WP/SS/EN Tanker Build

SmellyPants · April 12, 2020

I've tried to find a WP/SS build on the forums, but only found one and it didn't use Sudden Acceleration Knockback/Knockdown, so it didn't work well for me (those are a must for me in FootStomp and HandClap). Can you please comment/offer suggestions on this? It's my first tank, so I'm no expert.

Thank you, experts!

Why do you need to slot sudden acceleration in foot stomp? It's already knockdown.

That Footstomp slotting has the Superior Avalanche proc in it. So his Footstomp is likely to send things flying. Both procs are entirely unnecessary.

SmellyPants · April 12, 2020

Ugh; I thought it was a knock back in foot stomp. This is really helpful. Keep ‘em coming. Any specific swaps or changes you would suggest?
Are you sure it’s knockdown and not knock back? In-game description and mids both say knock back.

Major_Decoy · April 14, 2020

It started as knockback. I think it was changed to knockdown in issue 2, but since knockdown and knockback are just a matter of <1 and >1, it's still kind of accurate and the text never really got changed.

Is this a PVP build? You've got much more knockback protection than I'd suggest you'd need for PvE, and Heighten Sense has enough +perception to see any NPC, I don't see why you'd need tactics AND rectified reticle: +perception on top of that except for pvp.

Slotting a "Recharge/Endurance" in high pain tolerance, when that's an auto-power is not reasonable. And you'll get more than 1.5% health by slotting a heal enhancement in High Pain Tolerance than you would by three slotting Steadfast Protection. Honestly, the resistance is High Pain Tolerance is low enough that it's almost not worth slotting for. I feel like this might have been adapted from an Invulnerability/Super Strength build?

I don't think that you'll be using Conserve Power frequently enough that three slotting it will be useful. Honestly, with as much +recovery as you've built for, you could probably switch out Conserve Power for Focused Accuracy and get more +perception.

Thanks. I’ve incorporated your suggestions. Any other good tips? I really appreciate you taking a look at this.

Major_Decoy · April 14, 2020

Well, I do think it's odd to include Reactive Defenses: Scaling Resist but not Shield Wall: +5% resists. And why skip Might of the Tanker?

SmellyPants · April 15, 2020

Ha. Out or ignorance. I’ve worked those in now. Really appreciate it.

Interestingly I have this the same way in Spinning Strikes. I kept it to get the 6 IO bonus.

It very rarely causes any knockback, so rarely I almost never notice it happen.

You might have Ragnarok in Spinning Strikes, but you don't have Avalanche.

hmmm I think you are right.

So my point might be moot.

Ragnarok though doesn't really throw them. I get almost 99% knockdowns when they move.

Major_Decoy · April 15, 2020

You might have Avalanche in Shield Charge, like I do. It very rarely does knockback.

However, I also have Avalanche in Cross Punch, and it's noticeable there. Not all the time, but every so often it'll launch an enemy away.
