My (petless) Crabby-tank build

[Neiska]

Hello forums,

 

Just wanted to share my Crabby-tank build. Calling it a "tank" is a bit of a misnomer though, as it has no taunt or way to really manage aggro. But its still very durable. So far its been good on 4/8 on any damage type. It can farm, its great for team play, and does just fine on max difficulty with bosses. I didn't take any pet powers (aside from lore) as more often than not it they felt more trouble than they were worth.

 

Here are the highlights -

-permahaste

-solid defense

-soilid resistances

-great END management

- lots of -res debuffing

-I can use one activation of aim to activate Omega Maneuvers, Frenzy, and my Ion incarnate all in one go, dealing massive area damage.

-good single target/boss damage as well.

 

I am sure there are some things that can be changed, such as Leaping pool for fly, but i just like having flight as a preference. Also there are no patron pool chosen, but even so this feels like one of the toughest and most universal builds I've played. 

 

Anyway here is the build! Critiques/feedback is welcome!

Two quick comments for now:

1) FYI, Aim (and any other damage buff) has no effect on Judgement powers, so there's no need to try and squeeze it into your Aim duration.  

 

2) What do you use Slice for?  Is it part of your standard attack chain?  Because you're probably better off swapping it for a PPP single target blast (Gloom is the best one, but Mu Lightning is also solid).  Gloom does more damage, animates faster, is ranged and does negative energy damage instead of lethal, in exchange for a slightly longer recharge, which shouldn't be an issue with your global recharge.

1. - Thanks for the info on aim and judgement. I have time for 3 powers, so was using Omega, Frenzy and Ion, but can swap out ion for something else I suppose.

 

2. - It isnt part of my standard attack chain no, but it is nice for the IO set bonus.

 

My attack chain is mostly - Venom Grenade > Frag Grenate > Suppression> Frenzy (on cooldown), then when Aim, Omega, Frenzy and Ion are all off cooldown thats when I pop it. Luckilly, Omega and Ion are on the same timer so this is pretty easy to manage.

 

I mostly use channel gun/long fang for runners or distant targets. Slice isnt really a filler power per say. Though I suppose i could swap it out for something else. There just isnt a lot of options at that stage in the build, but I could remove it and move everything possible up 1 slot and try to fit in a power I suppose, but as I said I already have a solid attack chain. But will take a look at your suggestion when I get home.
