My first 50 on Homecoming was a Shield/Elec Tanker. The combo of Shield Charge and Lightning Rod is just too much fun. Honestly one of the most “fun per click” heroes I have ever had. Plus, you just feel Godly 😂

I'd love to see this!

Appreciate it, you legend!

I’m a Scrapper/Tanker player at heart. Time/Rad seems like a real “in your face” Defender haha. Might suit me well.

Yeah, my hope on /Stone Armor for scrappers was that the mud pots slow would KIND of make up for the lack of a taunt aura 😕

I’ve been looking for a Water/Regen build… did you have a sample Regen build lying around somewhere?

Nice! That sounds like a sweet combo on a Dom. Time just seems like it does a lot, but I wasn’t sure if it’d handle the best on the top content since it is kind of a Jack of all trades, master of none. Power boosted defense seems awesome though. I have a Time/DP and a Time/Rad Blast I’ve been messing with. Not sure which to IO out.

Thanks for this! I’m thinking of trying to run a Fire/Kin or Elec/Kin. I hear Kin is super clicky. What are your thoughts on it?

Thanks for sharing this Darkir. I modeled my Water/Cold Corruptor after your build! Some questions on these: For the Dark/Fire combo, why would you suggest that on a Defender over a Corruptor? I’ve also looked at Kinetics, but on a Corruptor. What blast sets would you pair with it? Time seems SO good on Defenders… and is just overall a cool set. Do you know how it holds up in the new HM content?

Elec/Elec has been my fave so far. I’m a big fan of Water Blast… I hear it shines pretty decently on a Sent. Any secondaries anyone would recommend? I was thinking /Rad, /Regen or /Energy.

Sav/Elec is an awesome concept!

I have a Savage/Bio Brute that is very synergistic… I could see Sav/Rad being the same!

haha this brought me flashbacks. I think BS/Regen Brute was one of the best PvP classes back in the day.

*Crosses fingers they do all of the above for KM*

Absolutely, your point holds!

Rad Armor also gets a taunt on a Scrapper.

Nice call out, haven’t done a character with one yet!

Shame on me for leaving out those attack sets 😂

I’m thinking of rolling a Highlander inspired toon! Would love thoughts/ideas from you all. What archetype would you run it on? Primary I know is pretty much either Katana or Dual Blades. What secondary do you think fits best? I was leaning Electric Armor, but I think you could make a few work thematically (Rad/Willpower/Invuln/Etc).

Elec/SS and Elec/MA Tankers I feel are some of the coolest thematic heroes, period.

Honestly, BOTH those combos sound like a lot of fun. KM can fit a lot of themes. My KM/Ice has everything colored blue and white and is kind of a "Cryomancer" like Sub-Zero.

haha nice man! I'm gonna have to dig my Elec/Elec Sent out.

Haha, you digging the changes?

I know EM is pretty classic for it, but I wasn’t even thinking about Stone. Gonna have to give it a look!

Since you’ve ran a few /Rad scrappers, any primary you’ve enjoyed the most with it?
