What @ZemX said! Honestly it seems like every tanker primary can have an area where they are the “best.” For me, across all content? I’d probably say I like my Shield Tanker the most. Positional defenses + some really decent resists underneath. Plus you can bring some extra defense you your team… what’s not to love? That being said, even though it is great all around, there is some content that my Elec/DM or Dark/Staff Tankers will breeze through that my Shield/Elec would struggle with.

Good call out!

I’ve had this thought as well. That being said, being a jack of all trades, master of none can sometimes make it a bit more difficult in the focused HM/4* content where you can plan on covering your one big hole, rather than a few minor ones. Also, WP completely lacks DDR. On the flip side though, it is one of the few sets that provides terrorize protection. I think it has a tougher time solo, but (theoretically) I imagine it could be an absolute monster with the right team behind it for the HM stuff. When you have barriers going off and people are buffing your defense and resists to the gills, I imagine Willpower’s HUGE regen would allow it to shine.

@SomeGuy and @PasswordisTaco are right in mentioning /Rad. I have a StJ/Rad that is awesome. Like Stone Armor though, you gotta have a concept for all the effects haha. I haven’t run stone armor myself yet, but in a team setting where you aren’t solo holding aggro, I could see it being great.

/Nin does seem really cool on a Scrapper, I’ve teamed with a couple and they seemed really tough. Nice to know about the T9 as well! As for /Bio, are there any attack sets that you feel pair particularly well with it? Battle Axe seems like one, but any others? I remember hearing Kat/Bio was pretty monstrous. As a suggestion to OP, I have quite loved StJ/Rad Armor and Psi Melee/Shield. The StJ/Rad just seems to combo together really well, nice procable AOE’s and great ST damage. Psi/Shield is just…. Well the rule of cool. Looks awesome. Shield Charge + Mass Levitate is good times.

Love this Sov. If I could pick your brain, could you share what your endgame, properly invested build would look like? Edit: don’t mind me, I found it. My bad! Would you ever think about picking up Granite as an “oh crap” button, if needed?

Stone/Fire does sound like it’d be very beastly.

Really cool hybrid fort style. The best thing find yourself hopping in and out of range?

Need to respec. Placate a one slot wonder? How do you slot it?

I kind of mean like you did in this older post!

Appreciate this Kaizen! Would you mind copy and pasting the Fort build out? Mids doesn’t like my Mac.

It might have been for a Tanker, but I believe @SomeGuy paired TW with Electric Armor to great success haha.

I really like your build, I might have to respec and make some changes to my own. What attack chains have you been using from hide?

^This. You basically just need to watch out for the crash, use your heals and hit it again haha. Fun fact is, if you are somehow BELOW 50% health when the crash hits, it’ll heal you haha

My bad all, didn’t know there was a specific time frame this was ran! @TrooThis is a great idea nonetheless, thanks for putting it together!

oooooooh Nice roll! I've ran Ice Armor on a Stalker and loved it. I think it shines on Stalkers/Scrappers.

Haha idk if there was a specific time for an actual event, I’m just using it to roll a fun/random toon.

All awesome choices. Rad/Fiery is a top tier choice for a Tanker, from what I’ve heard.

WHY YES CRANE, YES IT IS!

Haha thematically you are totally right 😂

Came across this post and had to Necro 😂 such a fun idea. Very “comic book” I feel as well, with cosmic/random event giving your hero superpowers. 39-34-65: Dominator - Elec/Dark. I’ve yet to run a Dom to 50. I know @oedipus_tex and @Onlyasandwich have some builds lying around if I go this route! 31-77-94: Defender - Thermal/Water Blast. Idk if there is any synergy here, but I know both sets are great on their own! 73-70-4: Tanker - Shield/Battle Axe. I’ve ran Shield to 50, but haven’t played new Battle Axe. I hear it is good after the updates. Time to chew on these choices for a bit!

Appreciate this. From this page at least, it looks like it’s just animation/color changes.

QQ heroes and villians! I know that VEATS are finally getting some power customization next patch (animations, power recolor, etc). Really stoked for it! I was curious though…. Does this also include weapon customization? I BELIEVE Bane’s get some different mace choices, but not a lot. Are there plans to add more? And I know Widows only get the one option for claws. Does more weapon customization come along with the patch as well?

Wow 0.o

I could see Shield Charge + FSC + Combustion just decimating groups. I was searching the forums and couldn’t really find a build. Can you point me in the direction of one?
