Can someone help me with this build my goal is for the build to be a solid tank.

Gauss build up in soul drain is an interesting choice I may have to try that...

I don't mean to oversimplify, but if you want the highest durability, why not go tank?  Tanker ATO with Willpower means much better resistances than Brute.

[Without_Pause]

Can you post the data so people can simply copy/paste the build in?

 

1. You are slotting for debuffs which will have small numbers even if fully slotted out for it. 

2. Dark Obliteration and Soul Tentacles are single slotted AoEs with no real Acc. I wouldn't take them unless you are putting in 5+ slots. Maybe 4. Maybe. ST has an partial Acc. I still wouldn't slot for Immobilization. 

3. A Performance Shifter: Chance of End is better than the End Mod.

4. I wouldn't slot Fear in ToF. The bonuses you are going for aren't worth it. Slot for damage. Slot damage procs as you will. 

5. Rise to the Challenge. You're best defense is Regen and not the ToHit Debuff. 

6. Weave. This goes for other powers. Due to Enhancement Diversification(ED), you are getting little return out of slotting a power for a single attribute 3+ times. You are many times over better off 4/5-slotting a single Def based set into it. Again, this needs to be done for other powers as well. 

7. You will get far more mileage out of 3-slotting Brute's Fury twice for it's bonus across two powers versus 4-slotting it in one. 

8. You want Hasten 2-slotted with two Level 50 Recharges which have been boosted to 50+5.

9. I would slot Soul Drain for damage. If you want +ToHit, Tactics and FA are there for the taking.

10. I assume you want a durable Brute since you didn't even take Taunt. If you want a durable Tank, roll a Tanker.

@Wingslord24 with the Homecoming improvements to Tanks (allowing greater AoEs), players might prefer this combination on a Tank rather than a Broot. (especially if the goal is tanking for teams). Without_Pause has provided valuable feedback.

 

IF your goal is a solo tank class character, Broot makes sense. In this case you may need to up your single target attack chain.

Regardless, I might swap Dark Obliteration for Darkest Night as it is a more effective To Hit debuff and will argo anything near the target.

Darkest Night has the added benefit of Damage debuff.

 

 

Who is a Tank? Tankers, Brutes, Peacebringers & Warshades are all considered Tanks in the character creation screens.
