Updating my SR tank after a year away

[MrMajesty]

Hi friends,

 

I've been away for about a year, and have just started to dip back in. There's obviously been a slew of updates that have added new IOs, updated powers, added powers - wheeeee! 

 

My main toon is a SR/Radiation tank and he's always been a blast to play. I'd love for any feedback on his build - especially factoring in what might now be possible. I already have everything +5'd, and I'm fully loaded on incarnate stuff, although I probably now want to change a few of those (I've got ageless atm, but I'm working on the +res barrier t4 and also the +end debuff ageless t4; I've also got degenerative in my interface and probably want to swap that over to the -res reactive). I've got musculature because I don't really benefit much from the others... shuffling things around might change that calculation though, so again, happy for any suggestions. I don't mind grinding for it 🙂

 

One thing in particular would be a way to include fold space, because I've seen that used a couple times and wow is that a cool power 🙂. Beyond that, although my defenses are pretty good, my damage probably isn't as good as it could be - I was still tweaking this build when I was last playing, and I might have dialed up the survivability too high - not necessarily a bad thing, though!

Otherwise, I had been farming up a Stone/Rad tank, intended to be maxed out on survivability. If I wanted to build the absolute toughest tank, suitable for tanking any content at all (including silly AE stuff), what's the current "go-to"? My SR is super tough, and 99% of things he's essentially unkillable - but for the 1%...? Would love to see some builds if anyone has anything interesting to share 🙂

 

EDIT: I should have also said, I have a Dark/Staff toon that's also a lot of fun, but I never felt I really cracked a great build for - would love to see other examples 🙂

Cheers!

Stone/Rad is possibly the sturdiest thing, stacking the Radiation Siphon heal on Stone's absurd mitigation. Previously, the movement penalties were a severe hinderance in incarnate content with autohit damage patches; but nowadays, you can dodge and jump back in with ease thanks to Combat Teleport. Not as good as proper kiting but certainly improved the Stone situation tenfold.

 

Shield/Rad is another strong contender for that extra mobility. Shield can be build to softcap everything with leeway + beefy resistances, potentially hardcapped with some sort of OwtS / Melee Hybrid / Rune of Protection rotation.

Here's an off the cuff stab.
