Team Band Aid Defender - Time/Ice

[KaizenSoze]

This build is inspired by this thread.

 

Also, by the desired to have a defender who can patch holes in teams. Especially, lower level teams.

 

Lack of defense: Farsight and Time's Juncture

Lack of control: Time's Juncture, Distortion Field, Time Crawl, Ice Storm, Blizzard, multiple holds with lots of slow and -recharge

Healing, check

End, only 27+

Mez protection, sorry cannot have it all

 

I was in a 2 blaster, 2 defender (time, kinetics) Summer Blockbuster Event. Went well, the AVs and EB were so slow and attacked so little that the lack of taunt was not a issue. Only one death, me, at the start of the arena stage, before I could get oriented to the mobs.

 

Here is my tentative build. I have never had a time defender before, so there is probably lots of room for improvement.

[KaizenSoze]

So, I got 50. I have no idea which Alpha to take.

 

Intuition and Spiritual improve movement slows.

 

My damage is proc heavy, so Musculature doesn't seem like a good fit.

[KaizenSoze]

I went with Agility as that solved the most problems for now.

 

I have gotten several complements about the char.

 

I time-tanked for a 12-15 group.

 

The tank in a PI radio group said I just made everything easier.

 

I will post a more well thought build soon.

[Force Redux]

It sounds like a fun, effective combo. I like defenders that exemplar down well, too, as I often run lower level content to help others, as well as incarnate stuff. 

[Ankhammon]

I had a Time/Ice as one of my primary chars back near the end of live.

 

2 procs in time's juncture will make you feel like a proper tank. You will hold aggro pretty well unless there is a tank with taunt there (or maybe ice tank too, not sure).

 

I remember when I found out I was sturdier than expected when was on an 8 man escort mish. The others except me and a Scrapper went to take the person to the exit and we had an ambush. We got cocky and took em on and there kept being more and more ambushes. Eventually the scrapper went down and the others came to back me up and went down too. I survived while they all went to hosp and ran back to the mission. That was mid 20s and only on SOs.

 

 

BTW, I could perform almost as well with a TA/Ice (took the tank role on a tf with that char cuz tank rage quit early on).
