Hello again!

 

I have something very interesting to share! It's definitely a Tanker build! A Shield/MA to be exact.

 

Except, you might notice something a little strange about this one. *cryptic music intensifies*

Lol, Lmao - Tanker (Shield Defense - Martial Arts).mbd

 

Aaaaah!! I forgot to pick regular powers!

 

So, this is actually a soft necro of this thread, one of the first I made when I discovered HC! Now that I have tons of knowledge, I wanted to give the "Pool Powers Only" concept another shot, with no expenses spared! And, well...

 

This """Tanker""" has softcapped DEF, Hardcapped S/L RES*, Capped Slow RES, Mez Protection**, and 2.6k HP. It also has an additional Oh Shit button in the form of Unrelenting, which puts in a ton of work here. What it doesn't have is a ton of damage or DDR. But it can hit things for what I would amount to "almost as good as Kinetic Melee" levels of DPS.

 

*-With Rune/Melee active plus 1 SMoT proc

**-Clarion or Break Frees needed

 

Anyways, here is me soloing +4x8 Crey with this abomination! There are also some bonus Arachnoid spawns in the end, but that doesn't go nearly as well as the Crey did. I'd call it a success! And we're not going to talk about the fact my recording software cut the video early.

 

 

 

Also, I'd like to give a shout out to @Projector for the inspiration. His "Only Brawl" journey is what got my gears turning for this!

I initially uploaded an older version of the build!

I think looking at the build invokes enough panic as it is... 😛

Enflame is a very important part of the build's AoE DMG and would constantly interrupt the Fear!

But seriously, I considered doing an all-pool character on live and never got anywhere with it.  If you enjoy the challenge, that's awesome.

What this team needs is more Defenders

This is mostly just a proof of concept, but honestly it was performing so well on Brainstorm that I might actually make it for real and see how far I can get it!

Doh I was on my phone and looking at the screenshot for mids and missed that the top row of powers got cut off in your screenshot. That makes sense. I will continue to espouse invoke panic where it makes sense in a build though!

Oh, that's interesting. I was pretty sure I cropped it correctly. I will fix it in a moment!

Ya have a taunt power so good enough for me. Seems like a testament to how good MA is on a tank. Clicking the 1-5 powers with your mouse seems like extra work but if it’s how you play then cool. 
 

I made some silly builds but did it on live and should have probably saved time and did test.

I decided to take this build and solo an ITF at +2x8! It was definitely one of the experiences of all time!

doesn’t look too out of place compared to some of the builds that get posted here

 

i’d recommend picking up shield charge and 6 slotting it for recharge so you can use it as a travel power

If you're not dying you're not living

What about ditching spirit ward for warrior's provocation so you have double taunt?

As funny as both of these are, they would involve picking more primary/secondary picks than the absolute bare minimum!

My baby "Power Pool" Tank is stuck in he's 20s. I haven't really looked at the new sets yet (been VERY busy with life). Just saw this tread and I'll have to compare it to what I have. Thanks for posting.

Forgot to ask, did you level this build up from zero, or did you creatively slot up a 50s alternate build?

This is actually just living on Brainstorm at the moment, but I plan on organically leveling it up on Live soon!

Nuh uh! I took Hasten, you didn't. I also took Flurry, which is the definition of a speedster.

 

You just can't see my fastness cuz I'm too fast!
