It still doesn't seem a great combo because it has no heal to help put back what gets through your RES during the crash and then it also has no endurance tools outside of the very occasional One With the Shield.   That would be an issue with any secondary that doesn't help endurance, but SS also hits you for a 25% endurance crash (every minute if you are double-stacking Rage).  You'll probably need to pull out all the stops for endurance recovery via IOs, Pool, and maybe Incarnates.  Perhaps less so if you only aim for Perma-Rage.

You would have to focus effort on increasing regen and recovery so that crashes are survivable. You'd want endurance to stay high enough crash does not detoggle you. High regen on shield is probably worth it in any event. Doing both of these things probably takes double stacked Rage off the table though.

Sure! Here you go. The defense is overkill for most things, but I wanted to be over the incarnate soft cap.

Hey I was thinking about trying this tanker, it looks pretty cool. I wanted to ask, is there a real important reason for both thunder kick and storm kick, or just for slotting purposes. like can i throw one of the AT sets in a more damaging (and cooler looking :D) MA ability instead of thunder or are those 2 crucial for the low recharge/chance for xyz enhancements they have on them.

 

im a bit new to tanker but this looks fun and I've been doing solo ITF +4/8 stuff with my SS/wp brute so trying to keep going in that direction with some different kinds of builds

This is correct.  Charge into Footstomp is a hell of a drug, though.

Both are crucial for DPS. Attack chain is Storm Kick, Crippling Axe Kick, Storm Kick, Gloom, Thunder Kick. I can't remember exactly why which enhancements went where at this point, but recharge speeds and maximizing procs was at least part of the consideration.

 

Edit: Averaged 334 DPS across 10 Pylons with Offense Amplifier, Musculature Core, and Ageless Core.

Yea I actually, since having posted my question, had completed my first full set of ITF +4/x8 with this build, and it worked amazingly. However, I did notice through experience using the build that thunder kick would be way better just because eagles claw is so slow. But other than that it's just tanked everything perfectly and does a surprising amount of damage at the same time.

 

My question though, you say musculature core, do you stick with using musculature core when using ageless core? I had been using cardiac core when using ageless radial, but upon discovering how great ageless core is, i'm wondering if I should go musculature now if it's covering the heavy end use. But I haven't tested it, only asking

Late to the party. I'd second/third/fourth Shield Defense for a Tanker. I have a SD/Psi 'Psycho Maiden' which is nigh on unkillable, with just a little active input.

I have a thematic issue with SD/MA - MA should not have been allowed with Shield. Have you ever seen a Martial Artist using a shield without a weapon in their main hand...? MA is a 2-handed powerset and should have been restricted as such imo. 

Game over man, game over!
