Going for Def capped WP/DB Tank

[VayeDarkfire]

And to start this off, you are gonna want to put this into Pine/Mids to see the full numbers. Now, I am so nubbins close to have Defense capped on everything except Psi it is frustrating because I remember doing this on Live back in the day. Although, that was a DB/WP Scrapper that tanked harder than our main tank at the time and it was hilarious fun. So much so that my guild got the Influence together to force me to repsec into Taunt and forcing a bunch of set changes. But I digress...

 

Here is the build in all its messy glory. And no, this is NOT perfect for holding Aggro, this was originally a solo build for my own purposes.

 

Thanks for any time and consideration you put on this build ^.^

[Folly]

hey im a total noob.

thanks for this build. im analyzing it to understand how to get higher def cap.  im honestly trying to play a WP/SS

 

anyways. i wanted to ask why do you add recharge time enhancement to Maneuvers? 

isn't it a toggle so we wouldn't care about recharge time?

 

im new and dont even have maneuvers yet.  so fill me in.

[jack_nomind]

anyways. i wanted to ask why do you add recharge time enhancement to Maneuvers? 

 

that specific enhancement provides a global (all powers) recharge speed improvement; it's not an ordinary +rech.

[star_fury_lives]

Question regarding the 'chance for +end' enhancements on the end recovery powers- how do they work? Chance on every tick of recovery, or is there an internal cooldown?

 

Will plug the numbers in Mids; I've got a WP/SJ tank that I want to softcap defence on so thanks for the help :)

[Folly]

What makes this build not great for aggro control?

 

Also, how fairs the endurance? if anyone has actually made this build in game.

[star_fury_lives]

What makes this build not great for aggro control?

 

disclaimer- not played Willpower tank to high levels

 

It'd be ok for aggro control (taken Taunt power and the taunt aura- Rise to the Challenge (Rttc)). I think he means not perfect aggro control, as in RttC isn't slotted for taunt duration and from reading the forums it is one of the weaker taunt auras in tanking sets (very short duration taunt of 1.25s, the aura needs a to-hit check on affected mobs so it could miss and your taunt would drop on that mob). Taunt power would fill some gaps there.
