FF/Sonic tanky fender feedback

[mistagoat]

It's fun to make a squishy tanky so here is a FF/Sonic I built. Soft capped all the positional defense and hard capped s/l resistance plus lots of knockdown and stun. I took it to test and it did great w/o incarnates against 4x8 w bosses council. Bosses are a little slow but it holds up really well. Council aren't the most challenging enemy but they provide a nice baseline. I took sonic for the -resist but was wondering if anything pairs better with FF.

Anyway here is the build, I'd love to see some tweaks to it, thanks!

Well, since I got so much positive feedback, I made this in game now. It's pretty fun! No incarnates yet but got all the main accolades and did the Incarnate unlock arc with ease. My 1 and only death was at the hands of Anti-Matter and I think I forgot to hit Dampening Bub and got my def stripped. I did some 3x8 Malta radios to see how those dam Sappers would mess with me. Turns out the dont as long you remember Dampening Bubble. They were as easy as council except for the annoyance of teleporting gunslingers. 

I wish it did a little more AOE, something like a fireball or rain power would really round it out but I can't really complain. Between Repulsion Field with KD/Force Bomb and Oppressive Gloom/Screech everything is falling down or stunned and easy pickings. It's not perfect, even with the Scrapper level res/def, bosses can take a quarter of your life when they connect since hp is low but they rarely get a second hit to connect.

Even though its mostly built for solo play it still brings about 38% def (amongst other things) to a team.

It's a niche build made as a lark but it's surprisingly sturdy and fun to play!
