Rad/TW Tank

[adragonzord]

I am looking for assistance in making the ultimate tank build. After conversations with many players the best over all sets seem to be Rad/TW for a Tanker. Could you help create a build that has capped defenses and resistance for this combination?

[adragonzord]

Here's an example build that has great defense and resistance.. it's Rad/Rad but can we make it Rad/TW?

Ideas to make this better? Is Build Momentum needed?

Build Momentum is not only needed it is what makes Titan Weapon tick. When you start a fight it's the first thing you press to get the ball rolling, if not you will never be able to hold aggro in any group because you will need to wait for the 2.5 second animation to happen on your first power and you won't be able to open with Whirling Smash.

I'm at work right now without access to Mids but I can assure you that if the build you are looking at doesn't have Build Momentum in it, it's not a good build.

As a side note, it's never a good idea to pass up on ANY build up type power in any set where you have the opportunity of taking it

Could you take that build and make it better? I'm having a hard time getting that last bit of soft capped defense. Apparently it's more important to have resistance on a Tanker and cold is a little low.

Here's another build which was sent to me:

I'll try to remember to come back here this evening and check it out, turns out I only check these forums while I'm at work and I don't have access to Mids on my work laptop. If you could post the full breakdown of your builds instead of just the forum code it would be better.
Also, I know Titan Weapons mainly from playing a TW/Bio Scrapper a lot but I have never played Rad Armor so don't expect me to fix all the issues with the build 🙂

Have you tried looking around the Tanker forums and Reddit for potential builds for your character, between those 2 places I'm sure you'll find somebody who came up with something good.
As a side not Cold is an uncommon damage type so if it's not at 90%, but at 70+ (again no mids can't see it) I don't think it would matter all that much as long as your Def is at softcap

Hi, I have a Rad/TW tank. I am at 45% melee def and you really don't need more. Beta decay covers a lot of def debuff. Here is my build.
