Rad or Invuln

In the post where I revealed how I got the numbers, I specifically said the 2m barrier buff was what I used.

NINE..... DAYS..... LATER.......  lol

 

More than one person asked you and you let it go for NINE DAYS.

At no point was I, or anyone else, talking about the 10 sec/30sec/60sec barrier buff.

I was actually, and i said so at least 3 or 4 times.

 

18 minutes ago, Xanatos said:

So you ranting about the 10 sec/30sec/60sec buffs being useless was at best not a counter to anything I said, and at worst completely irrelevant to the conversation.

I wasnt ranting partner, i was simply showing you how useless barrier as a buff was to this discussion, and if you need to prop yourself up with 6% on either of these builds you have gone seriously wrong in your build.  Its not irrelevant when you are giving out bad advice like that.

 

20 minutes ago, Xanatos said:

And yes, it's perfectly viable to go with lower resist, take Ageless, and still tank fine. But if you're happy playing an invuln tank at 82% resist...play an invuln brute. You'll do more damage.

Im fine with my tank thank you very much  🙂  again, 82% is more than enough on an invul - should you ever find yourself in trouble Melee core has a nice 2 min buff thats better than a T9 IMO  That hardly ever happens.

 I hope you one day copy my P2W strategy, much like others in this thread are coming around to.

I dont need them, my tanks are strong enough out of the box without needing a crutch.  But if you like them YMMV  MPTY

Haha, yeah I've had quite a lot of rage thrown my way in this thread.

Pointing out your mistakes or misdirections is not rage my friend.

This is all I wanted. Thank you for finally reading between the lines.

Then there's no true way for you to grasp the warmth that blazes within the cockles of your heart when the enemy realizes they simply cannot defeat you, and that you're going to THOROUGHLY enjoy the next three hours as you S--L--O--W--L--Y sand off every...last...hitpoint...

I pity the foo...Poor, unfortunate heathen...

From the start, I suspected that the arguing in this thread was a form of angry flirtation. It's nice to see my suspicions proved correct.

 

Here are my predictions for phrases that we will see written in the near future:

 

"The dullest pain that I can imagine is nine days without a reply from you."

"Your wall of emotional invincibility taunts me so that I feel inexplicably drawn to you."

"You've shattered the particle shielding around my heart. Don't ask me to absorb these feelings! Only time will regenerate what my heart has lost."

"I find it impossible to resist your energies. Your magnetism is unstoppable, and the tension between us is unyielding."

"This moment, here and now, is the ground zero of our shared future. Every word from you is a gamma boost to my very soul!"

"I hope that you can overlook my poor innate performance. I promise that you will be satisfied with my tenacity after I consume 8 hour enhancing boosters."

Thats just weird....

 

(Sneaks off to copy every last word in my secret notebook.)

 

Weird I say.

[ninja surprise]

I kinda zoned out over the last 7 pages; can I get a tl;dr?

Is it better to have two pizzas with double pepperoni or 5 pizzas with half pepperoni but then buy extra pepperoni on the side?

 

 

Edit: So really though, summary is both are good but Rad is more expensive to make really good? But you'll still end up wishing you'd gone Shield/Mace because it has the best taunt? (unless you use the female body because then it screams like a banshee)

Basically Invuln is a tougher nut by a small margin.
But the margin's so small, that in 99.999% of content, it doesn't make any difference.

On Tankers,

Fire armor is tough enough for 99% of content.  

And its not as tough as Rad. 

 

[Slithershot]

So, I read through all 14 pages of this thread. My brain hurts, and I'm still no closer to figuring out which is actually better because of so many opinions... and I already have a rad/rad tanker... so!

 

I think after over a decade it's time to finally play an invuln/SS tanker. The Myth, the classic, the legend. 

 

Being that my brain has been completely melted by literally every post Habibi (or whatever his name was) made took away exactly 42 brain cells, can someone post me their -best- invuln/SS tanker build? I'm looking for something that will survive literally almost anything and still be able to do decent damage when I'm not yanking mobs off my poor squishies. Money is not an issue, I have billions in my scrooge mcduck gold tower just waiting for this moment. I'm putting this up against my super decked out SR/claws tanker (thanks again Bill) so gimme your best shot!

I run a Rad SS soul tanker with 3 builds :

 

- one ultra dps with full procs (still able to tank almost anyting in the game +4x8) perfect for speedruns and solo

 

- another ultra tanky with no rage and tons of soft control, perma hasten and full 90% res (but cold but who cares of cold)

 

- a pvp one (still work in progress)

 

and alterning Barrier core / Rebirth radial / Mélée core / Assaut double hit and (ageless / incandescence as a work in progress too) based on what the content i play in need the most.

 

If Infamy is really not an issue, this is the way 😛

Yeah, I plan on respeccing my rad/rad and seeing what I can do with it cause I had kinda put it on the backburner. I still wanna do an invuln/ss though.

Rad/Rad should be really good at AoE.

Rad/Fire/Mu gives 6 to 8 AoEs depending on the build, sets, and what you count as an AoEs.

 

Rad Armor

Radiation Therapy (slotted for damage or proc'd out (note: I haven't gotten around to testing the proc'd out version))

Ground Zero (I slot with a KD proc)

 

Fiery Melee

Combustion

Fire Sword Circle

 

Mu Mastery

Electric Fences

Ball Lighting or Static Discharge (AoE vs Cone, personal preference here) (if you have room and can put both in you have another AoE)

 

Incarnate Judgement

Players choice (I like Ion)

He's a quick modification of my "Blood From A Stone" concept (basically maxing out Resists as much as possible).

Basically Resist-Capped to everything save Cold (82.3%) and Psi (88.8%), natively, with only the Alpha.
Switching from Cardiac to Resilient would cap Psi.  But your base End consumption would rise.
If you assume you only get a singular bump from the +Res proc in Scorch, you can rely on the base Buff in Barrier and it'll cap Psi for you.
Meltdown isn't really gonna do too much for you.  But the +DMG is nice.

And you become an absolute AOE MONSTER.

Oh it totally is and my build is trash. 

I would go for something like that to begin with.

 

Taking best of both world from tanky vs procs build, sort of balanced one before chosing which aspect you prefer (or do as me, just making 2 builds lol)

 

It's a quick try but that could be a good base. ( @Gobbledegook will recognize the procs :p)

 

Ageless should make your hasten perma and will provide you more than needed stam. Given that the Devastating / Siphon combo will allow you a 100% sure 537,9 heal every 4,8 seconds, i feel this build can tank extremly hard without Rebirth)

 

About Area damage, better have few attacks with huge recharge (used with Build up / gaussian) than a lot of trash powers, caressing enemies to death.

 

Meltdown and Mélée Core T4 can push your Psi resist when needed.

 

Here is the build with 1 stack of ATO, smallest Ageless Core recovery buff, no meltdown or Mélée T4 :

I would go for something like that to begin with.

 

Taking best of both world from tanky vs procs build, sort of balanced one before chosing which aspect you prefer (or do as me, just making 2 builds lol)

 

It's a quick try but that could be a good base. ( @Gobbledegook will recognize the procs :p)

 

Ageless should make your hasten perma and will provide you more than needed stam. Given that the Devastating / Siphon combo will allow you a 100% sure 537,9 heal every 4,8 seconds, i feel this build can tank extremly hard without Rebirth)

 

About Area damage, better have few attacks with huge recharge (used with Build up / gaussian) than a lot of trash powers, caressing enemies to death.

 

Meltdown and Mélée Core T4 can push your Psi resist when needed.

 

Here is the build with 1 stack of ATO, smallest Ageless Core recovery buff, no meltdown or Mélée T4 :

 Superior blistering cold in Radiation siphon could be swapped with a full set of Hecatomb for more Psi resists,recharge and accuracy at the cost of some defence. Just replace the Heca proc in DB for another proc as Below.

Respectfully, I don't really need an explanation of what they mean when they say it, I'm well aware 😉

 

It's the same as when I see people claim they can bench press 405lbs... With a compression shirt, wrist wraps, help lifting it off the rack, half repping or bouncing off their chest...

 

Summons and temps to me mean the build can't do what one claims, without outside help. Alpha and hybrid are enhancing an aspect of the build that already is inherent, where as havaing to revisit p2w or base temp to refresh is, to me, outside the build itself. All that said, no disrespect, it's totally cool, but it's still not what I consider Solo. Additionally, I'm not a role player, but I do build characters for theme, because it's personally neat to have a concept.

 

Again, I'm perfectly ok with anyone claiming or thinking it, and why I haven't mentioned it before.

 

But 405 with no help and no wraps or shirts or help is in a different league then with all the handicaps.

I powerlift and can't think of any feds that don't allow wrist wraps in the raw division. You also get a hand-off. You do have to pause on the bottom to get the press command. 

 

So that would be the "gold standard" for a raw bench press, since it follows the rules set in competition by most if not all feds. Any additional handicaps (5 second pause, etc) would be self inflicted. And it's ok to do that, but you won't win yourself any points competing that way. 

 

I'm new to this game, but I see the builds going on the same way. There should be a standard (pretty much any power you can get, even if they are not up 100% of the time), but outside buffs shouldn't be allowed. But I'm new and really don't know much about it. But I can tell you everything about powerlifting having completed, coached and judged since 2011.

Self-inflicted handicaps are common in games. Basically Switchfade is/was pretty respectful in his reply but it does not mean anyone else but him need to follow his self-applied handicap. The only thing that matters is when 'competing' such as in pylons or time-it-took-to-solo-a-TF to be upfront about what was used so the metric is not skewed. That is why in pylon times a person will say if they used Incarnate clickies and lore pets and the same for TF soloing.
