I'll chime in with a couple (mostly for reasons already stated): Bio/Savage - Teleport T9 AoE, what's not to like? Bio/Claws (is just a great pairing) Bio/Ice (because I'm weird and like IM, plus gives some added damage mitigation from Ice Patch while leveling up, and comes in handy later in the game)

Another great run on Excel, we fielded two TF teams and one missions team! It's great to see so many people coming back to the event, new people trying the event for the first time, and the one's that Kilo didn't scare returning for more! That said... TTT on Torch 4/14. Meet in King's Row @ 6pm PDT/9pm EDT, by IP Gate and we'll get rolling from there.

Hi all, We had a great MSR with nearly 3 full teams and we were able to take down the drop ship!! Tanks, is there nothing we can't do? Always, we're back on Excelsior (the home of TT) next week 4/7 Meet in King's Row @ 6pm PDT/9pm EDT, by IP Gate and we'll get rolling from there.

Hi all, After a conversation with some other Tanks, and Pep reminding me of the time zone issue with Reunion, we've decided to run a MSR on Excel tonight 3/31/20. Meet in King's Row at 6pm PDT/9pm EDT and we'll LFG to the raid from there. The more level 50+ Tankers we get the better the raid will be. So, tell your friends and we'll see you there!

Hi Hera, haven't gotten much feedback, I'm leaning towards a visit to Reunion, anyone else have input?

Hi all, We had a great turn out on Indomitable and were able to field 3 teams, one TF and two missions! Thanks to Hera and ColTech for leading teams, and I just notice that... We have a 5th Tuesday this month (03/31), and that means we could run MSR on Excelsior, or have our first visit to ReUnion, or... run a BAF on Excel?!! Regardless of what we choose we'll meet in King's Row at 6pm PDT/9pm EDT. Post to this thread what you're up for, so we know which server to meet on! Also, Tanker Tuesdays are open to an players crazy enough to run the Tanker AT! So if you enjoy Tanking, come join the fun and see what a mob of Tanks can accomplish!

We had a good turn out this week on Everlasting, two teams! One ran Manti and Lor lead our missions team. Good job all, thanks for joining us and supporting the event! We're back on Indomitable next week 3/24. Meet in KR by IP gate at 6pm PDT/9pm EDT, and we'll get rolling from there.

We were able to get two mid-sized teams going last night, so lotsa' fun and thanks to all who joined us. Next week, 3/17, we're back on Everlasting. Meet in KR by IP gate at 6pm PDT/9pm EDT, and we'll get rolling from there. The event is open to all players, as long as you're a Tank, so let your friends know and join in the fun! See you then!

Hi all, We had a great turnout last night, and I was able to pick up my Task Force Commander badge, so a good night for TT (and me ;))! Thanks to all who turned out!! Next week, TTT, will be on Torch 3/10 (so TTTT or T4). Meet in King's Row @ 6pm PT/9pm ET, by IP Gate and we'll get rolling from there.

TT on Excelsior next week 3/3. Meet in King's Row @ 6pm PDT/9pm EDT, by IP Gate and we'll get rolling from there.

A little late to the party, but in the past, DA/Stone Melee and DA/Ice Melee have been the problem children. DA/SM becasue "who needs END?" and DA/IM because "meh" (and DA/Fiery Melee was far more fun). Changes to IM helped with it, current changes to the Tanker secondaries have likely helped it even more (haven't played the combo again, here).

My choices are would be: Fiery Melee (I love the set) Electric Melee (lots of fun with two "teleport" attacks) Kinetic Melee (very "utility" set, excellent for teaming) Dark Melee (Melee attack/heal, and minus to hit, work well with SD)

We're back on Indomitable next week 2/25, meet in King's Row at 6pm PT/9pm ET and we'll get rolling from there!

Next week (2/18) we're heading back Lor's server, Everlasting, for our next TTT! Meet in KR by IP gate at 6pm PT/9pm ET, and we'll get rolling from there.

TTT on Torchbearer next week 2/11. Meet in KR by IP gate at 6pm PT/9pm ET, and we'll get rolling from there.

Hi all, After a bit of a slow start we got rolling with a full team! Thanks all for joining us tonight and it was great to have some new and returning players to the event. Hope you see you all again next month we come back to Indomitable! Next week, Feb 4th, we're back on Excelsior (the home of TT). Meet in KR by IP gate at 6pm PT/9pm ET, and we'll get rolling from there. Too soon to try a BAF? Do we have enough 50s in range? Let me know!

Also, it was great seeing more returning/new players to the event. Remember we tour every server (still working our way to Reunion). So feel free to roll a new Tank and join the fun every Tuesday!

Hi all, We're back on Indomitable on the 28th. Meet in KR by IP gate at 6pm PDT/9pm EDT.

Next week (1/21) we're heading back Lor's server, Everlasting, for our next TTT! Meet in KR by IP gate at 6pm PT/9pm ET, and we'll get rolling from there.

Hi all, TTT on Torch 1/14. Meet in King's Row @ 6pm PT/9pm ET, by IP Gate and we'll get rolling from there.

You're welcome, enjoy the build! The only other suggestion I have would be to move the SFP +Def to Fire Shield, that way it would be available on lower level TFs if you were to run them (I'd catalyze it too).

Hey Washuchan, I see what you're doing and the build looks pretty good. Might want to try it as-is and see how you like it. Tweaks I would make at this point would be to pull 2 slots from Weave and 4 slot it with LotG 3+recharge proc). I'm not convinced that with the build as it is, you'll need Consume all the frequently, but might be nice for "Oh shucks" situations (remember to catalyze your winter sets for additional End Recovery), and I think you're good to go with End management. You could pull Consume, Put in IS and four slot it with Four Mako's. If it turns out that you need End, you can always respec back into it, and you'll have your four slots ready to go. Eventually you could slot with Blistering Cold, or Hecatomb later on. I think at this point my suggestions are more what I would do, and not really required. Play the build and see what you think. I think you'll be happier with the higher Melee Def. Is your toon already 50, or are you still working it up to 50? I just noticed you pulled Temp Protection, it does add 20% slow resist, so it worth keeping in your build. You can offset that a bit by using Winter-Os, but the power is less expensive than the sets. 🙂 Also, replacing TR proc in Health with Panacea's +HP/End (but we might be getting away from your targeted cost range).

I personally would change a few things: 1) Take Frost, it's a great power. 2) Lose Mystic Flight in favor of Combat Jumping and Super Jump. 3) Lose Concealment, unless you're teaming with a specific set or players that don't have it, won't take it, and greatly need it. 4) Freezing Touch is an excellent hold/damage mitigation power and with any of the + hold magnitude procs can hold bosses. (could use it instead of GIS or IS) 5) I'd look at adding a slot (Oblitz) back to Burn and Frozen Aura, it will up your Melee Def by 7.5%. 6) Optionally add a slot to Blazing Aura and fit it with 6 Oblitz, for another 3.75% Melee Def. 7) Leave Taunt with the default slotting using the PSi proc from PZ, or slot it with four MB for additional Melee Def (2.5% (?)). 8) BoZs KB prtection could be added to CJ of SJ for additional KB protection (aiming for 12pts total, the min for Tanking, imo). 9) Whichever you didn't add the KB proc to, add the slow resist from Winter's Gift. 10) It looks like End won't be an issue, but, as previously recommended, I'd slot Consume with a multi aspect enh of some kind. Alternately, if you could find slots, you could put more Oblitz in their (6 would be another 3.75% Melee Def). 11) I'm not sure there's a big benefit to the 3 PFs in Stamina, might try it with PF End Mod, and +End proc, and one level 50 End Mod (this is optional depending your personal preference). 12) As previously recommended add some Def slotting for Weave. 13) Generally speaking you don't really need GIS and IS, as IS recharges faster than GIS, and delivers better activation vs damage than GIS. So, all GIS does is give a bigger "wack" at a slower rate (less efficient). But, I will admit it looks cooler and sometimes having that big wack of points is very satisfying. So... up to you really. Personally I love the Mu Mastery on Tanks! Good job taking it and use it to your team's good health! ;) Feel free to do as many or as few of the suggestions as you like. Happy Tanking!

Hi all, Happy 2020! I've got a few things I'd like us to do this year, and due the the higher turnout on Excelsior, we'll likely be running these events there. Dates are to be determined, but I'd like us to run a BAF and an all Tanker Hami! We should have enough folks in line/level to do this now, so it's just a matter of which one we want to run first and what day. I'm currently looking at our first fifth Tuesday, March 31st, for one or the other. You still have a bit of time to get your toon to 50, or tooled in just a bit more before then. Let me know which you want to try first. For the Hamidon raid, we'll need to have holds and ranged attacks. So check your toons for those powers prior to the date and/or pick up temp powers to help. Fire and Ice Mastery epics each include an hold as do several of the 2ndry power sets. For BAF, immobs work on the fleeing minions and Lts (I think), but not the bosses, so we'll need Incarnate Pets for this phase or the trial. Feel free to post suggestions and/or ideas for events you'd like to see us run, Lambda is doable as well (in fact we did it several times on live).

Hi Jasper, we'll likely run an all Tanker MSR again on Excel on the first 5th Tuesday we get (I think it will be in March), or (even better), I'd like to try another all Tanker BAF. We haven't done that in a while, and need to make up for lack of completing it on live. So get your 50's tooled up and we'll see what we can do!
