WPR Skippables?

[Chalkarts]

I'm building a WPR/RAD Tanker

Heightened Senses just became available but I'm not exactly sure what constitutes environmental damage.

I'm thinking of skipping it.  What are your thoughts?

 

As for Strength of Will, For the build I'm working on, It doesn't seem like it would be useful often enough to use up a top tier slot for.

 

Am I wrong?

[Caulderone]

Ignore the description, it is flavor text.  The FUNCTION is defense to fire/cold/energy/negative, with a tiny dash of smash/lethal.

 

You need it.  It is not a skip.

 

There are two powers that can be skipped if you need to, Resurgence (self rez) and Strength of Will.

[Psyonico]

Strength of will, if you can fit it in, is a great mule for the two +def iOs but that's about all I use

It for on all of my wp tanks.

Agreed.  Luckily the two skippable powers only appear at the end of your journey.  By that stage you'll be thinking about epic/patron powers anyways. If you're taking Tough you already have your mule, if you don't want to make room in High Pain Tolerance, which also works and is available much sooner.

 

I usually end up taking SoW on a tanker and forgetting where it is.

 

Speaking of epic pools, I'd try Earth Mastery for Salt Crystals and Quicksand.  Salt Crystals is a HUGE multi-target PBAoE, and Quicksand is a slow patch.  Both do valuable debuffs.  You'll get more use out of these than you will from SoW or Resurgence.   You can put a chance for (small) self heal in Salt Crystals (it takes sleep sets) and a chance for recharge slow in Quicksand (takes slow sets).

Its one of the best powers in the Set. 

 

One of the best armor powers period, really.

Also what do people skip all these primary and secondary powers for?

 

We don't even need to use powers for stamina anymore.
