Back on live, with Energy Transfer's quick cast time and the inherent stuns, Energy Melee was king. But ET has a long cast time now. Is it still king? How about Dark Melee? I'm running an EM/Nin, but it feels much slower with the ET nerf. Any suggestions? -M

Plus a real travel power in case I want to go out into the other world! TY

I liked your starting point, but I am a Superspeed addict. And I really enjoyed that I could get fireball in there too. Not quite Def cap, but much better survivability than my current build on the servers. Any glaring errors?

Hi there, I saw this post and I knew I had to try it. So, I leveled up to 32 through normal teaming and then put regular IOs into the important powers and took it to the Comiccon Rainbow. Sure, I had to use my insps smartly and I had to bootstrap with a couple purples to get the run going, but it was not hard. And you weren't kidding about detoggling. I'm enjoying it as something a little bit different. If you don't mind, what's your power bar look like? And do you use any macros or binds for insp usage. Or is that not even going to be necessary once I buy the sets? There's a lot to click/press and just looking to optimize my layout. I'm nowhere near 6 minutes. I'm just dinging 50 and getting my first sets today. -M

I haven't played since live. What is going on with this listing. It's been doing this as long as I've watched. https://imgur.com/a/gx3CAxv

PS. I'm coming back for build advice on my Stone/Fire Tank once I get some inf for set IOs :-)

These are some great replies. Thanks for them. TL/DR what I'm seeing: Don't worry about tank primary. Make sure you have a team. Build accordingly. I tanked an ITF +5 with generic IOs last night on my granite tank and it wasn't hard. I just didn't do any damage and my taunts didn't stick very long. And I love tanking.

For PvE, high level content with a large bankroll, what are the tankiest tanks right now? Let's say, Top 2 or 3? Is Granite (stone) still there? What about Willpower? -M

Thanks for this build. I didn't know bonfire was currently good. I'm going to take some of these ideas and tweak from there myself. For instance, I'm a SS addict, so I'm going to try to sneak that in. Thanks, -M
