I feel like it could be a cool “Sun powered” Superman concept. They seem pretty synergistic on paper.

Built my first Street Justice Scrapper (StJ/Nin) and love it. I want to give it a whirl on a Tanker and see if I can take advantage of the higher target caps on some abilities. Are there any primaries that pair particularly well with StJ? Rad Armor, Shield Defense and Bio Armor are all ones that stick out to me.

I’m kind of leaning towards a Bio/Stone/Earth Mastery (for theme).

So I’m digging the CRUNCH of Stone Melee. Are there any tanker primaries that pair particularly well with it? Was thinking Bio, Shield and Ice seem promising.

Haha this made me laugh! Yeah absolutely, I’m sure the combo SMASHES. Once you have your build IO’d and incarnates, endurance probably isn’t an issue.

I always felt this would be a fun combo as well. Might be pretty end intensive.

I mean, if you felt inspired and so INCLINED to drop a Dark Armor/Energy Melee Tanker build… we wouldn’t be mad at you 😉

Claws/Bio seems like a classic… for good reason. I’m torn between going Claws/Bio or Claws/Stone.

Thanks for this call out @Erratic1! Would you say Rad Melee is one of the more end intensive sets, along with Battle Axe and Stone Melee?

Radiation Melee seems intriguing to me, although I hate the animation of Proton Sweep and Devastating Blow 😂 I DO love Atom Smashers animation and will absolutely add a chance to KD proc in it just for the epicness. Thinking of pairing with Shield, since it brings a nice heal to Shield and AAO can help ramp Rad’s damage. Wondering if I could just run an attack chain of Smash - Siphon - Atom Smasher and mix in epic attacks/cross punch with a proc’d out IG doing (although I heard there were changes to it a while back)? The fact that it can slot so many procs (including -res) seems promising. Anyone have experience with it on a Tanker? How do you like it? How does it compare to the Shield/DM (which seems like the closest comparison I guess).

Yeah, I am messing around with a Claws/Bio in mids myself right now, as well as Dual Blades/EnA and Battle Axe/Shield. This discussion has got me thinking a lot, it’s been super helpful!

Gotcha, you feel that Shield/Fiery on a Tanker just flat out outperforms the Scrapper version? I could see that with it’s natural damage and the addition of Combustion.

KD procs in FSC and Combustion (or at least one of them) is great to layer on top of Shield charge. Also, other than looking AWESOME together, Shield/Fiery feels like one of the most well balanced tanks between defense and offense. To me at least.

Rad/, Elec/ and Bio/ are some of my favorites as well due to the fact that you never have to worry about endurance. WP/ is in there as well I'm sure, I just haven't run it yet.

+1 for a combo you can only run on a Scrapper. Also pretty funny being stealthy with a GIANT weapon 😂
