Dual Role ( PVE - FF ) Stone Armor / Radiation Melee Tanker

[Grizlee]

  I put many many questions to folks in a FF thread and they graciously supplied well thought, concise and informative answers for which I am very much appreciative. 

 

 It wont be perfect but I feel like it will do the job I'm asking of it. It's leveling very well so far.

This thing is a beast. I ran a +2 Yin last night/This morning 😉 and on the final fight held the door rush by myself while they took down the purple skank. My health got to 1/2 at some point but was never in any danger of taking a dirt nap. Man I dig this combo! 

 

 I was level 22 going in and left 26 and a bit. 

 

I made a change just before joining the ATF. I changed to the build, explained below, and slotted a few attuned in Stamina and Crystal Armor. 

 

I've decided to go with two power transfers ( heal and the + health ) for the regen bump, and the typical two perf shifters for a little run speed. 

 

Otherwise I was all S.Os. The attack powers are my standard acc, recharge and damages. In groups right now I'm mostly a taunting damage sponge. Love it 😄

From level 44  --> I have been able to stand toe to toe with a 50+ in a FF and assist in burning down groups. I became the runner, bringing groups to his waiting heroes. I would taunt the entire time to keep the main AOE nuker alive. I'm well pleased with this build. Made 50 an hour or so ago and look forward to getting her incarnates rolling. I still need all the lvl 50 sets as well. 

 

Too much fun 🙂

Stone is a good set. You could pump your E/N resistances a bit higher if you feel like making some changes. I managed a nice row of 70% to all resistances and still have 45% defenses to all (50% with Weave, 55% with Barrier), 76% with two ATO procs, 81% with Barrier.

 

But it's just some min maxing as the build's near solid as is. Perhaps a bit more E/N defenses since it's just 42% even with Weave which combined with the lower E/N resistances means it'll crumble once facing E/N based defense debuffing (like the annoying Praetorean bots). But it's simple to fix as just a couple slots into Crystal Armor will pump your E/N defenses up.
