Need Help Making an Invulnerability Duel Blade Tank.

[Battle-Angel]

Hi am made a Duel Blade Tank, but I need some help making him. I wanted to ask if yall can help me make a build that best optimizes Dual Blades and the Invincible power sets. I'm hoping to tank really well, while also using the powers fly, hover, and fold space.

 

My toon's name is Mech Kid, he's a tech inspired too. Here is a screenshot of my toon, maybe it might inspire some cool builds 🙂

I'll start by saying that I don't really like or play Dual Blades, so take some of my slotting and power picks with a grain of salt. I kept One Thousand Cuts in case you wanted it and liked the animation. I personally don't like the long animation time, but as an invuln you shouldn't have any issues or risk of dying while using it. Feel free to swap it out for something else if you dislike it also.  With you wanting both fold space and fly pools, I've dropped the fighting pool (really all you want from it on invuln is Weave). This makes it a bit more difficult to hit soft cap defense with 1 foe in range of invincibility, but this gets pretty close. Ideally, Dull Pain could probably use a few more slots invested to keep it more perma, but this is not a high recharge build as it's focused more on defensive/resist bonuses.

 

As a second side note, I don't like using fly pool. Not sure on how this will feel and if there's enough fly speed slotted. This is a very rough build and could definitely use a second look over and better slot investment guide on hover/fly/evasive maneuvers. Definitely adjust the levels at which powers are taken as you want, I simply reworked a different invuln tank build I had to Dual Blades while picking up the fly/TP pool. Also when loading into mids, you'll need to reset invincibility to 0 enemies within range and then back to 1, there's a known bug of it not showing proper values when loading in.

I'm still new to this as well, but the build looks good stats wise. I don't mind giving up Evasive maneuvers to either beef up defense or dmg. Evasive is only functional outside of combat. Fly's default speed is ok, the afterburner power is already good, so I'm not really worried about the travel speed. It be nice to somehow get some weave somewhere in there. But other than that, the build looks generally good.
