Thanks again. I put in the KB resistance into Static Shield which also gave me a small recovery boost. Here is my revised build for anyone that is interested.

See what you think of this revision where I put Gladiator's Armor's +3 in the empty Tough slot which saved a slot to increase my HPs 7.5%. I then took out Fault, Gloom and Darkest Night and put in Focused Accuracy, Laser Beam Eyes, and Physician Perfection. I don't think I needed Darkest Night which is great at low levels but not so needed after 50. Instead I went for even more regeneration, recovery, and recharge.

Thanks for the great advice. I may take out Fault as it is cool but not really needed once I get to 50 and have the other IOs. I didn't realize the ATO adds 6.7% resistance each time it procs. That is a real game change for my build. I need to take a close look it now that I saved it into Mids but want to get a little play time in tonight first. Later

Hi all, looking to respec my lvl 50 tanker now that I have some influence from my farmer alt. Any feedback on this build version. Without incarnates it has that has 36% (45% with incarnate) softcap S/L defense and melee def at 45/53%. Resistance to all but negative 71% and toxic (43%) at 89-90%. Recharge at 143% (212% with ageless) and regen at 427%. While the build could already do pretty much anything I wanted to do I think my slotting of procs is probably not great as I don't know which powers proc well vs those that don't. I took procs out of lightning field as I believe toggles don't proc often. Fault is a cool power for knockdown but may also be a bad place to put to damage procs, if they proc well it may rock though. My only wish is that Tremor didn't have a 3.3 second animation. I love the power but it is so slow. This Hero build was built using Mids Reborn 3.0.2.19 https://github.com/Reborn-Team/MidsReborn Click this DataLink to open the build!

Thanks for the very helpful feedback. I was wondering if I was focusing too much on defense as I am able to do some +4/8 content with only 32% fire defense already at level 46. I have used your revisions of my build and got my fire defense up to 46%, recharge at 140%, and focused on endurance reduction while also being able to hit both hard and fast. Your comments about wanting to be fast are very helpful. As I level I was more focused on being able to survive but as I get my IO build in and my incarnate abilities I realize that wont be much of an issue. My experience as I level up has been that I am pushing the envelope and don't always survive large mob adds. My future focus will be on just mowing them down fast to maximize influence/hour. I am still not sure I agree with your comments about Cross Punch. What is the fast way to take down elite bosses? I would think I need some more high damage single target attacks. The cone is nice but Cross Punch also has a recharge bonus. Here is my revised build. Any thoughts appreciated.

Hi all, I have gotten three alts to 50 and they need influence to finish their builds. I have my Spines/Fire Brute farmer up to level 42 and want to see if anyone has any improvements to this final build. He will be used just for farming and I would like him to be able to do +4/8. Right now is endurance and defense are holding him back. I would like to focus on keeping the build from being too expense though and avoid most purple IO sets for that reason. Thanks ahead of time for any advise. This Hero build was built using Mids Reborn 3.0.2.19 https://github.com/Reborn-Team/MidsReborn Click this DataLink to open the build!

Thank you for your feedback. It took me awhile to find it in Mids but my DDR is 93% on this new build. I have changed out the set I had in follow-up and spent more time trying to get my health, recovery and reg up. I think I like the idea of putting luck of the gambler into more of my defense powers as it gives me reg, health, accuracy, resistance, and recharge. I also want to see if I can get my melee defense up to 50% as I run at least +1 solo and will go higher as I have started slotting SO 50s into my level 47 build. Here is my new build which may focus too much on recovery. This Villain build was built using Mids Reborn 3.0.2.19 https://github.com/Reborn-Team/MidsReborn Click this DataLink to open the build!

I'm looking for IO build advice for Vandor who now at level 44 so 50 is just around the corner. I am a casual player and mostly play solo missions and occasionally a few hours of team missions or AE content. I am looking for advice on a decent, low cost build. I have no need to run x4/x8 mission and just want to be able to survive and contribute as a melee team member. I don't know how much more influence I can make once I hit 50 but would think between $50- $100 million would be my budget. I probably overemphasized trying to get perma-hasten but it is much harder than it was on the live servers. My defense looks good and maybe too high as I am over the soft cap but I could use some higher resistance. Do I even need Epic powers out of Body Mastery such as Physical Perfection once I get to 50 or are there other better Epic power choices. What I need to know the most is what IOs are way out of my price range. I am very willing to change out some powers and prefer fly as my travel power but also think Spring Attack out of the Leaping pool would be a cool way to start my attack runs. I currently jump in with combat jumping which works well if I have a speed boost but not as great without it. Thanks ahead of time for any advice.
