Hi there, I looked at the build a little earlier, but didn't have time to respond until now. I was a bit confused by the title of your post. Are you trying to build an AoE Tank, or are you trying to farm? It is true that in the process of building for AoE you'll end up with a good "farming Tank", but I don't think it holds the other way around. Right off, I agree with VULCAN, the minimum KB protection you want on a Tank is 8 (I tend to shoot for 11 or 12) but, it depends on how you play, and what you fight. Stacking KB is going to knock you all over the place with KB of 4 and even 8 (in my game experience). You can do the temp power and it works well until it runs out or you forget to reinvent it, and what a pain, a Tank should be good to go (IMO). The Touch of Fear slotting didn't come across in Mids when I opened your build, so I'm not sure what you have there, so if I mention something that is already covered there, feel free to ignore my comments. If you're trying for more PSi protection, then maybe Glimpse of the Abyss six slotted would be a better fit. It's a good set and you pick up some other bonuses, recharge, accuracy, etc... If you decide to 4 slot Touch of Fear, take a slot and place it in Temperature Protection or Combat Jumping and place a KB protection enhancement there. I don't use ToF on my DM Tanks, so I can't vouch for how it works, but I'd probably 4 slot it and use the spare slot somewhere else. (ymmv) If you're trying to firm up some other areas, I might suggest: Change the slotting on ToF to 4 GotA Use one of the slots to up the number of slots in Soul Drain, fully slot SD with Obliterations, that will give you 46% Melee Defense. Use one of the slots in Combat Jumping or Temp Protection to add additional KB Protection. Burn/Soul Drain/Blazing Aura -Consider placing/switching the following full sets: Armageddons in Burn, Obliterations in Blazing Aura (mentioned above), and Might of the Tanker in Soul Drain. (I'd do this if I was playing this build). How's does your Endurance hold up during a protracted fight? Looks like it might get close. If so think about Cardiac Core Paragon to add some additional Resists across the board and help cut Endurance costs. I don't really like running a Tank w/o Taunt, it's you're choice, if you can get the job w/o it, then go for it, if not, might swap ToF for Taunt. If you do so, with 2 slots of Perfect Zinger gets you a little more PSi/Tox Resist, and you'll have two additional slots to use elsewhere (additional KB Protection, or 3 slot Consume with Scirocco's for additional Energy/Neg Energy Resist). Best of luck, have fun, and enjoy your Tank!!

Hi all, It's a new year and time for another attempt at TTSE (Tanker Tuesday Saturday Edition) on Reunion. Any preferred Saturday? If not, let's make it the 16th (unless I hear otherwise). Starting time 10:00 AM PT. That would give us (Times calculated off my Pacific-centricness): Mountain -11:00 AM Central -Noon Eastern - 1:00 PM England - 6:00 PM Europe - 7:00 PM

I didn't have a good overall view of the raid as my team got bogged down an a single green mito (previously we had 1.5 -2 teams assigned to Greens, also it wasn't a full hold team, so that probably affected our success - which we didn't have until the entire league showed up), but... it might not be a bad idea to combine the Blue and Green team's duties and have them remove both Greens and Blues in the same area at the same time, or focus on Green first, then Blues. Blues can be a pain, but it's the Greens that keep all the other mitos healed. Reds would help, but I think what we need is a "throw more bodies at the problem" solution (after all, Tanks aren't known for holds or ranged combat).

Hami fell again to the might of Tanker Tuesdays! Thanks all for joining the event! We start the new year on Excel (1/5), so meet in King's Row 6pm PT/9pm ET and we'll get rolling from there! March is our first 5 Tuesday month, so let's start thinking about what we want to run then. Happy New Year to all, take care and be safe!

Tank 2, Hami 0. We had a great turnout on Everlasting for Tanks vs Hami! Thanks all for joining us and thanks to all our team leads, and to Lor for leading the raid! It sounds like the event was well received, so me might have another Hami raid on Everlasting in the near future. Thanks all for supporting the event. Happy New Year and a better 2021 to all!

Hi Ironjoe, I'm not sure, I thought Lor may have, but might not hurt if you went ahead passed the word. Just a note, we need to take the smuggler's sub in North East corner of IP or Kallisti Warf.

Hi all, Tonight is the last TT of the year and a Hami raid to boot (we're meeting on Everlasting tonight)! Meet in King's Row by IP at 6pm PT/9pm ET and we'll head out to the Abyss from there.

This Tuesday it's Tanks vs Hami on Everlasting!! Get your toons ready and we'll see you there!

Hi Max, We'll start at the usual TT time, 6pm PT/9pm ET. Also don't forget to pick up the following: P2W Vendor Flight pack Swap your origin Temp to the Taser Dart Ski Chalet: Golden Rings Other Useful Items: Shivans (we won't deploy them until called for) Epic Pets (we won't deploy them until called for) Vanguard Heavy Power Core (we won't deploy them until called for) Epic Ranged Attacks (single targets) Epic Holds

Two teams running tonight on Indom and even got to see a few Tankers and a few returning friends. Welcome back one and all! We ran Synapse and had a missions team going (Thanks MsA for running that). AND, next Tuesday we have the all Tanker Hami on Everlasting. Meet in King's Row at the usual time and we'll get things rolling from there. Best wishes to all and have a safe and happy holiday season!!

Hi all, Just a reminder that our 2nd Hami vs Tanks is next week! This time we'll be holding it on Everlasting. I've already moved my "raider" over and am ready to rock! Hope to see you next week at jello time!

Oh, btw, TTTR today at 10:00 AM PT!

No, my original post for the first event was correct. The time would be 10:00 AM Pacific, so 1:00 PM for East Coasters. Thanks for questioning that. Sometimes the "reverse brain stem syndrome" kicks in... So that would be 1:00 PM Eastern. Sorry for any confusion (my normal state).

Good times on Everlasting tonight. Three TF teams, two running Citadel and one Cave of Transcendence. Thank you MsA for running CoT and Ronin for running the other Citadel. We'll be back on Indom next week, and don't forget the Reunion TTT this Saturday (yes, it's Tuesday this Saturday). And.. we're back on Everlasting on the 29th for another all Tanker Hami!! Hope to see you at the events!

Hi all, Just a reminder, we'll be back on Reunion this Saturday. And, one correction - it would be 7:00 AM for Eastcoasters.

Hi all, Just a reminder that we're about 3 weeks away from our next all Tanker Hami!

Hi all, Haven't heard back on this topic in a while, so how about we shoot for another TTTR on the 19th? Same time, same place.

Two TFs tonight on Torch, Manti and Katie Hannon. Thanks to Ronin and MsA for leading them, and to Witty for taking over the Manti after a "Ground Hog Day" experience, and to PapaS for running the post TF team! We're back on Everlasting, 12/15. Meet in KR by IP gate at 6pm PT/9pm ET, and we'll get rolling from there. Also, remember we have an all Tanker Hami here on the 29th! See you then!

Hi all, A great event on Excel, two TF teams, Market Crash (lead by Lor) and Moonfire (lead by MsA) and a missions team. There was much leveling and many AVs fought. Fun time for all! Next week, TTT on Torchbearer, 12/8. Meet in KR by IP gate at 6pm PT/9pm ET, and we'll get rolling from there. Also 12/29 Tanks vs Hami on Everlasting 6pm PT/9pm ET.

Sorry for the very late post, but I just started playing my Ice/Bio Brute again and was looking for ideas. Since you're a Brute and going to be on the ground in the middle of the enemy, I'm not sure Hover/Fly servers you all that well (I get it if it's themed, or if you just like those powers). I'd go for Combat Jumping and Super Jump (Slotting the Winter's Gift 20% Slow Resist), and I'd look at swapping out 2 Common Heal and 1 Common End for 3 Numina's (Heal, Heal/End, Proc). I also swapped out the Numina's in Health for Panacea Proc.

We start December off back on Excel (12/1). Meet in King's Row @ 6pm PT/9pm ET, by IP Gate and we'll get going from there! 12/29 Tanks vs Hami on Everlasting 6pm PT/9pm ET. Thanks to Hera and MsA for leading teams tonight. We'll see you all on Excel next week! ** Sorry I didn't see you post pre-event Glow, but it was to see you there**

Just a reminder, we're about 5 weeks away from our Hami on Everlasting. Get those Tanks leveled and we'll see you there!

We were few but mighty! Well, we were few and leveled up! Thanks much to all who participated in the event and special thanks to MsA for leading our small group on PI missions. Now that we have a few established Tankers there the next event should be easier to run TFs (with in level ranges of course). Which brings up the next question, do you want to do this again? If so let me know and we'll get one on the schedule.

I think after all these years of Tanking the only issue I have with Fire Armor is no KB resistance/protection/whatever it's called (goes for Dark Armor as well). I don' t think they'd be OP if that became inherent in the set. Temp Protection would be and ideal place for it. I know it's not a big deal to slot for KB protection (many different options and approaches with IO sets), but why should we have to (especially on Tanks).
