Rad / Dark Melee Tanker

[Xhi]

Hey guys, I have been looking around the forums and have ben trying to theorycraft another Tanker. I have a Dark/Staff tanker I really enjoy and I wanted to make another one. I'm looking to do Decent dmg while being able to do higher end content, Not consistently but have the ability to. This is what IVe come up with I'm not great at builds and would like some feedback as to what I can change/Modify. Thanks in advanced.

While your defensive numbers seem good, your slots are kinda all over the place. I'll save you a wall, but almost all of your Dark melee powers (save ToF, nice one on that) are underslotted. They all hit hard and should be slotted accordingly. The same goes for Ground Zero and (to a lesser extent) Radiation Therapy. Both of these powers can be turned into devastating proc bombs that will handily floor mobs.

 

I would also argue against chasing DEF if you're going Rad Armor. It's strengths lie in it's high RES, Absorb, and HP management. You'd be far better off chasing recharge and max HP for safety. Oh, and damage, because dead things can't hit you.

 

Here's an example of something that seeks to maximize damage and healing:
