Inv/MA Tank

[lsnav0]

Is an Invulnerability/Martial Arts combo any good? Are there any good builds out there? Cost doesn't matter. Searched and found 1 or 2 builds...one of them doesn't open. It doesn't seem to be a popular combo.

[Hyperstrike]

You've probably seen one I've posted.

A fully kitted out Invuln is basically the second toughest set in the game next to Stone with Granite on.

That combo? 🤔  I just recently started playing, and I'm pretty craptastic with builds. Find mostly Inv/SS and Inv/DM builds. Redlynn fleshed out the MA on her SR/MA 2.0 tank...I guess I can combine her MA with one of your INV builds builds to see what comes of it. 🤷‍♂️

Haven't played it as a tank, but I've played a MA/Inv scrapper since 2004. MA does good ST damage but is lacking in AoE (1 PBAoE, no cones). You can add some AoE in your ancillary pool.

[Call Me Awesome]

I've never played MA but I second Hyper, a well put together Invuln is nearly unkillable.

[Hyperstrike]

Here's one planned for high Resist with some sacrifices to Defense (basically because MA doesn't build out the way Super Strength does.

Take a look at Redlynne's SR/MA post. Lots of great discussion on MA attacks.

 

 

[lsnav0]

Oh wow, thanks y'all. This is exactly what I need to get that toon off the ground. Big thanks Hyperstrike and Uun.
