To this day, I always turn off all powers and jog back to Ms. Liberty (usually from PI or DA), to train up to Level 50...

LOL, see sig for "FRMRBRWN"

Just remember: "Halitosis is better than no breath, at all"...

Other than my only farming Brute (classic Spines/Fire), this guy was researched and built, since Energy Aura armor isn't available for tanks, so my experience consists of exactly two broots. Great defense (Neg e- and psi holes, as previously mentioned) and killer ST damage. I cobbled it together from several sources, so not remembering who I should give credit to, but here's the build: https://www.midsreborn.com/builds/download.php?uc=1526&c=693&a=1386&f=HEX&dc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m a tanker, so I'm sure there are some broot wizards who could make it even better...

And extra props for the Martial Arts moves in granite armor 😆

Oh yes, here's mine ("Mace to the Face")... https://www.midsreborn.com/builds/download.php?uc=1578&c=725&a=1450&f=HEX&dc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s: No procs, no Incarnates

Rage does not stack, with my build, but the downtime is only as long as the 10 sec. delay in damage, so it works out well. Only one. I have Hasten on auto-activation. Not a very "clicky" combo, so having to watch for Rage is no big deal. I don't ever need Dull Pain, unless it's to cover blue patches or the other rare unresistable damages. Slow to solo farm, but is a boon to any farm for the herding ability. I have two accounts and put NUT on follow, with Footstomp on auto, and dual box with my Spines/Fire Brute. Drops a +4/8 Big Mobs Tunnel fire farm by about 3-5 min. vs solo with the broot. Yeah, 8-900 million build, but well worth it.

It's called a "Controller" for a reason? 😁 Per the previous comments, you can proc out the holds, that have damage attributes. My only "real" controller is a remake from Live. Ice/Emp. Pre Jack Frost (or ex-ed down), the damage is pathetic, but I didn't create him to solo...as was the philosophy of pre I-whatever Live...the best strategy was a balanced/mixed team. He rocked the house, being able to buff the melee toons with Fort, unlock anyone with Clear Mind, buff the entire team with regen and end and lock down the bosses with ST Ice Block (along with a giant ice patch to create a flopping fish mayhem for all the baddies). There are some days that I miss those days....

I, for one, can certainly attest to that.

@JRanger?

And that's why I usually fall back (exemp down) on tanks. Just be the aggro magnet and the whole team benefits. 😁

Gotta go with the classic Inv/SS, but there are many other combos that are just as tanky. Almost any Inv combo, Stone combo and Shield combo can be made virtually indestructible, in the absence of unresistable damage (like the blue patches in TinPex). Key is to have plenty of DDR, for any defense-based build. Props to @Infinitum and @Hyperstrike for the template that I used for NUTCRCKR, and I run him, when the team needs a "max" tank. He is also built to support the SG in fire farming...so there's that. Other than not paying attention, during the last TinPex for Tanker Tuesday, I cannot remember the last time he was defeated. Tanks +4/8 ITFs, without breaking a sweat. Even without incarnates (but with Invincibility saturated w/ 10 targets), the defense numbers are just silly: With Resilient and Melee (T4) incarnates: https://www.midsreborn.com/builds/download.php?uc=1621&c=775&a=1550&f=HEX&dc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

Which is why @Sovera's Fire/MA "Brunker" tank is so effective. I agree that paired with Shield, the MA benefits are largely wasted.

I'm 57 and bought CoH retail in 2004. At the time, I ran the game on an Intel Pentium3 800Mhz (EB designated Coppermine at a whopping 133 FSB) with RAM measured in MB...128 IIRC and a 32MB videocard. After a few months and new content/issue releases, it became a slideshow, with full teams on TFs. That drove me to build my first self-assembled system, an Intel P4 3.2 Ghz Northwood (OC'd to 4.1 Ghz. The Prescott version could OC a bit faster, but ran much hotter), with a "real" videocard (AMD X1950 256MB). Both of those had floppy drives and I bet the Pentium 4 could run two instances of Homecoming, today. 🙂

Here's my SD/WM tank. Just swap the powersets? https://www.midsreborn.com/builds/download.php?uc=1578&c=725&a=1450&f=HEX&dc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

Thanks to Pep Rally for leading the ITF. Eight tanks, 55 min. @ +3. Much fun and many levels were had. Welcome to the new crew! Also got to team with @SeraphimKensai, for the first time... 😁

I'll be on as MISSADVENTUR, and can form an ITF (WST) team, for anyone interested.

I took it (also decades ago) and passed! If memory serves, it's the Binomial Theorum of Probability. I would think that because the denominator would be 59, it would be 99.9%-ish.

Nope, add me to that list, but I have one column with a rez, breakfree and the two most other emergency needs, for that particular arch/toon.

Very worth it.

I picked War Mace for my Shield tanker, and it is a very enjoyable combo. I think the greatest benefit of MA is the +Def, which is completely wasted on a properly built SD tank. I have non-SD tanks with DM and Rad, and both are also good. DM is a bit slow, with really only one true AOE (but unkillable paired with Inv) and Rad is (IMHO) clunky, albeit effective. Best of luck, with whichever you choose!
