Tanker project - SR / EM

Troo · January 14, 2023

Hey Tankers, I may need a little help here. I'm committing to making a money-is-no-object tank. I've settled on Super Reflexes / Energy Melee with Rune of Protection for some resistance when needed.

I've made tanks before. Twenty seven-ish. Most have been abandoned in the 30s and 40s. Eight have made it to 50 and three or four getting played.

(normally I'm a Stalker, Corruptor, Brute, or even Blaster (for pew pew fun))

Here's what gets played:
Shield / Energy
Elec / Stone
Rad / Super
Ice / Axe ( I liked this because they were a unicorn at one point)

What do these have in common? They hit hard and are fairly resilient. So that's what I'll be shooting for here.

With this many Hamis it is an expensive build.

For Incarnates I'm leaning toward Musculature Core and Assault, Agility and Degenerative are also options but weighing pros and cons. I'm currently vet level 6 and it's a bit of an endurance piglet (hoping 53ing the toggle HOs will help).

------------

Your build puts out a pretty absurd amount of damage, even before adding Musculature. I can see how it would end up being a little end-starved. I would go Musc Radial instead of Core. You gain a tiny amount of end mod in exchange for a small amount of damage that is easily made up by boosting every HO and VR. And you get a little more zoom to your step. Always nice.

I personally also prefer to cap Slow Resistance if possible for the quality of life it gives you. Team buffs will rule over all but knowing you can always rely on your own maneuverability and consistent recharge goes a long way.

May I ask why Chance for +Absob in Spirit Ward? Does that work if I'm not casting it much?

It's a Global proc, so it will still work as long as you have it slotted. No need to activate the power it's in.

Troo · January 15, 2023

@Spaghetti Betty Your build is significantly tankier. This is a big help to see.

Yes I was going for heavy hitter (and I hate misses) but you've shown I may have gone too far at significant cost.

Question: Did you have slots left over?!

(I had to hand input it as I use an older version of mids and had 3 slots left over)

I do love your 6 slotted Health.

Question: Is the 6% Heal set bonus for 4 slotting Numi worth more than the 25% Regen from Regenerative Tissue?

(this is where mids can get me in trouble and I stop trusting it for 2hp/sec)

Uh, there was 1 nagging slot that i had no idea where to put but I thought i placed it before posting the build. I'm no longer at my PC so I'll have to check again for you later.

I didn't actually test to see for sure. That's just how I normally slot Health on my SR toons.

Spaghetti Betty · January 15, 2023

Good morning! It's 1 pm

I double checked the build again to make sure I didn't have any extra slots. and I did in fact make sure they were all placed beforehand. Here's a visual if it helps.

It does seem to be @Troo that popping the +Regen IO in Health garners slightly more Regen than the 4th Numina, about 2 HP/sec based on what Mids is telling me.

Thanks @Spaghetti Betty

The exporter makes it look like just one HO in a couple places.

BUT this is a good thing as it has lead to asking how much ACC is enough and noticing I could chase more ResEffect 2 slotting Brawl with some Winters.

Spaghetti Betty · January 15, 2023

Whenever I normally make a proc-heavy build, I will 3 slot attacks with a Winter set (Acc/Dam, Acc/Dam/End, Acc/Dam/Rech) to nab the Slow RES and F/C RES. That will usually end up being "just enough" ACC that I'm not missing all the time against +4s. Any heavy hitters (KO Blow, ET, Freezing Touch) won't get ACC bonus for the simple fact that Build Up is usually used before these powers are fired. This will result in the build being a lot safer but pumping out a bit less damage than a Hami O build.

aethereal · January 15, 2023

I have heard, but can not confirm, that healing set bonuses, unlike healing enhancements, only affect actual healing: not regen and not absorb.

Edited January 15, 2023 by aethereal

Troo · January 15, 2023

Update

Still side by siding Betty's build and weighing compelling tradeoffs.

Currently I've bumped up the Recharge Debuff Resistance to 100 and am debating if I have too much accuracy.

If I can shed some accuracy I may chase some regen (which is currently woeful), if not I may add a healing proc to Gloom... Anyone happy with Entropic Chaos Heal Self?

Having just 1 in the build? Probably not worth the slot IMO. It's a pretty minimal heal and not extremely consistent. If it were possible to have multiple I'd say go for it.

Slightly unrelated, I was messing around with an Elec/SR Sentinel at one point that had multiple Entropic and Power Transfer self heal procs and that ended up being good enough I didn't have to chase regen that hard.

Edit: If you're worried about HP management on an SR Tank, don't be. Remember that you'll be creeping up to capped RES the lower your HP gets, so the small amount of Regen you have will go a long way.
