PLVRIZR

Very well said and, ITF defines your last paragraph, exactly. My WP/Fire tank is 110% of everything needed, in almost any content, until ITF...then he gets shredded without Barrier...while my invuln tanks giggle that it "tickles".

Are we meeting in RWZ or as an LFG. Do we need the Vanguard badge?

Thanks. This is why I love this forum and community. You guys/gals are the best.

This makes perfect sense. Mace to the Face is my first ever SD tank (much less to 50), so it felt rather strange being stunned, only to be able to activate the power...I see the reasoning now. Also the reason why a moderately priced set build with only T1/T2 incarnates has me taking the ITF dark ambush at +4/8, with reasonable ease... Thanks, Invader.

I could not agree more. Why not an infinite number of autofire? 🙂

Why on Earth is this not a toggle? Even if it's perma with recharge reductions, Hasten and LotGs (etc.), why should it require taking the auto-fire slot away from the aforementioned Hasten, or any other power you want to self-activate? Every other tank, IIRC, has status protection as a toggle or auto.

Oh yeah! 🙂

June has five... 🙂 Tanker Tuesday and Tanker Tuesday Tour Info: 1st Tuesday-Excelsior 2nd Tuesday-Torchbearer 3rd Tuesday- Everlasting 4th Tuesday- Indomitable 5th Tuesday- ??? Special weekend run for Reunion/Europe

@Heraclea has been doing Inv/Dark for a long time, you might look at her build(s), as well.

Did get one shot...

Server issues yesterday reinforced my decision to keep a 50 tank on every shard. Only one non-50, and I just started him (sitting at 37, atm): Inv/SJ - 50 Inv/SS - 50 Inv/SS - 50 Stone/SS - 50 Willpower/Fire - 50 Dark/Dark - 50 Shield/Mace - 37

TTT, with the right color scheme. Ran this version for TT on Indom, last night. Never needed granite at +4/8 running missions against Praetorians, Arachnos, Carnies and Council. At Warboss' behest, I took the alpha from Marauder and we stomped him, Chimera, Dominatrix and I forget what other AVs, without much fanfare.

Epic fun was had by all. Thanks again to Warboss for "herding" all this together. Mission teams FTW!

Looks like Torch is the only shard up, shall we move?

I'm in on Torch and all others are showing GREEN! See you on Indom in 30 min (time for a quick farm or two :-)).

Hoping the server issue is resolved soon... Been itching to run my respec'd PLVRIZR on Indom!!!

This...and, I can't help tank for the team, faceplanted in the middle of the scrum...so I need to be upright, for as long as possible, to hold aggro (with taunt :-)).

Plusses: Auto hit, no endurance required to cast and you just look like a tanker, when using it, especially if you pause a second and let everyone watch you pound your fist into your palm.... I always take it and drop in a Perfect Zinger - chance for Psi damage, so it "hurts when it hits", as well.

Twas a blast! Tks for leading our team, Warboss.

Here's my go-to for the tankiest of tanks (laughs at the dark ambush in ITF at +4/8). You can save a few infl. by going with the non-Superior versions of MoT and GF, with almost the same survivability. I have built this tank with SS and SJ...SS just feels more comic book tank, to me (Although JAWBRKR with SJ is also alot of fun).

I'm totally old-school (pre-I1 on Live), so Invulnerability/Super Strength (or the permutation of Inv/Street Justice) is my go-to tank. Having said that, I also love my WP, Stone (non and granite) and Dark tanks... Only one I never had good luck with was an Ice/Axe (FRZR BURN) on live, got him to 50 and then didn't touch him again...

TY, Sir!

Is there a way to change this, or does it auto default to the name of the first character created on the account? Thanks, in advance!
