I was literaly thinking about using this and swapping to defensive afaption to litigate the  double rage crash, I’m bad at making builds thought I’ll check this one out 

 

I also don’t know how double rage works. Do you use rage (2:00 duration 4:00 cooldown, then use it again when it’s cooldown with say 200% recharge meaning it’s back up after one minute so you crash every minute ? Or, do you get 4 minutes of rage then 20 second crash at the end )

here's my take, i adjusted a few things. i sacrificed a small ammount of defence and resistance, for a large inprovement in recharge times on your absorb skills, regen and damage.

Posting what I posted on the tank forum because I’m stuck between this set on a tank or a brute.

 

Going to attempt to build one when I get home from work. Anyone got an existing build I can alter to my preferences so I’m not starting from scratch (never made a tank before) 😄 cheers.

 

also can’t work out whether or not with the recent changes to the base damage modifier on tank making it 0.95 means I’d be better of rolling a tank vs a brute with the same skill sets. On one hand the brute gets the 180% average damage bonus ontop of his 0.65 base modifier, but on the other hand the tank has the 0.95 and extra target caps and more -res from the offensive adaption, anyone fancy weighing in ? 

 

Rage will be easily doubled with 160% recharge (which I can get easily ) so both builds have that going for them.

 

BIo also benefits greatly from a higher health benefit, pool making its absorb shields and regen magnitudes better prior to enhancing. 

 

I think it might come down to ATO options in the end, as brute ones are not that great and from what I’ve read tanks get a pretty meaty one that’s gives 15% res to all

I would probably change the health slotting to a panacea proc and a Numina proc, and then turn DNA siphon into a proc'd out nuke (that's how I did it with my spines/bio and it's amazingly strong).

 

You probably want a performance shifter proc in somewhere if not a couple of them.

 

I'm also not too keen on slotting brawl like that as a bio armor brute/tank is already really resilient given the layered mitigation.

 

I personally like the idea of having some range even on a tank/brute so LBE works great as a proc cannon for Achilles's Heel, so you could use that on hard targets in conjunction with other -Res procs plus the -Res from genetic contamination to really soften some targets.

Took this into concideration and came up with a new version.
