LoL yes, his name is Shrug. I failed to change it in mods.

Ok, here is my build. I have played around with many options. It seems grabbing def is the most difficult. I believe everything is turned off that would skew the numbers.

I totally understand where your coming from. And I will double check. When I use mids I am constantly going back and forth messing around to see what kind of numbers I get for kicks and giggles. I team mostly and usually I am not too concerned about min/max. No ill will or shade thrown. Im sure there was something on or in effect that I didn't account for. That being said, I guess my question was do I go for regen and neglect def/res?

Ok what I focused on what sets that offer regen/end/+hp. To be clear I never claimed I had maxed out def/res. To the contrary they are most likely suffering. Once I get home I will post the build with the regen.

Im pulling plus 600% regen. Not sure if thats a good number versus reversing course and re-focusing on def/resists.

I have been playing around with mids and I'm not necessarily a mid / max guy but I have focused on different aspects of multiple builds. A few questions for those who run ice. Is there a benefit to focusing on regen and health? I can get some pretty good numbers regarding resists so I thought maybe a more balance approach or go all in on healing / regen. Thoughts?

I am going to post my build. Its not finished and any feedback would be great. This build focuses on taunting and survivability. I am not worried about offense and would be willing to trade damage for more def/res.

Do you have a "proc" build you can share?

Thank you

I understand the ideas of a cap and such. How does it work or not work for recharge.

Hello all, so my goal here is to use the recharge bonuses and such to see how fast I can turn out damage with respawning my powers as quick as possible. Is this viable?

Lol, yes I didn't take rage. I guess my thinking was having one res/def builds and the other offensive. What does one do with the dual builds?

Curious what changes to defense?

Awesome thanks. I realize invulnerability is the way to go for "most" survivable. And yes all primary can be made to work. Trying to squeeze blood from a turnip I guess.

I'm looking to build out my Rad/SS tanker. My goal is build 1 to be damn near unkillable so I'm willing to trade off damage for survivability and play mostly with teams. The second build would be a solo build....damage damage damage. Please share any builds you may have. Thank you.

This is my current tanker I'm shooting for. The other would be the "most" survivable tank. Thanks.

Thank you all for the feedback. Thinking about it further, would combined Inv/Dark and Arctic Mastery be the essential build when trying not to get hit?

What power offfer a better choice regarding a secondary effect a damge power has in regards to survival? The minus to hit (dark melee), slow or minus recharge (ice melee) or knockdown (stone melee)? Looking to build a survivable tank (yes i understand all tanks can be good) using either stone, ice or invulnerability to pair with a secondary previous mentioned. If the goal was to be hit as little as possible what works best. Thank you.

Thanks for your feedback. I am thinking of optimizing this build / set more for offense. Initially i thought survivability but I can use a different toon for that. Where would you trim the fat?

I had Mids on my computer then it started getting all funky and not working. I have removed and reinstalled a few times. When I try to open it it shows the main screen then nothing...thoughts?

So it's not worth it?

Thank you for your response. I understand your points about each power set. DM always offers a set of skills that balance SD and to a degree so does Rad but not as much.

Rolled a few different shield tankers thus far. SD/DM SD/RAD and SD/MA. I am asking those who have rolled tanks with these combos what their thoughts are on them. I can make all of them work concept wise yet DM always seem to just feel magic like so that seems to lean towards a certain way. I understand Shield is great on a tank and DM seems to offer the best utility of the secondaries yet MA does provide the def buff and it fits nicer in a way with shields (Captain whomever). OR is shield better suited for a scrapper? Just looking for help in what benefits shield offers to tanker versus other AT. I have plenty of tankers ready to move into the 50 zones and want to take focus on one or two and make sure I am not missing anything with these combos. Thanks!
