Heheh....challenge, accepted! We'll decide the diff, once the team is formed. Min level 34, and bring something that's resistant to end drain 😆

I don't mean to oversimplify, but if you want the highest durability, why not go tank? Tanker ATO with Willpower means much better resistances than Brute.

Bummer, but I'm going to lobby @Ronin_Around for a FreakSpec, anyway 😁

Bummer but at least you're getting rich, right! 😆

"They" could be "we" if you would come out every now and again...we need a Hyper sighting! Yes it depends on turnout, but I can't remember a time where we didn't have a missions team, for all levels. Usually it is an incarnated 50 running PI radios or one of the Unai or Tina Mac AV arcs. Lower level toons can usually get 10 - 20 levels, in the hour and a half of the event. I think the record is around 30, for a level 1, brand new tank. Old school power leveling, like in the days before AE.

Fo' sho! Haven't run my Elec/Elec since the last time, either. Easy to queue him up 😆

All excellent advice.

That's my go-to for a damage tank. I've also had good luck with Rikti (for Accelerate Metabolism). Both have heals, albeit not really needed, but can aid teammates. One of the debuffers (usually Longbow) for AV fights.

I vote for that!

This is an older build, but one of my usual leveling builds, that was played from 1-50. Early on, it was clear I needed the enhancements, as (on a tank, at least) the minions went flying. I don't read every detail of all the updates, so something certainly could have changed.

Bummer! I can vouch for @Krimson's farms. Very well done.

I don't think "Just teh Council" (Dreck map) has -def. You can also search for "Orb", one of those also has EBs...

😆 and welcome.

As a tanker-at-heart, you are correct and it's because I also use this guy in general play. I'm no pro farmer, by any means, and if I want max reward I dual-box and drag a Inv/SS tank (Foot Stomp on auto) following behind a Spines/Fire true fire farming broot. To your point, you could drop the Panacea and Power transfer +HP procs, because the toon doesn't really need it for farming, and add back damage procs to Thunder Strike and Lightning Rod. Attack rotation is BU:LR:TS:CB:HP:JL:CI to open, then (with Hasten active) it's really a down the line button pushing of CB:HP:JL:CI:TS with LR when available. There's also Ion Judgement, every time it's up on a full mob.

My pleasure and we had a grand time. Eight tanks, I think five of us were incarnates (I drove FREEZRBRN, tonight), ran a +2/8 and finished in a respectable 40 min. with only the last mission not being kill all. Four of us then finished with a +4/8 Unai mission, where we pounded even more Council. 😆 Will miss Saturday, but see you next week on Everlasting, for sure.

Here's @Xandyr's....TANK build. I'm currently tweaking his build, as I work toward 50 with this pairing, as well. Bio_SS_Xandyr.mxd

Unless it stacks and no, nothing KB related, except what I posted. Last time I brought him to Citadel, with only 9 pts, I couldn't remain standing. Seriously, I stopped counting at 10 or 15 knockdowns. Last night, I routinely centered first (and thanks for rounding up the rooms, btw) and was taking bombardments of grenades and saw FREEM a half a dozen times, but only flopped twice in an hour.

Actually, I went with two more pieces of Gladiator's Armor (to go with the +Def/Teleport unique) in Temperature Protection, for 3 pts., which brings me to 12:

Tons of fun and done...in 55 min. We had an equal mix of incarnated and leveling tanks, running a +2/8, full team kill through (and Cit is kill most anyway). We did have a few defeats...well Witty was on our team... but only when a leveling tank took on a whole room. Much fun and some FREEM-ing was had. I took my Fire/Fire, for revenge from the last WST Citadel outing, where he was tossed around like a rag doll (with only 8 pts. KB prot) and just by adding the 4 pt BotZ piece, I was only dropped twice and only when I was soloing a giant room and the KB was massively stacked. Thanks to @ZemX for the laughs, on both sides of the coin 😆

One of my first-ever toons on Live was a NRG/NRG blaster, and I remade him on HC. I also modified the concept to an NRG/Martial/Force Mastery blaster and since that pantheon of Marvel heroes also trained in the martial arts, you might consider that combo.

It was my pleasure and we had a blast. Eight tanks, with only a couple incarnates, flattened Clamor (twice) in 38 minutes doing a +2 kill...err "arrest" most. We also had dings galore and driving my titular toon, PLV even got three more vet levels. We then went on to banish the map of Banished Pantheon and a bunch of Council chumps on two of the Unai missions. Fun times were had by all, in my humble assessment. Catch you all next week on Everlasting!

^---this If you gain defense, organically, through set bonuses where you're chasing other bonuses, fine. I don't focus on +def, on Res armor sets, because I exemp ALOT and when I do I don't have access to incarnates (where Ageless +DDR comes into play).

Grand time on the ITF, starting at +2 and dropping to +1 for the AVs, as half of the team (of eight) weren't incarnated. Still finished in right at 1 hr., with many, many levels dinged and much herding and mayhem accomplished. Two (or three?) SS toons and @ZemX's ice melee meant a non-stop barrage of foot stomping gloriousness. Did a kill through/kill most and even finished the towers and the vast majority of the final map. See you next week on Indom!

😝

Depends. 😆 I think it was i27p5 that it was updated (someone else fact check me, please). Since then, I still primarily use Consume for the endurance drain resistance, but I do hit it routinely (for the HP cap increase), certainly not for endurance recovery, specifically. Don't seem to need it. My favorite Fire tank (Fire/Fire/Pyre) has it slotted with a full set of Synapse's Shock, for the recharge and EN resistance bonuses. The movement bonuses, esp. speedrunning is nice, too.
