Been playing a SS/Inv Brute for a very long time and while I enjoy it very much I wanted to build something very sturdy and invincible on the tanker side. Having read up, Rad/Rad seemed like a very decent combo to go with. Problem is though I'm having trouble with the build ( Every ability seems excellent ) and i'm quite indecisive about what to take and how to fill the gaps to get the hard caps in place. 

 

Looking for something extremely sturdy and with very good damage output.  Your help is most appreciated.

I think I have made your Radianite build even a bit stronger. 

Just have a look and say what you think.

thats very good, but im a flyer  lol

 

Also and this is my opinion only, i am capped in everything but cold, and yours while it gained more in cold, you sacrificed more in psi and negative which are more prevalent late game vs cold which isnt prevalent at all.

 

Lastly by using melee radial you do get less initial defense vs support, but once you stack it twice you have surpassed what support can do. You also get a significant constant regen buff by using Melee Hybrid.

 

your build isnt a bad look at it at all thought, and i appreciate the input.

You forget the scaling damage resist that will get me close to max on all resist like this and also my defense is higher.

Regarding the fly I do agree I like it a lot but you can buy so easy a rocketpack now so I can always fly anyway.

 

I do agree on the Melee Hybrid

Are You talking about the scaling resist enhancement reactive defenses?

 

Also defense on a resistance set is good but if you cant get to 45 % in a category you arent really getting a good return on your investment or whatever you sacrificed to get there.

 

Either way sacrificing psi and negative energy is detrimental to gain in cold because they are a lot more prevalent late game and throughout the game really.

 

Galaxy Brains new chart proves how inconsequential cold really is.

Just my opinion here, but you are giving up a good measure of damage for unnoticeable small resistance gains.

 

Still impressive to get those numbers where you got them though.

BFAS Tanks generally aren't Brute/Tanks or Scrap/Tanks.
They're Tanks. 

They eat damage like it was hotdogs and they were in a hotdog eating contest.
They then pause and go "Do you have any Grey Poupon?" and go back to catching alphas with their face...just to prove they can...

Oh, and they laugh at Defense Debuffs all day long.

Yes, however my point was what you are gaining in resistance isn't going to mitigate any noticeable bit better.

 

But a good portion of added damage will.
