I have an urge to roll up a claws toon and leaning towards a Tank to play with the upcoming changes. I'm having a tough time deciding on a primary. I really wanted to do Shield, but it's incompatible with claws. I have a bio scrapper, I have a rad stalker and rad Brute. I have an electric armor tank already. I played dark armor to death on live. I won't do stone armor, I've tried. 

 

That leaves super reflexes, ice armor, willpower, invuln, and fire. Do any of these have any inherent synergy with claws? I don't think so, but might be missing something. 

 

How bad is fire armor for overall game play? Will it be extremely fragile? I'm nervous do to super reflexes with no heal in the secondary. Is that not an issue?

willpower has no exact synergy with claws, but that's because it basically performs the same with every secondary. its a turn your toggles on and forget set. So it works. It's strong and and will work well with claws.

 

fire is fine with claws, but its a pretty clicky set and claws has a very fast rotation so you may find that you're clicking too much with that combo. I feel like ice will have this same "problem" paired with claws. Lots of actions to take in the armor set. 

 

invuln will be good too, but i would personally go willpower just cause i like it more. 

 

my experience with SR was way too long ago on live, so wont comment.

[Neogumbercules]

Fire, with it's damage aura and burn will pair well with Claws' AOE but if you want damage you should just play a scrapper. 

 

Invul and WP are probably your best bets. 

[Call Me Awesome]

Nothing wrong with pairing Invuln with anything; it'll work fine and give you top tier durability.  Unfortunately Shield can't pair with Claws; that would be a nice combo.  Ice is the undisputed king of aggro control and offers decent durability with some IO bonuses. 

[kenlon]

I'd say either SR or Inv for pairing up with claws.
