Here's a take that focuses on building as much Slow RES and recharge as possible without sacrificing too much bulk: This Hero build was built using Mids Reborn 3.4.7 https://github.com/LoadedCamel/MidsReborn Click this DataLink to open the build!

Thanks!

I've been working on a Crab too! And so are some of my friends. Seems like there's an influx of Arachnos Soldiers lately. Here's what I got going on. I wouldn't say it's "budget" but I showed this to a few players experienced with Crabs and they gave it a passing grade.

Thanks a bunch!

Can't go wrong with Tank. Better AoEs, less squish. And way better damage with procs

The evil nemesis appears! Commander Cupcakes, Arachnos Crab Soldier

Finally got around to making my Ice/Martial Dom. Here's Fleeting Bitterness Leveled up just a tiny bit to grab Stealth since concept is key, but won't be touching again until the 1st. And, as a bonus, the group I play with want to run a full team with randomly generated toons, so I have a second one as well. This is Lord of Skulls, a Fire/Bio Sent.

I really enjoyed the toon I got from this last year, so why not spin again? I got: Dominator (45) Ice Control (62) Martial Assault (62) wow, 2 62s! I look forward to hating this one! Yay!

Are you on mobile? Tilting your phone sideways makes them show up.

Feel free to Global me anytime. I'm pretty sure I still have space. I'm primarily on Excel but I can transfer if needed.

Fire Blaster with doublestacked Rage?

After your solo attempt, duoing it sounds like fun!

Well, my mind goes straight to Radiation Armor for Scrappers. Rad Armor complements SS so well that I would probably just roll that, even with Scrapper's lower armor values. I'd be hopeful that with Scrapper damage scalar, Punch and Haymaker wouldn't suck as bad so that I wouldn't feel compelled to pick up Boxing Kick and Cross Punch. Haymaker sounds like the obvious pick for Critical Strikes proc. For Stalker, I think SS/Inv is the choice here. Invuln is a really solid armor pick for Stalkers. But that's not funny enough. I want to AS (hide proc) -> KO Blow! Call it Assassin's... Crunch. Ok, maybe save that one for Teeth Melee.

Wait, hold on, I got it.... *inhales*... Ice Melee/Fire Armor

I don't see any problems with what you have here. Defensively it's really solid. All I can offer is some Spaghetti I threw together for you to pick at for ideas.

The Meta-Human Wrestling Association (Part 1) Arc ID: 44683 Hey chump, think you got what it takes to tussle with the best of the best? The MHWA is looking for up and coming supers that want a shot at the reigning champ! No jabronis here. You'll only be wrestling with the A-Listers, the Ring Vets, the cream of the crop. If guts, glory, and fame are calling your name, then sign up today! Author's Note: This arc is designed to be a formidable challenge for level 50 toons. It will test every aspect of your kit, so bringing friends or insps is recommended (or a very strong solo toon). The Meta-Human Wrestling Association Part 2: We Need Ratings! Arc ID: 48577 (This takes place a few months after the events of Part 1) Welcome back, champ! You've been enjoying a lengthy title reign at the top of the MHWA! While this has been phenomenal for your resume, it's been tanking the ratings of the show. The fans want fresh content, so we pulled out all the stops and hired you a new manager that's sure to pump up the heat. Can you outlast all of the challenges laid before you? Author's Note: Part 2 ramps up the difficulty sharply to test those who successfully completed Part 1. I am actively trying to kill you. Expect tons of shenanigans. --- For anyone that tries my arcs, thanks a bunch! I had to re-balance these until my SR/DM Tank couldn't live without breaking a sweat at +4x8, if that gives you an idea of the difficulty. Any comments are welcome.

Nothing specific. I would just like CoX to be bigger. Thanks.

No, it wasn't. Getting pimp slapped by Rom in the last mission was the issue.

To be fair, the group I run with will take on dumb challenges to just to prove it can be done (we were aiming for 90 min), but this is an example of one of our lengthy 4* ITF runs. Yes, it was a massive headache. No, we haven't stopped running all Blasters (+1 Kin) to try and get the time and deaths down. But yeah, I agree. Any combination of ATs can run Hard Mode content successfully with teamwork and determination. Should you be farming it for the reward? Probably not anymore. When people were buying stacks of PAPs for the inf cap, absolutely. But that time is long gone. The reward is the challenge.

Uhhh... Ok, talk about one of them. Well, this one is definitely looking to hold my interest for a bit. It's a Stone/Bio/Soul Scrapper. Most of my toons start as a concept first then build goals last. Thankfully, my concepts usually coincide with build goals. This one is gonna be geared towards maximizing damage as much as possible for the purpose of doing Hard Mode content. I'm not too worried about survivability on it, since the Barrier spam meta + the Absorb shield should cover that for the most part. It's fully IO'd at the lvl it's at now and already chunks damage like crazy. Here's the build for anyone curious:

Nothing you probably haven't seen before. My build would utilize Rune and Melee Core to maintain hefty (hard cap S/L and near hardcap for most except Toxic and Psi) RES. Your build's END usage is also stellar compared to mine, but I'm showing over 3k HP as a tradeoff. I have to question having so much melee DEF. Yeah, my DEF is a little low (just barely at softcap because I wanted other things). but in my experience, the only times you would need DEF that high is when there should already be a buffer of some sort helping close the gap. If you're fighting something that can hit through 85% DEF, you weren't gonna be able to solo it for other reasons. Just some food for thought. Hope I can help.

There was another thread asking for Shield/WM help not too long ago. This may help:

Personally, I would be leaning more towards the Tank. While it is true that TW doesn't benefit from the Gauntlet AoE increase, what does happen on a Tank is that you can maximize damage output through heavy proc slotting without worrying about your survivability taking a big hit. It is entirely within the realm of possibility hardcapping your S/L RES and softcapping E/NEG/F/C DEF while sitting in Offensive Adaption.
