Frosty15 Posted Thursday at 03:15 PM Posted Thursday at 03:15 PM My tank is sitting on 50 % energy resist, i want to get it close to 90% to tank LR. Is that possible with set bonuses.

Is that possible with set bonuses. We gotta know your secondary powerset to have any clue if this is possible. Your current build would probably help even more, but sets will help a whole lot. To answer your question, I'm going with a very confidently solid "maybe". Edited Thursday at 09:01 PM by The Trouble Clarity!
Maelwys Posted Thursday at 09:26 PM Posted Thursday at 09:26 PM Hyperstrike has been MIA for a while (Health troubles I think? There was a Dev post a while back confirming that he was safe and being looked after by family) so a direct response might not be forthcoming. But in answer to the OP... reaching about 60-70% resistance to non-S/L on an INV Tanker is quite doable with IOs and ATOs. However going higher requires a fair bit of build sacrifice or specific melee powersets (like Staff) or alternating clicky buffs like Melee Core Hybrid and Rune of Protection. There are some examples here (check the linked post and the next 10 or so replies) That said... maybe just aim for Softcapped Defense with one foe in range of Invincibility plus 60% ish resistance then buy half a tray of Super Orange insps from the AH (or email them to yourself) before the LR mission? 1
MonteCarla Posted Thursday at 10:49 PM Posted Thursday at 10:49 PM (edited) I assume you already have the Shield Wall and Reactive Defences uniques This page gives you all the sets that improve Energy Resistance through normal set bonuses: https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Category:Sets_that_improve_Energy_Resistance (you can sort by value, and look at the slots) Gauntleted Fist is a no-brainer. 4 x Shield Wall in Invincibility gives a good bonus Unbreakable Guards are good - you can fit multiple sets. Adjusted Targetting in Rage/Build Up? 3 Force Feedback in some attacks You'll have fluctuating values due to the Reactive Defenses scaling buff and up to 3 +7% stacks of Might of the Tanker's proc bonus. Don't also forget: Rune of Protection (+18.75% for 1 min out of 3) Wedding Band temp power (+30% for 2 hours) Base Empowerment Buffs (+5%) P2W Buff (+7.5%) Orange pills, which are very cheap on the AH! Getting to a flat 90% always on with Invulnerability is very hard, but there's lots of ways to be at 90% when you really need it.

WuTang Posted yesterday at 11:09 AM Posted yesterday at 11:09 AM (edited) This is not my build, but I forget whose it is. At any rate, as far as resistances go, this build has the best I'd seen for Invulnerability. Hmm, won't let me upload....brb Server issues won't let me upload... I'll try again later.

For Lord Recluse, you are going to want a fast recharging Dull Pain. The Energy Resist is not nothing, but my experience is that Dull Pain and Destiny Healing goes much further for Invuln tanking of LR. The MLTF is one of the few areas of the game where my Invulnerability Tanker ends up using Hasten (for Dull Pain).
Warshades Posted 22 hours ago Posted 22 hours ago I can post a few examples with different secondaries when uploading is fixed, but hitting 80-90% on all damage types is possible for invulnerability. As others mentioned, most of your e/n resist will come from set bonuses. 3 pieces of Unbreakable Guard (5 pieces if you want to close toxic psi resist holes), 4 piece Shield Wall in defensive powers (like Invincibility, Tough HIde, Weave, and Maneuvers), and splitting the Superior Gauntleted Fist set into 2 sets of 3 pieces to double up on the 6% e/n resist bonus. Pair this with cardiac or resilient core alpha incarnate to boost resists further, factor in SMoT, and add all the unique +resist IO's and you can easily reach 80-90% on e/n. 2
