I can't seem to find a copy of the final build after making the changes above. I am not sure how I misplaced it. Basically I ended up with the build from my original post, plus most of the tweaks described by Warshades, except I ended up sticking with Focused Accuracy instead of Dominate, and I did not change the Stamina slotting. The other changes were small tweaks that were clear improvements. I definitely liked having Ageless. As for performance, I would describe myself as a novice player who isn't really pushing the limits, but I found it more or less just what I wanted. Pretty straightforward in terms of tankiness with a smooth single target and AOE attack chain, and some great sustain plus added AOE from the armor set. It was an offense-first combo by tank standards, and the sets are both strong and fun, and then have synergy with each other (from the Force Feedback procs mostly) that make it even stronger. One downside for me was that damage type of the enemies made a big difference and I didn't really understand the enemy types well enough to expect it before I was suddenly flattened on a few occasions (psi and cold damage being the weak spots). The resists very a lot by type which I found a little hard to optimize around or otherwise manage compared to something with smooth positionals like shield. But still, overall I really liked it and recommend the combo. One other caveat is that this build was pre-tank-nerf, I have not played since the nerf, and while I understand it was not nearly so bad a nerf as it was originally slated to be, it sounds like it may have affected rad armor more than some other sets. While I suspect rad is still a strong contender, the changes may have impacted the ideal slotting in ways I haven't yet experienced myself. Hope you enjoy the combo!

Thank you for the great feedback, Warshades. I've spent some time on Test trying out these changes and others. Many of your suggestions were flat-out upgrades that improved my build noticeably so I really appreciate you taking the time to look closely at it and share your expertise. I did have two questions: Can you help me understand how EndMod is better for end recovery than Performance Shifter +End proc? I have viewed PS +End as 1.5 PPM * 10% endurance boost, which would result in 15% endurance per minute. Meanwhile a 50+5 PS end mod would give a 53% boost to Stamina's base 25% endurance per minute, which would be only 13.25% endurance per minute. I tried taking Dominate and I did like it, but I found it rather expensive since I had to drop Focused Accuracy, then free up some slots for Dominate, and reslot some other powers for global accuracy buffs, which meant giving up procs. I managed to do that and wasn't sure if my overall DPS was higher, and I still lacked the tohit debuff resistance from Focused Accuracy. I'm just wondering how you use Dominate that makes it more valuable than Focused Accuracy in a Battle Axe attack chain. Maybe the Decimation +buildup was doing more for me than I understood. Thanks again for the solid feedback. Testing this combo in general, I struggled more than I expected with the Psi hole versus Carnival of Shadows, but it otherwise felt very synergistic and sturdy. I've also tried a Shield/Fiery tanker that had very stable passive defensive characteristics and some solid DPS with Soul Mastery, even while fitting in Fold Space. Not sure which I like better at this point.

I am building a Rad Armor/Battle Axe tanker. While finding numerous references to this power combo in search, I found few builds (at least since the BA revamp). I was hoping I could post one and receive some feedback and suggestions. My goals/playstyle: Build notes: Build stats: Datachunk: Tanker - Modified 4.21.25 (Radiation Armor - Battle Axe).mbd
