Dark/Dark/Soul Tank build notes/suggestions.

[Thraxen]

Went for pretty close perma recharge/soul drain and 80% recharge debuff protection.  Resists are capped to most aside from energy and toxic.  Heal is up every about 9 seconds.  Defenses are about middle but with no ddr didn't wanna go that route.  Any notes appreciated.

no soul transfer (everyone is defeated in tough content)

 

no midnight grasp???

 

built for defense....

 

the preventative medicine proc in health is doing little for you on a build with that much healing, shove the slot to stamina and a 50+5 endmod i/o

Only times I've died thus far have been to recharge debuffs.  I have self rez on a scrap that is willpower and have yet to use it, even during hard stuff. 

 

I don't like the noodles or the other animation.  Have plenty of attacks without it.  

 

Not really build for defense.  Fell backwards into like 30% melee just from other sets and weave.  I went for resist first, then getting very close to perma hasten and soul drain after.  

 

The preventative medicine proc seems like it would be great on a dark.  It will fire a lot I imagine.  I don't have it yet on my lowbie but he will shortly. I shouldn't need the more end.  It nets 2% and has cardiac on top of attack slots.  I use the dark consumption some now while leveling but end isn't as good either.

if you are not planning to do 1 star lgtf, 1 star ITF, (or more stars) or running a lot of Seon you are probably fine.

 

Any Tank is a god in regular content.  Just looking at flaws as the pressure increases at high end.

 

Not taking Midnight Grasp though?  c'mon,,,

We’ll see on self rez. I’ve tanked 4 star ITFs on stone and sr and never wanted or needed a self rez. Generally was team wipes and wanted to reset.  Was at end. 
 

heal is up every 9 seconds. And 80% resist to recharge debuff. 
 

I don’t like the noodles and the alt animation either. I’m unsure how much that gimps it really.  Think rest of attacks will be plenty. 

[Thraxen]

Am gonna get the self rez.  

 

Gonna try and use hover all the time too.  I like the look of lil fluff ball floatin around.  

 

Might try midnight grasp again.  Maybe I'll like the noodles.  

 

I'm having decision fatigue at this point lol.

Maybe this?  I like Darkest Night for AVs but don't want it rest of time.

Darkest Night serves 3 functions for me.  1) debuff AV.  2) grab agro, even ranged (especially?)  You can jump at two groups.  Land in the center of first, taunt, and throw Darkest Night in a bodd in the other.  boom, you are tanking 2 groups.  3) debuff large group of hard targets like minotaurs or such.

 

You only need 2 rech in haste.  if worried 50+5 them.  

 

What are you doing with Dark Regen?  Seriously.  If you hit 1 target it fills your health from 1% to 100$.  take that extra hasten slot and 6 slot Thefor of essence (I prefer Youch of Nictus) and get 4.5% Energy Res...
