I'm not really good at creating builds, but I had an idea in my head to make a rad/rad corruptor who focuses on defence debuff. It doesn't matter if the character can't solo or do amazing dps. The main goals are to really apply debuffs and have enough endurance to do so. I've provided a build, but it's really just me grasping around in the dark. If anyone could provide critiques, or provide their own build, it'd be much appreciated!

Even if it was an accident, somebody, somewhere benefits. I'm hoping to capitalize on that.

Oh, that's a relief. I had a tax guy, and he was pretty good, but Dr. Aeon mutated him into a radioactive crustacean and I've been looking for a replacement ever since. He's good at guarding the door, though!

Answer: Previous to June 11, we honored GroupOn codes, however, we received a special contract from Black Scorpion to raid their offices and kill everyone inside. So we will only honor codes from before June 11!

Well it's a volatile, but high-volume market. So let's just say that bodybags are a big (yet non-deductable) expense.

Yeah, or maybe it's a brand Brigg map! You never know!

You don't say.

Woops, I didn't notice that you had commented on my updated build. I will tweak it a bit and post the results.

Ok here's my update in light of the suggestions! I was able to slot a Winter's Gift and a Force Feedback proc. Increased the recharge of Recov Aura and Regen Aura. I now realize that those Shield Walls in Weave are going to be pricey but oh well. I like how this is turning out!

Thanks @Doomguide2005! To answer your questions: 1) I wanted an absorb proc in Spirit Ward, but I can't have 2 of them in one build, so I swapped it out with the one in Healing Aura. Is there a better way to do this? (or a better power pool to choose?) 2) The bonuses to Devastation seem better, at least on an individual basis. Damage, health, and regen seem like better choices. 3) Because Energy is known for its annoying amount of knockback and I wanted to dampen that a bit. Granted, I was only able to do it with 2 powers, but it's better than nothing. 4) I'm not familiar with Force Feedback procs. Can you elaborate? 5) Good ideas, thanks! 6) I'm open to the idea, but what to do with the extra slots? Put them in attacks? 7) I definitely like this idea, but I think they have different cooldowns, right? I think Recovery might need more enhancers than Regen (I could be wrong) 8) Is there a better Epic to pick, given my goals? 9) Should I be looking at something like this? https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Category:Sets_that_improve_Slow_Resistance Thanks again for the tips!

Good thing TFs can be soloed now!

Great! Many thanks @PLVRIZR!

Yes, same - I built this because of a character I had on live, even down to the costume.

I mention this because the other day I recalled the accolade one gets for doing the Freedom Phalanx task forces gives you an extra 5% health, if I remember correctly. I thought it would be fun to see if there's anything else like this. Are there any other permanent buffs out there for completing challenges - at least, those that would be of interest to a Tanker?

Thanks @Linea, I've seen your builds before and the build that I posted even nabbed some ideas from yours. But I will be eternally confused as to why your builds insist on 6-slotting Boxing and with expensive IOs at that. Are you trying to turn your Defender into a Defapper? Scrafender?

Point the First: I have no idea what I'm doing. My thinking on enhancements seems to be frozen from the time when Emmert posted the "rule of three" on the live forums. Point the Second: Having said that, I did make an effort at doing a build of my own. I'm trying to get a Defender that's geared towards support but can also do half-decent damage. If someone wants to post a build of their own, I would be most appreciative. Point the Third: Even with a farming brute, I can't really afford the pricey purples and Hami-O's so many of the sets are going to be the Walmart version This Hero build was built using Mids Reborn 3.2.17 https://github.com/LoadedCamel/MidsReborn Click this DataLink to open the build!

Makes sense, thanks for the replies!

I vaguely recall back on live, when people first started hitting 50 and doing Hami raids, that the advantage to Hami-O's was that they had multiple attributes in one enhancement - e.g., Accuracy/Damage. But enhancement sets (i.e. Positron's Blast, Luck of the Gambler, etc.) do all of that and also provide set bonuses. So why bother with Hami-O's at all? If the answer is that H's are more powerful than sets, then it seems a bit weird that something that has been in the game since launch is so much more powerful than something that was developed later. Usually developers 'amp up' newer content for players who get bored of the old.

I've always found the Devouring Earth fascinating, but it seems like one only learns about their backstory through snippets. I saw on a website once a screenshot of Hamidon Pasilma when he was still human and started to wonder if this meant that there was a mission arc that dealt with his history. I don't remember the site, and it could have just been a screenshot someone made with a generic scientist but I'd still be interested in knowing.

And then you also get the people who think it's ok to have a discussion about looking for groups in the LFG channel.

Not sure yet! I already did level 50 DFB and an all-Canadian radio missions team. I need something interesting! I was thinking of Sizzle Saturday, an all-fire ITF but ehhhhhhh seems too similar.

Inspired by the different niche groups I've seen (all-defender ITF! all-monster-based Citadel! all-knockback ITF!), I decided to try my own - Wattage Wednesday! An all-electric KM Market Crash! I guess I should not have been surprised when most of the respondents were blasters. But that's ok! With a stalker and a brute by our side, we melted faces with great efficiency! As you can imagine, throughout the encounters, enemy end bars looked like this: And the screen looked like this. ALL. THE. TIME! Finally, something super cool happened! I have a Synapse-themed hero, and someone on the team had a Positron-themed hero! It was pretty hilarious: All in all, it was great fun! Much thanks to Rina twelve, Thunder Lynx, Sparky Jr., Charge Wade, Bionic Assault, Magregor, and Pixi Stick for coming out! Enjoy your merits!

Thanks very much Hyperstrike!

I was more interested in it thematically, I didn't really have any idea how it stacked up to other secondaries. So far it seems...not bad, but I don't have much to compare it to either.
