassing... Anyhoo, back to Torch, for next week. Citadel is one of the WST-s, so get ready for some kill all Council maps...

@Hyperstrike's "Mo Durable" Inv build. I'd suggest the NUTCRKCR (Inv/SS) build, but adds debuffs and fire farming perks, so may not be what you're looking for. I can tell you I'm bringing NUT on tonight's Excelsior MLTF Tanker Tuesday event, to tank Lord Recluse...😆

I'm not @Unclemarty but would let you know that personal preference on DM tanks is Avalanche in Dark Consumption...more target mitigation than the cone of Shadow Maul. That would move SGF into the cone, which isn't terrible 😁. I'd also change one of the Armageddons in Soul Drain to the damage proc. Same set bonuses but extra damage.

Could not agree more (amusing AND satisfying): Super Strength and Foot Stomp, FTMFW!!!

Oh, we did. Six tanks at +2 in 31 min. (and kill most if not all). I had forgotten how much fun Soul Drain with the Avalanche KD proc is 😁 Even nerfed to 30, I was never in even a sliver of danger. Remarkable build. Thanks again, Hera, wherever you are. https://www.midsreborn.com/builds/download.php?uc=1460&c=728&a=1456&f=HEX&dc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

Soon to be known as "GenericHero562548745"

Great idea! P.S. The Big Mobs Tunnel farm is better 😁

Bringing my Inv/DM tank to TT, tonight (homage to Heraclea) for (probably) Yin...or whatever. He's (Hera's build), is a monster...

This is not even a max-optimized WP build, but barring +4/8 ITF DDR (and 801-death level DDR), tanks 99% of the game. 680% regen with 1 mob and 1,124% regen with a 10 mob saturated RttC. https://www.midsreborn.com/builds/download.php?uc=1458&c=718&a=1436&f=HEX&dc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

Check this thread out:

I miss when Rooted in Stone Armor literally meant you couldn't move. Wait, no I don't, that sucked donkey nads. (along with, what was it, Unyielding Stance in Invulnerability Armor). I'll echo the nostalgia of no travel power until 14 and the separate tram lines, but remember all those "features" were a way to keep me subscribing and drawing the timeline out further and further... Oh, and having to already leveled a 50, to start a Kheldian...

Well...you posted in the Tanker forum, so I'd say "tank". Tank AOEs were buffed, but broots get fury. Usually comes down to both can tank (but tank can, more easily, be made sturdier) and both will do damage (but brute will do more). I build most tanks for survivability, rather than solo play, so I'd vote tank. Here's one built before ToF was buffed (so doesn't include it), but is a framework that gives you an idea of just how tough a dark tank can be: https://www.midsreborn.com/builds/download.php?uc=1587&c=703&a=1406&f=HEX&dc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

Love me some Necro/Dark, if you're looking for secondary recommendations.

It was my pleasure. What a fun time and finished (with seven tanks) in less than an hour (59 min. 😛). @ZemX brought his newly minted lvl 35 and got the most levels out of it, I quit counting at three or four. If you haven't participated in a TT event, you're missing out!

So I went with Armageddon. Procs aren't affected by the Rage crash, so you can still do some foot stomping damage, during that 10 sec downtime (and Kick away to try to get the +recharge to fire 😆). Other than that, Hyper's builds are excellent and I used his and @Infinitum's ideas to make NUT. Slightly different spin in some areas: took Pyre Mastery for Melt Armor and ST hold Char (with the +absorb proc). Giggles in +4 ITFs and tanks LR. Walks through +4/8 fire farms without breaking a sweat. No, he's not a DPS monster, but that's not his "job". Here's the build, for comparison: https://www.midsreborn.com/builds/download.php?uc=1621&c=774&a=1548&f=HEX&dc=78DA6594594F135114C7EF6DA7504A91A59482850265E9021D5AC0C4353101312C3504D057527480C6A6346D2192A84FE2F2A6A8E133F815147DC22FE0C6A25F8145C5ED693CCCFF4C28E924ED6FEEFFDE39E77FEEB933F13B83CED9D9A1CB423A0752895C6E7A2A91BEAD65EDF1C57C229F5C480BBA2AAE5D9F1A9818189D985E3AA3464B49F161D5F4A036ABA5739A3A9C5E5A4CA5B56C6226994AE697BD3C1DD7529AA64E2E66E87E329FD5D273F979E11C5F5848A9635A22934CCF551883A1E4DC7C9E460E633499D1B45BD5C62DC54DE692085A7D2593BCA98E2F67B5E9782297D7B2CBF5E444A5DF8732FA93474E856E1121BA0B28C2E221362942E9B50A115344B74398AB749B78A21862D563D0F7086C7F088657980FC08F9441720645FE4244CB6F50F90396FC059DFFC04FF49055B02DEBA83444FB18D818073FD3229B19D9D60FB1A40F74F482DD3166147C1312A2941FB296B21D3BDB7098360EC11E2ABC8C0B1765398B217AA88BE5EC4D967F83E8F3E2894DF2546186AFF0613F4F3533FD60A41554297CA5B9AF955F11A16A07ACDB06EBB7C0C8267BFA026E51A66A69ECACAE54FF845833C41C015B87C1F657B019A38C2EF66E73BD44876A5F309F8375AB60FD33EEEC53D6A970B7599B7B14914F738656CED876953B4C8B3D92B7CEB382F4DBE4B9C1EC58C30F8EF01D6C3CE048FB5CE81ED84B9EBDD2D8265D78BB84215A297C1347924D7C6E7D017087D23473954A334FB6743079514B3BD81304158AE837ABF3BB715ADAAA98B560C005F693A70EAECED67109D5759E659E0343E79917C0F045D04F9982A6F7A051905D84B8B03E8ADC659EFCAEBB847A3ABCF7C0C87DF0E848A87C70A4BA81F6C4DE83874E21A26684E83AE574D1E45BE63B30A41CBFF77AA322CC4BA76D8591B1136209AC8F2BE653244A2F56EE3A8EDF70212310F74E884188FB8608DF1679037BD93982060476D1EF83824552AE21716015DC081FBF7C7AF884459D2E112D9662C5525FB1D45F2C95551D7F84F439FA6EC4CC0D737A6860CEACBB0A0635EE82656B8533AFFD058384A360305338F80F2841F346

My ghetto version of this is to use the TFs...just know that if you fake-start one, you'll actually have access to powers four (or is it five?) levels higher than the max (if applicable). The easier version is to level build, old-school style 😆

Wait, aren't' we already there? 😆

Manti was recently upgraded and the Crey got Paragon Protector "Elites". They have a wide variety of pain-in-the-ass debuffs. Rude awakening from the days of steamrolling that TF. I like the fact that the devs are attempting to steer the game more toward needing a variety of ATs and teamwork. Having said that, we did Manti on Tanker Tuesday, a few weeks back, and eight tanks had little problem at +2. +4 would have gotten ugly, however.

This is also me. I'm not the best or fastest farmer, but I invested much in my Spines/Fire farming-only broot, and can complete that map in about 15 min. The second 15 min. run gets me to 27 (and beyond)...😁

Glad you made an exception for last night's Tanker Tuesday on Torch! 😆

Got it, didn't see you (back to the camera) centered in the screenie 😁

My pleasure. We were few (six) but mighty! Finished in 1:17, which ain't half bad. Much fun, many Dad jokes and levels gained. FRZR even finished TFC accolade, as well! Thanks for organizing, as usual, WB. @Erratic1, didn't realize it was you as snakey. Great tanking!

My pleasure. Our team finished both at +2, right at an hour (unfortunately, no screenies). I realized that my titular toon didn't have those two badges, so I even moved and drove PLVRIZR from Indom, for the night. 🙂 Great fun and many levels and Incarnate unlocks were had. Several new tanks, who we also hope to see more.

Well, Pep did have the right mission/arc handy, so it was an easy call. 😆

The credit goes to @Pep Rally, for leading team 2. It only took the first mish (Neuron) of the MJ arc to get a couple tanks from lvl 3/4 to 14/15. We didn't get to Posi2, but Posi1 was a hoot. Further leveling and fun was had by all (and we avenged Witty - several times).
