WP/SS Tanker advice

[JulioThom33_2]

Hello all,

 

First, I'm glad to be playing CoH again. I missed it. I was a lurker/poster on the old boards, so I'm looking forward to doing so here.

 

Now, I wanted to make an I26 WP/SS Tanker based on the old guide @Heraclea made (She's an African Amazonian I've named Heracleo). I figure to take my tank to 50 on Level 25 IOs, and then look to sets to make her better. I've sketched out a Level 50 build (I'm at 35 and climbing) that I'd like some advice on, since I've never made a Willpower build before. I'm finding that she's not as Tanky as even my Invulnerability tanks were on IOs, but I see the potential of being able to survive a ton with max S/L Res, high Psi Res, and enough Defense and Regen to really shine.

 

Please let me know if I'm missing anything obvious in this build. I'm looking to build for Defense, but don't want to go overboard if it hurts me somewhere else (And Heraclea, if you're still running your WP/SS Tank, I'd love some build advice).

Also, I'm reading that Homecoming fixed Rage so that the defense debuff is now unavoidable. Double Stacked Rage was the go-to on my old Brute. Is Double Stacked Rage viable anymore? How are you mitigating this issue?

 

Thanks in advance.

Adding some of the unique IO enhancements and the accolades would likely help while leveling (if you don't have them already).

 

Do you need tough?

I'd be tempted to up the healing in Fast Healing and throw the uniques in Health.

Use tough as a mule for the Stead Fast currently in High Pain.

just quick thoughts..

 

Welcome back

As long as you have perf shifter in stamina and phys perfection, and panacea, miracle, numinas in health combined with the ddr from ageless radial the rage crash at that point ceases to exist.

 

If you already have that I didnt overlook it in your build, I'm just not where I can pull up mids.

Good to know, as I'm planning on getting all of those IOs. I have most of them already.

 

But, would it be better if these were in the slots of some of the WP powers, Like Fast Healing or Quick Recovery over Health ans Stamina? Also, sice I'm pretty sure Perf Shifter isn't Unique, does it make sense to run with multiple Perf Shifters?

I'm not a big WP fan, I'm actually going to look at maxing one out tonight but yeah that could work slotting it in any power that will take them.
