Spaghetti Betty

I'm going to throw a massive +1 to sticking the MoT proc in Storm Kick! You absolutely will be clicking Storm Kick a lot even at a high level, as it has insanely good DPA. It's quite easy to get 2 or even 3 stacks of the proc by just using Storm Kick regularly! For what it's worth, I usually throw the Gauntleted Fist proc in Crane Kick, as I tend to skip Cobra Strike and CAK is begging to be proc bombed!

Definitely lean all in on procs, and consider damaging options outside of Super Strength itself. Rage is going to massively inflate the damage and accuracy of all of your attacks, so keep that in mind! Some popular options are Cross Punch and Epic attacks like Gloom or a Hold of some sort. Skippables in Super Strength are Jab, Hurl, and Hand Clap. You don't *need* Hand Clap, but it is nice if you have an extra pick and want some kind of soft mitigation. Load up on FF procs for sure!

You're going to be fighting for so long!

This is actually just living on Brainstorm at the moment, but I plan on organically leveling it up on Live soon!

As funny as both of these are, they would involve picking more primary/secondary picks than the absolute bare minimum!

I decided to take this build and solo an ITF at +2x8! It was definitely one of the experiences of all time!

I'd play that!

I guess I could share my Ice/EM build for anyone that needs extra notes! rocket pop - Tanker (Ice Armor - Energy Melee).mbd This is one of my favorite Tanks! It hits really hard with proc'd ET, and I use RoP and Melee to hit RES breakpoints while in combat, usually sitting just under capped S/L and 80% E/N.

Nice!

The Blackberry Reaper, Radiation Armor/Battle Axe Tanker

You can build in exactly the same way and the Tank will be more durable and only sacrifice a tiny bit of damage over the Brute!

Hey! I just think it's neat giving the uneducated a little anxiety sometimes! It builds character! As for the OP, I do think there aren't very many terrible Tanker combos (YMMV on this), but there are absolutely some that require next to no input from the driver! Here are a few unique combos you could try: Rad/MA (Possibly the strongest all-rounder; goes even further beyond with advanced building) SR/Dark (Immortal in +4x8 by level 30; very straightforward) Bio/Stone (Hits like a truck and has spectacular CC in Fault; struggles a bit in early levels) Stone/EM (Slightly more advanced; good understanding of IOs turns this into a Scrapper)

I don't think I want Statesman to return as much as I wish he was more visible in progression content. It never really made sense to me, even from the early days of the game that the guy featured on the box is pretty much only talked about and hardly ever seen! It was very difficult for me as a player to care about him as an icon when the soonest anyone ever saw him was at the end of A Hero's Hero (correct me if I'm wrong). So when he died, I didn't really care!

Ice Armor is great! It's been one of my favorites since Live and has only gotten better with the addition of ATOs, other pools, and a greater understanding of IOs, There aren't many Tank armors that can potentially have softcapped DEF, mostly capped resists, and capped HP. There are just so many toggles to run, and depending on how you're running it, you might be running it a bit close waiting on that next Energy Absorption, but it gets the job done! It just kinda falls a bit short to massive -DEF and psi attacks! But just how prevalent are strong psi attacks, anyway?

I prefer a different kind of noodle in my mouth!
