SR/?? Super Reflexes and (Recommendations)

[Groovy_Ghoul]

I would like to try out a SR tanker. Any recommendations for secondary and why?

 

I'm currently leaning towards Claws or Savage Melee but open to your opinions.

 

Thanks in advance.

I've been running a SR/Savage, on the TT Saturday tour, and he's been a blast.  Mid-30s, with only common IOs and the Tanker ATO procs (and a few uniques, for good measure).  He's really tanky and does a $hit-ton of damage, to boot.  I've never run SR on a tank, so just leveling with every power and trying everything out.  For that matter, haven't run SR on anything but a scrap, on live, pre IO system, before...so am certainly no expert.

 

Have fun and, as David Lee Roth famously said..."tell us how you do!"

Dark melee is a solid choice.  You get a self heal to fill in that gap.  SR is an amazing set on tanks though, you really can't go wrong with secondary.

Bout anything would be fine. Mine is katana and it’s cool. Dark and rad get the heal. Won’t really need it though. Dark does minus to hit which works well with sr. Spines would be my vote if you don’t have spines already. Big aoes on tank and slows are cool. Damage aura helps taunt.

Dark Melee all the way for SR. I have a Shield/Dark Tanker and the versatility, Damage, and survivability are unmatched. Throw in procs with the melee attacks and you have a killing machine.

Stick enough recharge in Claws and your AoE attack chain is FU, Spin, And Shockwave. The recharge Shockwave for my EA Brute is listed at 4.82 seconds. That's cone sized 100% KB/KD at range. Add is Focus and Slash as your ST attack chain and things tend to be on their butts.

 

I do like my Savage/rad Brute so far, but Savage doesn't offer near the mitigation.

Dark melee would be my min max option.  But the character I'm running now is SR/Psi.  It's been alot of fun.  I like the animations, the concept, and its no slouch otherwise.  Greater Psi Blade packs a punch and takes procs nicely.  The t9 recharges quickly, and combined with the Cone with a knockdown proc, there is alot of soft control.  I made it to advertise psy friendly groups with a tank adding to confusion based characters, and now I love it for so many reasons.  >50% defense, lots of extra slots and powers and I mean alot.  Just off hand, I can say I six slotted every attack, did not take combat jumping or weave, had every defense proc there is.  I can't stress the extra powers and slots enough.  You can get fold space, pool resist t4's, things that are out of reach on many builds.  Soft capped Defenses at lvl 20 means you will exemplar like crazy, especially with early Lucky because tanker progression.  Six slotting off the wall things like my spirit ward gave me so many resist set bonuses that I'm capped to primary resists at low health, on top of the soft cap.  Rebirth for healing, musculature for more damage, cognitive to boost my confuse because of character concept, melee resist hybrid.  Again, you can take powers just to play around with because your character is functionally set at lvl20+.  Psi resists in enemies are drastically exaggerated, and as a final bonus for me, it's a unique combo I never see anyone use.  I love being the only one.
