WP/EnM, first try at WP and EnM :D

[Mezegis]

So I was running my latest tanker build in a Manticore and we had a WP/TW along and we spend the time chatting about various tanker loves.  He expounded on the virtues of WP and convinced me to give it a try.  Also having never made an Energy Melee character, figured I'd combine the two.  

Question 1: any way to lower the pompom effects in EnM?  They are just crazy vibrant and kinda off putting.

Question 2: How is this for a WP build?  the lack of DDR makes me a bit sad, and I couldnt get f/c res over 50% pre ATO buff without losing something else I wanted.  Thoughts?

Love my WP/Fire tank, but too lament the low DDR where some instances ITF can be too overwhelming for even the most robust regen.  Easily fixed with Barrier or Ageless incarnates, but not much fun on the grind to 50 or exemp-ing afterward.

 

Thanks to Sovera for suggestions on this build and I went for damage and didn't chase either Def or Resist, knowing I could power through most circumstances (1,125% regen in a mob of 10 or more), and the numbers don't include the AT absorb and +Res.  Speaking of, I have adopted the philosophy of using the AT procs in AOEs, so they fire, nearly every use/mob.

 

Finally, WP has a great T9 power in SoW.  In my opinion, it's what Unstoppable should be on Inv.  50% drop in end, when it drops, which a med blue or ageless activation takes care of.  I use it all the time, where Unstop is a mule-only power on all my Inv tanks...and his name includes "Will", so there's that 😄

 

Hope this helps:

The Tailor should allow you to turn off the pom-poms, or switch to a less obvious theme (Dark?). I'm used to them, but tinted the pompoms to white.
