I've been working on my first Tanker - a Shield/Electric Melee hero that takes advantage of the easy defenses, great AoE, and teleports these two archetypes offer. The character has been a lot of fun and is getting really powerful as I start to hit softcap defenses. I'm just looking to get some feedback on my slots with the goal of efficiently raising resists. Aside from a Spines/Fire Brute farmer, this is my first melee character to get slotted with sets so I'm not too familiar with standard tricks that go into building a tanker or where to put the ATOs, etc. Any help is appreciated!

I've done another pass through this build in order to improve gameplay a bit, specifically by slotting a more recharge-heavy set into SC and LR and by re-arranging when certain powers are trained to improve exemplaring. The end result is soft capped defenses, 85/85/41/41/43/43/43/30 S/L/F/C/E/N/T/P resists which puts me at the S/L cap with a single proc from the Tanker resist ATO proc. Also, some extra regen and heal/absorb procs to make up for the lack of self-sustain in the SD and EM. Any additional feedback or suggestions are still appreciated!
