Rad/Claws tanker build... but should be a good starting point? Tanker - Rad - Claw - Farmv2.mxd

Thank you for the thoughtful responses. I will admit that I don't have my peacebringer slotted with sets nor finished incarnate powers. I've been addicted to my tankers since I first made one back on live (about mid-life of game, I started with scrapper). I have been enjoying my peacebringer quite a bit as I can fill in holes in the teams very quickly. I only see 3 things that my kheldian does better than my primary tank right now though. Damage beyond 40 feet, fast recharge on healing teammates, and better mez protection when in dwarf form. I would actually argue that the slot game is more complicated on Kheldians after you start getting sets because many sets have their best bonuses with 5 or 6 and having to look into alternate sets to not waste duplicate bonuses.

Another idea I had thought of, would be to have squid form boost range, damage, accuracy, and recharge but have resistance penalty. Dwarf mode increased healing, resistance, and defense but range and recharge penalties. Then have your full array of powers available in those modes and not have the "freebie" attack powers as someone said. As for the freebie powers... at higher levels, you need the slots in your powers for them to be worth putting them in your power bars. Some of my thoughts would grant benefits to stay in a form for more than one activation. I think we all can agree that there are also so many powers that should just be skipped. What are some of the powers people view as skippable? Any other suggestions to make some of them more useful? Would be curious to see your build Jasper.

tech pondering... which would be more possible? having the kheldian shape shifts modify your human powers into the current form powers, or linking powers together so adding a slot to radiant strike gives you a slot in white dwarf smash? make it so the form powers would suppress set bonuses from their linked powers? Nova Dwarf Gleaming Bolt bright nova bolt (available) Glinting Eye (available) white dwarf strike Gleaming Blast bright nova blast (none) radiant strike (none) white dwarf smite proton scatter bright nova scatter (none) luminous detonation bright nova detonation (none) solar flare (none) white dwarf flare reform essence (none) white dwarf sublimation Nova Dwarf Shadow Bolt dark nova bolt (available) Ebon Eye (available) black dwarf strike Shadow Blast dark nova blast (none) starless step (none) black dwarf step Sunless Mire (none) black dwarf mire Dark Detonation dark nova detonation (none) Gravity Well (none) black dwarf smite Essence Drain (none) black dwarf drain Gravitic Emanation dark nova emanation (none)

Redraw animation hurts spines a little bit. There was another thread talking about some AT staff set didn't have an option for no redraw which would impact effectiveness too. Lots of sets would benefit from animation time improvements. Why I always avoid Shadow Maul and Sands of Mu. The phase shift powers (Dimension Shift, Black Hole, etc) I think would REALLY benefit from becoming a time limited toggle (like Hibernate and Hybrid incarnates) I also really wish there were alternate animations for medicine pool. Like using animation from PB Glowing Touch for aid other instead of the tricorder.

Something with Kheldians that I think would be popular... Instead of turning off the toggles while in forms, instead suppress them and their costs so they don't have to sit around and turn them back on when they go to human form. I think that a full redo of them may be in order, and having the nova/dwarf powers behave more like combat stances or bio adaptations. The sheer numbers of powers to choose from leads to people not really feeling capable as they spread out their enhancement slots too thinly. (and the vast majority of the powers are probably never even used by experienced Kheldian players) Though it would probably be easier to make an entirely different archetype instead of messing with existing characters.

It might make sense to default everything to no redraw unless it pulls out another weapon. If that is possible... biggest downside on my spines tanker too.

My take on it (not the first build version, but what I'm working to slot) Tanker - Bio Armor - Spines v3.mxd

Also thinking to do a Rad/Spines tanker... https://www.midsreborn.com/builds/download.php?uc=1461&c=711&a=1422&f=HEX&dc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
