Dr4go0n Posted January 21 Posted January 21 (edited) Hey there, new poster but longtime player here. I just recently learned about the tank changes that happened awhile back, and also the changes to Dark Melee. I've always loved Dark Melee, and currently just have an itch to play tanker. I have multiple toons that can solo and are more aimed toward AV/ ITF content. So I'd really just like a build that stands up to most Story Arcs. I've heard the greatness of Stone Armor so figured that was the best thing to cram in so I wouldn't be end drained a lot and still have toughness. My only experience with stone was on live as a stone/stone brute though, so I don't know what's worth and what isn't. Any help would be appreciated! I'm looking mainly for Perma-Hasten, a STRONG proc aura that inherently taunts, so I'm not so reliant on my taunt. And Fold Space so I can manage mobs well. And any tips on the proper rotation of Dark Melee on tanker with the tweaks to maul etc. I also only use Pine's Hero Builder, so if you could link it as a pines file that'd be amazing!!

Sovera Posted February 4 Posted February 4 My own preference towards the best middle ground has been Fire Melee for the fast animations and two PbAoEs. I found DM's AoE too slow for soloing, but if you like Dark Melee then stick to it as the small heal and endurance clickie kinda patch Stone's weaknesses. The build has 45% defense, 63% resistances (70% with one ATO stack, 76% with two), near capped HP, and 60 HPS regen. If you're not a flier you can replace Evasive Maneuvers for Weave (no need to add more slots to it) and be at 50% for those defense debuffing factions. This is not a leveling build but I can cook something up if desired.
