Bio/TW Tanker build

[vmercuryv]

My first attempt at IOing out a level 50 character any feedback is welcome since I am still quite new to CoH endgame and maxing out IO slot potential. I'm a bit unsure of taking maneuvers and Tactics for the last picks, i was toying around with the idea of putting in Focused Accuracy and Physical Perfect from Energy Mastery. It would lower my defenses some, but increase my overall endurance recovery. Any bio armor experts out there willing to give me some pointers?

This char seems more built like a brute than a tank; ablative and DNA siphon not maxed, attacked mostly maxed, weave late, no hasten (for ablative and siphon). Why no adaptation or taunt?

 

Just my thoughts.

Hasten and Adaptation are both in the build.

 

From my understanding Taunt becomes less necessary and you can rely on your attacks/taunt aura to do the work? I don't have much end game experience though, so i could be very wrong on this?

 

Based on IO/sets and bonuses that I've seen it seems that a lot of defense and resistance bonuses come from the Damage sets. So it would seem to fine to buff up your attacks while getting the defense/resistance you need. I am still not familiar with every single set or bonuses I may have missed. I know Tankers won't be putting out the DPS a well built Brute can, but i don't wnat my Titan weapon to be hitting like a wet noodle either.

[Jaegernault]

Recent updates to tanks should make this a lot more viable too. The trick to bio armour is its not a resistance or regen set, its all about type defence and a stackable absorb shield. 2 recharge in your t9 bio armour is all it needs.  Ablative carapers needs 6 slots alas but those 2 powers will be what stops you even needing to regenerate
