moontan13 Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 In the distant past, 13+ years, I had 5k+ hours on COH/V. Now that I'm back I want to try a tanker. I don't have any questions yet, but I probably will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyperstrike Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 With the advent of the newer enhancement sets. With some of the tweaks that've been made to enhance damage and rectify some problems. Tanks are absolute BEASTS.Figure out what Primary and Secondary you want. The people here can pretty much deliver a monster of a build to work towards. While Stone Armor used to be the Gold Standard for survivability, SEVERAL sets can basically equal or exceed its performance now. And there are new ways to trade off some survivability for even more damage potential with Proc-Monster builds. 1 1 If you want to be godlike, pick anything. If you want to be GOD, pick a TANK!

Warboss Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 A good way to check out different builds, playstyles and combos is at Tanker Tuesday. Next one is this coming Tuesday the 13th on Torch. See the Tanker Tuesday posts for more info. Start time is 6:00 PM PDT, meet in King's Row by IP Gate. Bring a Tank and check out what's going on. 1 Nothing warms your opponent like Fiery Melee.

ninja surprise Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 (edited) Welcome back! In case you didn't know, there's Mid's Reborn hero planner where you can plan out your power picks and enhancements. There's a Test server. On Test you can boost your Tank to level 50, and use a pop-menu to give it all the enhancements you'd ever need. Then you can try it out on some radios, solo task forces, etc, to see how you like it before creating it on Live. Here on the forums there's already a ton of threads with build suggestions for most power combos, and definitely for every primary/armor set, and you can use those for ideas.

starro Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 welcome back. My old stand-by is super strength/invulnerability. Radiology has been a fun addition to the game!

Sovera Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Fire Armor/Martial Arts. Shout Hadouken at mobs while wreathed in flames. Tank 99% of the game at near Scrapper speeds (better in fact when leveling/exemplaring to low mid levels). 1 - Simple guide for newcomers. - Money making included among other things. - Tanker Fire Armor: the Turtle, the Allrounder, the Dragon, and compilation of Fire Armor builds. - Tanker Stone Armor: beginner friendly (near) immortal Tanker for leveling/end-game and Stone Armor framework. - Brute Rad/Stone and compilation of Brute Stone Armor builds.

Myrmidon Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 You will have access to up to three different builds on a single character, so perhaps one building for Tanking and one for Proccing (if you find that you enjoy that).

Linea Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 I recommend: Defense Armor: EnA (Any AT), Inv/ and SD/ as the Tank Alternatives. Resist Armor: RadA (Brutes and Tanks Only) Heal Armor: Bio (Any AT, paired with a Defensive Weapon). If there can be only one: SD/Radm Good Luck, and have fun storming the castle. 1 AE 801 (link) is a variety of missions for fun and challenge, and is designed for a team of 5+ Incarnates. Just search '801' in AE. 801 Difficulty Varies: 801.0 Easy, ..., 801.2 Standard*, ..., 801.5 Moderate**, ..., 801.6 Hard***, ..., 801.7 Four Star****, ... 801.F Death. I may be AFK IRL, But CoH is my Forever Home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seigmoraig Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 I have recently fallen madly in love with Ice Melee, I made a IM/Shield Scrapper, and IM/Rad Stalker and I'm about to start a Bio/IM Tanker. Frost is just such an amazingly amazing skill I just can't get enough of it and I can't wait to see how it goes with the enhanced range that Tanks get on their AoE powers !!! I also had a ton of fun playing a Dark/Dark/Fire Tanker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
