Tankers, what are your favorite powersets/builds that lean heavily into fold space?

Hello fellow heroes, as the title suggests, I have recently discovered fold space and I am absolutely addicted to it. I'm curious if anyone has a tanker build that utilizes and/or centers around fold space as a key ability? While we're at it, I'd love to just hear people's thoughts on fold space as an ability, and its viability for tankers!

I always skip it on Melee ATs, personally.

Combat Teleport on the other hand...

My problem with Fold Space is it only seems useful in certain situations.  Whenever I'm in a Praetorian undeground or lab full of ranged enemies spaced evenly out over a football field sized room, I think to myself, "Gosh! I wish I had Fold Space." aaaand pretty much no other time.   There are always other power picks I will use ALL the time to put in my builds vs. this power that only seems useful once in a very long while.

I agree with Maelwys and ZemX, it's very situational and more often than not there are much better powers to pick up over Fold Space on melee ATs. I actually prefer the power on MMs, particularly the melee pet sets like necro and demons. On tanks, Gauntlet does a great job at keeping enemies nearby and there are very few situations that you'd need it. 

 

Fold Space does have a long base recharge so if you're trying to make it as useful as possible, it's best to take it on a high global recharge build so that it's up often. 2 slotted Ectosome Exposure HOs boosted to 53 for the double acc/rech is generally the most efficient way to slot it (though very expensive HOs to get on the market).

It works well for situations as described, but it's also a decent taunt tool of getting extra groups together.   And very useful in the Font of the Labyrinth.

 

That said, it's not a priority power pick.

Yeah responses are confirming my fear that it just isn't worth taking on tankers especially. Thank you all for your replies and thoughts :)

I use Fold Space on several tankers. I like it quite a bit. My current go-to is a Shield/Battle Axe.

I love Fold Space and use it on my melee toons.  It can be quite handy for when someone scatters the mob with a KB, or foes run from a debuff, or you want to add a second or third group to the mix.  I find it's useful almost every time it's up and ready.  

 

I also use it on several blasters and doms.
