Culex Posted February 12, 2023 Posted February 12, 2023 I used to have a Stone/Fire granite tank back on live and deleted all my builds, plus I don't know how to build /Dark for tanks. I'd like to be able to do high-end content, with running on x8. Maybe sometimes solo, or teams. Story arc content, raids...just kinda good at Tanking, more than damage dealing? I'm fine buying whatever IOs... Any tips at least? Like skip X powers, use Y powers as IO mules...
Meknomancer Posted February 12, 2023 Posted February 12, 2023 Stone got a big bump a couple issues back its awesome now and you can get away with non-granite builds and still be very tanky. Not sure how you'd be doing that and getting enough recharge for a good soul drain build, especially if you plan to run in granite, you could check out the build @Bopperposted for a stone/ice granite build to see the numbers and how to hit them, swap in dark melee and shuffle stuff til your happy. Its a starting point at least but if you want to exempt down you really want all the toggles now, most can be slotted in interesting ways:
Jeff Krock Posted February 17, 2023 Posted February 17, 2023 I run a lot of stone tanks and brute. I need to share with you..i ALWAYS build for granite but have found MOST of the time, they run pretty darn good OUT of granite. Don't get me wrong I LOVE GRANITE and run in it OFTEN! But try without when you can.... This Hero build was built using Mids Reborn 3.1.2.5https://github.com/LoadedCamel/MidsReborn Click this DataLink to open the build!
