Bubbles232 Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 I need help building a new tank, I like the looks of rad and heard invulnerability is great. I am looking for something that can grab and hold aggro pretty easy, both primary and secondary. please help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tath99 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 (edited) Both Radiation and Invulnerability are excellent for Tanking damage. Rad has a PBAOE Heal and PBAOE attack which help get the enemies' attention. Even so I'd consider taking Taunt because it allowes finesse in targeting a wayward group. For your secondary attacks I would suggest something with its own mitigation. Knock-ups / knockdowns in Mace / Superstrength / Battle-axe are recommended to buy time for Heals to recharge.

Cutter Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 /Ice also has some good mitigation tools with slows and knockdown. @Cutter So many alts, so little time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shocktacular Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 The first tank I got to 50 is a bio/rad tank. Bio Armor and Rad Melee both have a damage aura, which keeps foes' attention on you whilst doing a fair bit of damage (I basically just attack the boss and, by the time I'm done, everything else is dead). I put the Avalanche Chance for Knockdown proc in one of them for extra damage mitigation, and the results are at times HILARIOUS! The Contamination mechanic in Rad Melee means that every attack has a chance of being a mini-AoE. I just had a really fun time with this combo, so I'd like to recommend it. Note: I tend to play Brutes when I play melee types, but this tank is still fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haijinx Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 They normalized all the taunt auras recently. So aggro control isn't really a thing anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
