One IV All

I posted asking about Savage Melee a while back and loved all the info. I’ve settled on a Tanker… I love the viciousness of Savage and dig the idea of just being an unkillable beast running rampant. I have my eyes on a few primaries and was curious what people would suggest pairs best with Savage Melee: Shield Defense/Savage: The dual tele attacks (Shield Charge and Savage Leap) could be a lot of fun together. Shield is fairly end intensive and Savage can help with that. AAO can help ramp the dmg a bit as well. Dark Armor/Savage: Another end intensive set that Savage Melee can help with. Dark seems to have a lot of tools, but can be a pain to level. Savage seems like it can help with that. Electric Armor/Savage: No end issues here, but both these sets combined just seem like they’d be a maelstrom of violence. Elec gives free recharge and slow resistance, which adds to the flying around and fighting theme. Rad Armor/Savage: This has a lot of AOE potential. Rad doesn’t have a consistent dmg aura to pair with Savage’s dots, but it has the two PBAOE’s. Savage doesn’t really have any spots to for Force Feedback slots for recharge, but I believe Savage gives free recharge on it’s own passively? Which combo do you think would create the most SAVAGE Tanker?

I’m really torn between this combo and Shield/Fiery. You feel it can outperform Rad/SS? I know that is kind of the bar haha

Excuse me while I go make that Shield/Rad Tanker I’ve been kicking ideas around for haha

I REALLY dig the idea of FF/Seismic… you can color crystal seismic blasts steel grey and it could be fitting. My only hesitancy there is Seismic wants you in the ground for it to do it’s best. I almost imagine Magneto floating around haha

I’ve looked at this combo @Sovera has talked about. Honestly, seems like it might be the best combo of tank AND dmg in the game lol. I’ve messed around with it as Shield/Fiery as well. Not sure how the two would match up to each other.

Yeah I have heard the same. I’ve messed around with the idea of a Seismic/Stone Sentinel that is kind of an “Earth Bender” type of theme.

So I had the classics Invuln/SS on live as my “Superman” hero. I like the idea of Invuln/StJ… kind of like when Superman gets mad and starts pulling out the harder hitting moves haha.

Yeah, Shield/Bio/Rad were all ones that stuck out. Shield/StJ seems like it’d have all the swag haha

Any primaries you think go particularly well with it on a Tanker?

I dig Street Justice. Rib Cracker, Crushing Uppercut, Spinning Strike… the animations are great. Tell me about your favorite AT’s/Powerset combos for Street Justice! I’d love the inspiration.

I’m REALLY enjoying leveling my own Bio/Stone, although I went with bodyfor my epic pool to take Focused Accuracy. Might look into trying the psychic or soul. Mind sharing your build? Loving it so far, has some great synergy and CRUNCH.

I’ve recently been messing around with a Shield/Fiery Tanker…. It might be one of the coolest looking combos I have seen in game lol

I know Rad/SS has long been one of the quintessential Tanker combos. How does Bio/SS compare? I’m guessing less AOE but stronger ST damage?

I’m torn between StJ/WP or StJ/Nin for my Daredevil homage hero. That stealth crit with /Nin seems really sweet.

Been contemplating either Fire/EM or Shield/EM myself. Both seem amazing.
