ICE/KINETIC/SOUL -DMG Concept

ThrillMill · October 13, 2019

As the eponymous title might imply; I've recently been intrigued with the construction of a -DMG Tanker. This naturally has steered me towards the above mentioned powerset combination of ICE (Chilling Embrace), Kinetic Melee (Power Siphon) and Soul Master (Darkest Night). Assuming no DeBuff resistance on any particular mob and according to Mid's Hero Designer, I could potentially lessen a mobs damage capabilities by upwards of 50%.

My intention with the build was only play PvE content in a team environment where I would be the off or secondary meat shield in most instances. I typically enjoy the "Scranking" play style that allows me to soak some alphas, while also punching mobs in the face. I love to run story arcs, TFs, Trials and the like. Not interested in farming.

Please let me know what you think and where it is I could improve some with this build. Thanks.

Your endurance usage when running Darkest Night is going to be rough, depending on regular use of multi-target Energy Absorption.

Against hard single targets, you'll probably have to slow down your attacking or eat blues.

Outside of that, conceptually it should work fine.

Hedgefund · October 13, 2019

You mentioned only PVE play, so the Acc enh in Taunt isn't needed (autohit in PVE). Go with, well, anything else. I like the psi proc for 1 slot.

When it comes time to select a Judgement, keep in mind t4 Void Radial does a -50 dmg debuff.

Oh! Excellent! I hadn't considered any -DMG in the Incarnate Game. THanks for learning me some. I'll make the correction to Taunt as well. Appreciate the info.

I think Energy Absorption will see me through the worst of it. According to mids, it'll be up every 30 seconds or so. Remains to be seen I suppose as I've yet to try it out. Thanks for the feedback.

I had a similar idea. I'll post my build, which hasn't been tested, once I get home

I have one of these at level 36. Like all of my tanks though, he’s been shelved since the tank changes were announced on the beta server. I don’t want to use up my leveling experience on an inferior version, if indeed they are going to get buffed.

His name is Metaldeth and his theme is a heavy metal thrasher. I imagine the kinetic melee moves to be him playing the air guitar! Of course while idle he’s always in the air guitar emote. I couldn’t tell you if it’s a fun combo or if I’m just having fun with the theme. Either way it’s a good time! Rock on!!!

Here's my build. It's probably not very good. If anyone has any critiques I'd love to hear them.

Ah, this warms my cockles! Glad to see that others have taken up the -DMG lifestyle. I, too, have decided to wait until the Tanker changes go live. Will post my build a bit later on. Thanks.
