SableShrike Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 (edited) Here's the Tank build I'm currently using on Excel. If you MUST have Taunt for Hami raids, say, it's easy to swap out Spirit Ward (it's just a mule). This has maxed Fly and Hover speeds and can fight nonstop unless you're getting hosed by Sappers/Super Stunners. SR/Claws would be another good flying Tank option. Both /Claws and /KM give you two good ranged attacks. I'll usually lead a fight with Repulsing Torrent to flop the spawn, then Burst after I'm in the middle of em. Tanker's inherent buffs that puny Burst radius to a passable size, too. Smashing, Burst, Repulsing, and Focused I've intentionally kept Recharge off in order to maximize the procs firing. The damage added is significant if you do this. Repulsing is also maxed out for Range and has a little Taunt duration on it. This will hit an entire spawn with a little practice, flop them, and Taunt them for 17 seconds. Resists are: S/L 47%, F/C 35%, E/N 23%, P/T 23%. This is without any health lost. Obviously you'll hit cap at low health, but this makes it so you hit cap at higher health retained. Psi can still hurt, though. Fortunata Mistresses are targets of priority, say. Should note, I've built this so every attack has 95% or better Accuracy against +3s, which will be the most common levels you're fighting at 50.

SableShrike Posted October 18, 2023 Author Share Posted October 18, 2023 Bit of an addendum: Focused Bolt and Concentrated are pretty much interchangeable here. I dislike how slow Concentrated is, and Focused being ranged gives me another shot I can snap off while Hovering. On paper, Concentrated procs better and has better DPA. ... but it's SO. DAMN. SLOW. On teams I got sick of Concentrated not even being half-animated and the target's already dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psyonico Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 On my phone, so can't really comment too much on the build, but why the increased Perception IO in Focused accuracy? If you're actually running the toggle you get +perception anyway. What this team needs is more Defenders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're actually running the toggle you get +perception anyway. Fair question! I DON'T actually run the toggle, but of FA or Conserve Power I didn't need Conserve. FA let me slap in the +perception as a mule, so why not? This should have 95% or better Accuracy without FA running. Can swap the IO out for an End Redux and use it if you wish, but it's not usually needed. There ARE a few edge cases where +perception stacking is a good thing; you get it from Focused Senses and Focused Accuracy, plus the unique IO. Versus Arachnos, multiple Night Widows can stack Smoke Grenades to hose you. If you're out of yellows, you're then stuck til it wears off. This prevents that.

SableShrike Posted October 19, 2023 Author Share Posted October 19, 2023 Forgot to mention; the reason for the Perfect Zinger damage procs is against hard targets that pop T9s. If you've ever fought a +4 Cyclops in its T9, most things barely scratch it. Psi will blow right past most of the T9s enemies use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SableShrike Posted October 19, 2023 Author Share Posted October 19, 2023 Version of the above that fits in Taunt at level 10. It meant pushing the passives a little later, but still exemps well.

Psyonico Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 I'm tempted to try this. I really enjoy SR on tanks and KM is a pretty fun set as well. What this team needs is more Defenders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psyonico Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Huh, I didn't even notice the OP didn't include the data link/chunk. I'm going to rebuild this slightly different when I get home, taking the auto powers a little earlier and pushing off evasive maneuvers. When I do, I'll pay my build here too.

Psyonico Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 Here's my take on it, I've never done a proc-heavy build like this, but it should be pretty solid. I made just a couple of slot changes because I felt that end recovery was a little bit too much of a focus, This build shouldn't run out of endurance still, but diversifies a little bit more.

Psyonico Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 I decided that Weave wasn't really doing a whole lot for me, since I was still sitting between the normal soft cap and the incarnate soft cap, so I opted to switch it out for Rune of Protection, giving a bit better survivability, likely. I also swapped out the Overwhelming Force KB->KD to a Sudden Acceleration KB->KD because they tend to be cheaper. Here's what I'll be building towards.
