The Most Unwanted Music
The Challenge: Listen to the entire thing start to finish in one sitting. If you do not, you are merely a weak-willed human being. If you finished it, pat yourself on the back, because I dont care enough to do it for you. -
The person below me gets destroyed by the destruction from the person above me.
-
tl;dr version of all of those posts.
Both ATs are different. Some powersets better for tanking than others. Try them all and find one you like. -
Pics or it didnt happen.
-
Maybe they would if they worked Sundays.
-
I refuse not to take Build Up or Ain when they're available to me.
-
I'm at the resistance cap for S/L. I left the Endurace IOs in there to help out somewhere where the numbers still do something. I also agree on that slot in CJ. I'll shufle it around in mids', as well as the eradication quad. Thanks for all the advice everyone!
-
Welcome to Virtue. Get your /ignore bind ready.
-
Ok. I swapped out Earths Embrace for Spore Burst. Fissure fit the character and Rock Armor... kinda does, but the other powers in the set dont really fit. Earths Embrace did, but I'm not sure I need it. Perhaps picking a different acilliary would be better. Any suggestions? Primal could fit theme-wise as well, but I'm not sure I want to go that route.
Hmm. This decision is too tough. Does anyone know if we'll be able to recolor acilliary powers in i16 as well as our primary/secondary? -
Ok, cool. *looks at mids and realizes the suggestions would cut the price down to an affordable amount*.
Hmmmm.
This version I did with most of the suggestions. S/L and F/C are at the softcap with E/N short by .2%. That .2 I'm not too concerned about though. I also swapped the location of Invincible and Superjump. I left the autopowers where they are, as that's not where they're going to be when I'm leveling. I'll be respecing and reordering them later to where they are now.

These threads dont stop me from wanting i16 immediately.

The person below me's spouce cheats on them with an oversized spider.

The knockback on Shockwave may be brought down. And Confront -> Taunt like Ahmon said. Not really sure what else besides a taunt component to attacks maybe.

Don't neglect Teleport as a possible travel power. All it takes is a bit of practice to use and you can "suddenly appear" in the middle of the spawn with both hot feet and choking cloud (Lockdown proc is really nice) running.
Immobilizes don't bother you since you can still teleport even when immobilied and can actually benefit you. If the immob you are hit with has -KB the mobs actually GIVE you KB protection. -
Leveling my new Invul/Ice tank has been hard, sure. But something tells me it's going to be worth it. After looking around at Call_Me_Awesome's Guide for Invul, I think I've settled on a build I like any advice anyone has would be much appreciated. I've been posting builds for critique like crazy today, hopefully I can get his one settled before I get to 50 so I dont waste any time.
Note: The empty slot in that one auto power is for the PvP +3% Defense IO.

Frost Tactic:
When you've got a "dogpile" situation going on, where you've gathered up a whole bunch of hostiles around you and got them "trapped" in your PBAoE Aura o' Tauntage, I've found it extremely helpful to jump up ... in place. No lateral movement whatsoever, just jump. I don't have Combat Jumping or anything else to especially raise my jump height, so I just natively jump 12' high (known from jumping onto 3D ledges in my base from the ground).
Why is this useful?
Because the cone range on Frost is 10'-15' depending on slotting ... and because the attack results are computed at the time you click the attack.
So what I do is select nearest target, jump as high as I can (12'), and when I'm at highest point of my jump straight up I click Frost to attack. This points a 10'-15', 90 degree cone DOWN at everything underneath me (slight skewage off straight down towards selected target) ... which when I've got a "dogpile on da wabbit!" situation going means I'm very likely to catch everything that was huddled up around me. This means that instead of attack a 90 degree "slice of pie" in front of me, I've instead attacked a pseudo-PBAoE of hostiles around where I was standing.
The "Frost Hop" maneuver is very simple to do, requires "n00bish" levels of manual dexterity/coordination, vastly improves the number of targets I can attack simultaneously with the cone, and does not require me to surrender my current position in order to find a better angle of attack. It's almost become a "no brainer" for me to use in combat, where every time I'm ready to use Frost ... I hop up in the air to blast the cone downwards, rather than staying on the ground to blast it sideways.
"He's intelligent, but not experienced. His pattern indicates ... two dimensional thinking."
I do this on my crab tank with suppression once I have all the enamies where I want them. Until then I Suppression, wait for them to dogpile me, hop out in the direction I want to move them, suppression, etc. It's a very good tactic for keeping aggro while shifting mobs around. It's much easier for me since Suppression is a Legitimate ranged cone, but I can see this working well with Frost as well, with enough range slotted, that is. -
Ice_Ember, that wasn't a bad build, but some of the slotting was very wierd. Like the End/Rech in health? Why? Also, active defense's recharge wasn't enough to have it on all the time. I did a little variation on the slotting and think it's a little smoother. A bit more expensive (maybe not, considering I didn't use HOs), but I feel its more efficient in the long run.

On my Plant/Emp I recently decided to take the Earth Mastery Epic set for theme reasons, and while looking through my build, I realized I only had room for 3 powers from the set. Hurl Bolder doesn't sem very good, so I just skipped over it. I took Fissure aready and I'm currently wondering wether to take Rock Armor, Earths Embrace, or both. I have Earths Embrace on perma (or close enough anyway) in mids' in my current build, but I'm not sure if taking both powers would be beneficial. I'd like to fit Spore Burst in somewhere to slot the chance to placate to help m aggro issues, but I'm really not sure if it's worth it.
Here's the build I've been toying with so far. EDIT: Haven't slotted up roots yet either with anything but generics.
EDIT (again): Would slotting roots for damage, or with damage procs be better in the long run?

Some of the mot reliable PvP tanks I see nowadays are Invul/Stone Melee. Not sure the reasoning behind it, but like the others said, almost anything will be good with enough money. Tanks aren't very picky.
-
As a tribute the epicness of VEATs, my Crab Spider can tank almost anything an Invul Tanker can, not to mention I offer toggle group buffs (including a total of about 20% defense I give my team in return) without sacrificing DPS.

Quote:Very good question. Anyone know?Originally Posted by SaintTzu
Another question: Since it can be slotted with Immobilize IOs, that makes the 'Chance to Hold' proc from the purple set an option.
Anyone have any experience with this, or educated guesses as to how it would work and whether it would be worth slotting? -
Wow. That's the first constructive post I've read all day! I had this happen to me and was quite depressed (luckily I was just testing a mission).
