Despite people's complaints about the set, I absolutely love Savage as a fun powerset.

Gotta say... as I said at the beginning of the thread I've never taken a Tanker to 50, though I have had a few 50 brutes. Rad Armor/Battle Axe seems particularly impressive over every combo I've dabbled with. (I liked War Mace/Shield too)

Heh, well... I'm 50 now, but I still haven't picked an alpha as I'm still messing with set bonuses. Did an ITF last night alongside a brute with DA and was amazed at how resilient he was (though I didn't perform badly myself lol). Right now just letting the shards and threads pile up so when I make a decision, I'm ready for it. I hit 83% on SL with bonuses... now I'm looking at tightening up Fire resistance.

Thanks guys!!! I'm sorry I'm slow in replying- wrecked my car earlier this week and it's just been a big mess to deal with (I'm not injured though!). I did hit 50 with this tank. I haven't picked an alpha yet as I've been working on the beginnings of set bonuses - seeing how much I can goose Recovery and the resistances before picking an alpha. I thought I was going to have to go Cardiac but it sure seems like I don't need to now.

I did Force Feedback procs in three attacks thus far, a Gladiator's Javelin -Res in Ground Zero. Theres a Perfect Zinger Psi Damage proc in GZ as well, but I might remove that later. Was thinking about putting the Panacea procs in Health and Gamma Boost. Achilles Heel in Beta Decay, but since that's a toggle I'm not sure that should really go there.

So... OK. I've played off and on since the early days of live. I've messed with Tankers but they just never held my interest. But I had a random idea a few weeks back and tried making a Radiation Armor/Battle Axe Tanker and after doing a bunch of story arcs, TFs and solo AEs I've hit 45... and I'm still into it, surprisingly. Mostly IO'd at this point - I've put a few procs in here and there, but I'm trying to hold off on really digging into set bonuses until 47. So while I'm working towards that part - any Rad/BA tanks have sample builds to show me? Still trying to decide where slots should go. I skipped Beheader and I'm tempted to pull all slots from Chop as I'm just not using it that often at this time... but my opinion isn't set in stone. Here's what I've currently got...
