Wow some amazing builds on these forums. Glad to see the game is still going strong 🙂

 

Anyone have a Tank Shield/Energy Melee build with Flight please? I've been gone a couple years and I'm leveling up this alt right now ðŸ™‚ dam I forgot how fun this game is!

 

 Is it possible to make a Brute that can tank the end-game trials? Or tank is just way better?

 

Thanks!!!

Here's my shield/nrg tank. Flight already in place. I've thought about making scrapper/brute versions of her as I did with my main claws/sr but never got around to it. Brute will push out more damage (but tank to brute is closer than brute to scrapper these days) and be squishier (as scrapper to brute is closer than brute to tank on mitigation.)

Awesome! Thank you! 🙂 Would a Brute use the same set up?

It could but you'd have to use different AT IOs in Total Focus and Energy Transfer, plus the brute has lower base numbers for armors so you'll have to take that into account as well.

Looked at it again. I think a direct port of my build to a brute would be a nogo. Being over 8 pts from the softcap on range and aoe will hurt. Edit: Of course, this is solo. On teams you won't notice the loss on the mitigation side but regardless of AT, you will notice all the corpse blasting from Nrg's long animations. Edit 2: On the other hand.... darkest night's tohit debuffs... hrmm.

If you're looking for "TANKEH!".

Also, please note "Phalanx Fighting is set to Zero".

If you want to be godlike, pick anything.

If you want to be GOD, pick a TANK!
