The ones in this thread who do use it disagree with you.

F/C is below that on my EA Brute, but that's likely due to not using Purples. I'm soft capped to Cold, and it is used so little I would rarely notice it being enough of an issue to really go change it. The build is Claws/ea. A decent part of the time the mobs are on their butts. Point is, if I wanted to make EA as 'tough as nails', I don't think it will be that far behind Invul. I can Incarnate cap all Def outside of N/T/P, and N is soft capped with just the Alpha alone. Change up some slotting and some other stuff and EA is going to be very similar to Invul.

That is in fact an opinion. How does me switching sides impact others? How does me seeing what AVs I need to kill impact others? How about sending me to a different place? Most so considering how much I solo. How does me switching to Red side to solo the Black Scorpion arc only to switch back impact others? I, in fact, do not.

I've played CoH for a decade plus. All I have really known Null to do was help me switch sides and let me know who I need to kill in terms of AVs for the badge. You presume way too much about a player base. I have never liked anyone using GF on me. I only use it between missions when I'm on my MM. And yes, I will pay attention to other players around me when I start to use it simply because I don't want to impact them.

I tend not to detoggle those things on any of my builds and still get them to having 1.2 or so advantage in End. While I get the point, it is still incredibly low for a build which has practically more recharge than anything I build, and no End recovery coming from the primary or secondary. In this case, there's no End recovery coming from an Epic either. Again and even more so, if a build has 300% Recharge, there's zero need for all of the attacks. You will have ST and AoE attacks chains with skipping attack(s). Skip one attack and Taunt and you can easily fit in with plenty of slotting for Superior Conditioning and Physical Perfection. I've been looking at a Inv/tw Tanker, so I found this post in the Scrapper forum informative just for the sake of TW info as the armor is Bio.

I see a net of .66/s difference for Recovery versus End drain with 300% recharge. Considering Invul offers no +Recharge, I'm not sure how you're pulling that off, If true, good luck with your end bar. I would at a minimum want that number doubled. You 4-slot Brute's Fury when it is far more ideal to have two instances of 3-slotting it so you double up on the 5% S/L Def. I don't know TW/invul, but the slotting is just odd. Invul is essentially a Res based set and your E/N numbers are poor. We're talking SR level of poor. I can't fathom taking all of the powers in an attack set. I just don't take Taunt on a Brute., I would get more mileage out of Combat Jumping.

And did a hour plus long Posi 1 this week. It's always amazing to me how many times a lead will point out to not go to the door early, but to clear out around the stairs and yet, someone goes to the stairs.

You might want to take a look at these threads in the Guides section. This has conversation about how much influ/min discussion in the current last page.

I got on a team where the leader forgot to set the mission. I reminded them of it. A few missions later they started to do it again. Mission after mission. At one point people start dropping like flies. They even would advertise the team as being Level 1+ when we were Level 8 towards the end. A Level 8 team sounds better than a Level 1 team. I saw them recruiting again a different night, and I'm like, "Nope." I feel like leaders not setting the mission is a thing, but then I don't really team outside of TFs, so I have no real sample size.

I'm not sure what power has a recharge of 320 seconds. https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Numina's_Convalescence:_Regeneration/Recovery

Due to how often it would proc. People default to using it in Health.

I was set at +0/x4. I finished it without resetting. I took no screenshots of it. I did a search for the issue and couldn't find it. I swore I had seen this issue somewhere either through play or someone else posting about it. I think it is both. This is an arc which gets run commonly enough, I'm surprised this is still happening 3 years in.

I guess it depends on what all you are trying to cap for Res. I can get 75% Res with S/L and that's without adding in other powers to boost beyond Tough and without Incarnates. I've seen someone post what an Invul Tanker can do with RoP and Melee at the same time, and I'm like, "Well, if that level of shenanigans is allowed..." I can get a SR Scrapper to 72.2% S/L with just RoP and that's not fully slotted for Res. I could easily switch my EA Brute build and have RoP at a practical max Res. At that point, capping 4 different Res types would be within reason. Again, what is being capped and under what conditions? Does that Def have any DDR?

Let me clarify, can you do it as part of a keybind?

I have a build which by all accounts should be great for me. At 30, it is one of the most underwhelming builds I have come across. Don't sweat it too much if a build doesn't work for you. If I can't get it to work post respec, I'll just move on.

Can you costume change into a different size? It would be worth looking into.

My guess is Stone, EA, or Invul for a combo of the two, but I haven't really ran the numbers. Stone is better at Psy than the other two, but Stone can be weaker elsewhere.

Just because a sword is old doesn't mean it is dull.

Considering recently a closed beta tester quit over proposed changes to a number of Res armors and Regen due to how radical they were, there's always the 'be careful what you wish for.' Disclaimer, Elec was not in the list of said armor changes.

My Claws/sr. It's at 50. I'm still working on Incarnates, but rotating RoP and Melee makes it incredibly difficult to kill. At some point I wouldn't mind dropping Hasten, but it smooths out the attack chain just enough. I'm sure if I switched in some purples I could get there, but whatever. |MBD;23596;1387;1852;BASE64;| |GytcIKyKx/lXLKSkJLigx4yXS5GuPdM2VB6N24TptVf6ZE9Ijw/KLFm6+lqHBaSrU2Y| |pj16WFuin9Bl7bv7U3qp6795d565ZXY2IecmgMGCBPfv3/9ubi4ywkT5nvtvVUXJqSo| |OfT29/Ha3OprWP26KC24MCx0G2ahXavKHNfWqLAofFEYRRyEDImHYOfm3t14CKqCHYM| |TO9InWdQrzbx+ZsMFXq3xp+PNKCyJ9o8HnnrZcJuB4iUvCKCQS/l/d/yhTnrftuF4Zr| |IaKv8j3AxJ01v76QNJLnRLZgTKmugccOtaCCdvKEr+FegowW5r+9oKNVKZSuiUkNYE+| |cpz+07Zhg7nrDquZnYDfRhAHdR8l9rT72GCNT7Q79fdLwgRPp83pFWFfkQH52cSpZzm| |ltLff36R949s45dXRFrAmyv5R/toOul5bvTMMR1doQk88Td7M+nVP0e7pW6hMtdK/Mh| |xav+7KEnSUf6s4YnZ16m55T39HEY/iBhK+3+fDU/4I8NtO+iXYwOJUvqy/B3lHnNPxi| |rX6ZUaLjjqeWpnNCej7423y+oFGjj2qiDkJjYl7B8Qv5527zz1KZCS5Ovi8IqVyqpcF| |7/wfo4PNmSLIGaoqyuvMKRwsjhnLW91BltF3vAi94C7qEdtjr/Q30aVK3gdtxC7h1YI| |IIFm5J1Ikf8c0/vt9iXEeLyyhOMLUytXJaM3n+sVtMolgJzCdACQq2Y5TAJILr87dxq| |BmKCrClWzK59Ok2nbthWT3gmggMSsJsJTS5rZZbwi0BEDTSbHVTvcVtBLXL/ngv2Vrb| |IdTNeTQr2vZAJ+6IbzzBO0BxIpRDCdrPAe8kDKu6xoJ9Ha0ZfSayiWfi6/L+2hanqvj| |OE6wDOlX7Zb4yH/DJhdjclYAks57tbAY8WQjJ74bcOwIcbpPDZY3ds4EJ6lZ7qCF4gY| |lgXqxDYUIWMegsmGqYEpdLABMkWFwSlKQ0ckj2KVUrLzyjz89aOijN+ZEXsBFsU15WW| |mQcqMuQLx6GRMgDuOGy4XJgcig3RX87Qf3YNXMBL4K3Ehh6qqzR2RteuzxpmQQoTvmY| |TAYwJDmJSCppAm3ib6ujSpUHONyir4938vZUrCmgtZVeTglMYCKYtqTds3qBzEQGZ3O| |SWpFZ/hnWwIZJJ2W7JIsuyaIHkMl1xHiWR+/NYMCN4L4Ycd44pT+hqsARl0lAqCpQFZ| |eEs+Rx2iJwslAdnFTCo3lxafgj8MLs6hqWn0coFmb2qq6opFrs8O9/ONnbIZZ3tCDTe| |RM4sjButlaH/4sOY1FekUWWZ+QipeiUebCGTs3kXAss+bP9yWb+MXOsnJLdNTCvis/w| |J15kUjRz387fy61P7MfhcGsBX2LVzPIs9wN8s99nc8qisuZqoXkFvAYwJPFJKpc+Pmx| |9wRcc4dS/aGUNqxluDQeo4ofCT2heAasBXVX/xa+oNXPYO1nRr/nDDPQ4nS+BM9cnj6| |mMOnfIupK++poi7ytUwN5RI9q+YahxKs0NCO8ldukwmaKi37onmcTUIgjfUlLa67Vqq| |gUeACZGoGDbhH7EVW0LK+2+7T1fdO6ziz/ugQ+eb/uak3u6/z6cP+VnLl0WsRYqsK7D| |bMRs8cfRuKz5fUF5u75RD8AkVmLvFM1/Qr3rfRmkW/qXf0y1Uwy1OSa3EDJ3cnDbxs4| |DnI9mR+fapzoXefjFhoIPyF3iir/X1ORhUESdOz5KFwdiGN4Du3JY5opQSkx9X7GWxV| |k9nmdGNT0kaonZ4TLsTdC9rLqNEcaCulJ376T7YGP/oOMx9LwBU1rfi/9iDmlxu0lnj| |Cc+Za88XE8qIH+ajksgnB874AfIlnHRhLCZhrdpAw==| This my Dark/sr although the build is only 38.

The best way to get eyes on a set is buy posting actual suggestions in the Suggestions and Feedback forum. Even then, I wish you luck. There are sets so fundamentally underperforming they are at meme level for years. I've posted a suggestion some years ago only for none of it to be implemented. We are unfortunately at the mercy of a volunteer dev group based on their vision for the game.

A high level Tanker on lower level content can feel like cheat code. You can see this in any +4 Frostfire run. Mid 20s is still extra powers, slotting, and inspir slots. The game is old. There are simply going to be times when vets of the game get together and blow through content. I believe it will be less and less rare, but certainly there will be times where a team will get together with newer players far less slotted, experienced, or over leveled for the content and struggle in the same situation. I think within the past couple of months I got on a PUG Yin which went through it in 18 minutes. I haven't come close since.

You still aren't targeting the issue. End management isn't Elec's problem. Changing that isn't going to make it an S tier set. What any and every Res based set needs is DDR. Since that isn't happening, you are looking at improving Energize so it recovers more HP and boosts Max HP. Since it lost its damage aura, it could use having a power which increases it's damage. Any T9 which nukes your end and the end of its duration needs to be reworked. There was a time where nukes drain a person's end. That got changed and so should the T9 armors.

I'll just point out while EA has a bit of a Psy hole, you'll only really notice it soloing on higher diff settings. The things which give it genuine issues is small. I've had it stand in the middle of an x8 sized mob and go, "Yep, I can be here all day." The +Level was likely +2 or +3. I've done EA across all of the ATs which get it. I would likely rank Shield and Sr as Top tier for being unkillable with Stone, EA, and Invul as next in line. I went and looked at Linea's rankings for Tankers and that's roughly the tiers they have them in minus EA as that's not ported to Tankers yet. For Brutes, those are all top tier.
