    I'll pass on my build, although it's a Dark/Dark/Soul Defender. With Soul Storm she is able to REALLY crank out the holds. I've locked down Elite Bosses on her for awhile.

    I made one up based on your build. It drops Hasten, but on a melee toon you don't need it that badly. If you do want it you can drop something else.

    Anyway, gets your S/L/E/N defenses to 45% and F/C to 32.5% (IE Small Purple range) on top of having Fireball.

    This is true.

    Truth be told my /FA Brute is a TW.
  4. DoctorWhat
    The reason SS/FA is considered the best farmer is because of Footstomp and Rage.

    Footstomp might be SS's only AoE, but it is very good. And Rage is 2 minutes of power boosted goodness over most sets 10 seconds.
  5. DoctorWhat
    I'll post my own build, mostly for another viewpoint. 45% S/L defense, 37.5% E/N def, and 34.6% F/C. S/L resistance is at 52.8%. Decent, but probably not THE best build. Lots of +5 boosted powers as well.

    I myself don't take SA if I'm using SD on account of Shield Charge being so much better and wanting the extra space for other things. That said, SA is still good.

    SA main advantage is you can get it at level 14 rather than 35. This means when you're still leveling up and exemplared under level 30 you have another AoE attack. Also PBAoE sets take both Oblit and Sirc Dervish, great for Melee and AoE defense bonuses.
  7. DoctorWhat
    It's also worth noting that with a cone and TAoE (Yes TARGETED Area of Effect) Stj has more AoE potential, and being able to slot a TAoE attack adds some nice slotting opportunities.

    And MA does have Build Up, it's just called 'Focus Chi'. Combat Readiness, it should be noted, only boosts your damage by 62.5% compared to 100% like Build Up, but grants you an instant Level 3 Combo Level. CR + Crushing Uppercut = OUCH.

    I'm not saying Spring Attack isn't good, just that SC is better and I, personally, do one or the other to save on power choices/slots.

    Of course I can only recommend he not use both. He's free to make his character as he wants.

    If you are happy with your aoe from shield charge and dragon tail, get body mastery. I find ma/sd to be fairly end heavy, and being able to slot two more performance shifter procs makes a BIG difference: Your Mileage May Vary.

    If you want more AOE, choose a thematically appropriate epic, or, take spring attack from the leaping pool. Spring attack/shield charge/dragontail is a surprisingly potent combo, especially if you pop a focus chi after the spring attack.

    What slotting advice are you asking for? I'd advise you to tinker something together in Mid's and toss it up for people to sniff over.
    I'd recommend AGAINST Spring Jump if you have Shield Charge. Spring Attack is just a watered down version of SC. Sure, it's still good to take if you lack AoE (MA/SS/DM) but SC just outclasses it.

    Swapped Blazing Bolt for Rain of Fire, then looked at your ranged defense. If you can get the Blaster ATO and upgrade them to their superior version you'll nab +10% Recharge and +5% Ranged Defense.

    When in doubt, check the wiki.

    Hulk DOES in fact have resistance to mind control. That being said I support the SS/Inv/Body camp.

    Hulk's biggest thing is he so damned hard to hurt to begin with. Ignore the regeneration factor for a minute, just causing him damage to start with is hard enough. Bullets are useless when fighting him and explosives just tick him off. I would agree that trying to jam in as much regeneration as you could would make the best Hulk toon, but Inv is the best fit for the guy.

    WP is a close second though, I'll grant.

    Pretty much.

    And you don't usually run into cold outside the winter event, and fire isn't much more common.

    For MA I skip Crane Kick myself. I hate the knockback. Cobra Strike now has the same damage, activation time and recharge as CK, with stuns, so it's my preferred choice. Some people also like to skip Thunder Kick. I don't, but that's just me.

    For SD you do not need One With The Shield, but I would take the rest. Yes, even Grant Cover. Grant Cover has about half (IIRC) your Defense Debuff Resistance, as I said earlier.
  14. DoctorWhat
    Shield Defense is great. I have an Stj/SD Scrapper I just started, and a level 50 SD/SS Tank.

    Things to remember is Deflection has both your Melee defense AND S/L Resistance. I like to six slot this power, 3 Luck of the Gamblers and 3 Aegis'.

    True Grit has your exotic resistances, but I prefer to slot heals into it to boost your HP unless I need to mule a set or Steadfast +Def Proc.

    Phalanx Fighting is a good place for a LotG Proc or a Kismet Proc. However you should only one slot it; It'll 3.75% defense unless someone else is nearby. Adding defense to this power will only boost what you get from nearby people.

    Grant Cover should be taken and at least be given an End Red IO. I like 3 slotting LotG in it. Grant Cover grants your allies, but not you, defense. What it does do for you is boost your Defense Debuff Resistance. On teams you should have it on all the time. In solo you can leave it off unless your facing mobs with Defense Debuffs; ie Cims.

    One With The Shield is skippable, but still useful. It crashes, but not as hard as most T9s and it boosts resistance, not your softcappable defense. Recharge doesn't effect it any though.

    To be fair, that one is a little less wince worthy.

    To be blunt, you're still missing bothing Sonic Barrier and Sonic Haven, AKA your shields. Yes, I know it has no effect on you, but it will help your teammates out a lot. And now that they are AoE it's easy to buff everyone on your team.

    Like I said, your build is good for solo play, but that's it. If you ever plan on teaming, even if only to get the Task Force Commander Accolade, those two powers will be loved.
  17. DoctorWhat
    Not sure about name, but I'm thinking Sonic as a secondary with some music/sound based reason s/he controls them.

    Just a basic thought for the moment.
  18. DoctorWhat
    I winced upon seeing this. Just... WINCED.

    I understand that you want tio solo, but this toon would SUCK on teams. You didn't take your buffs or your Ally Centric debuff which means, while on teams, you're not giving out everything you can.

    This is fine for when you solo, but make a second build for teaming.

    The Defender version would also heal more and buff better. The Defender version would also be more survivable due to the superior +def from pools. The Defender version even has a more elegant leveling structure (top end Thermal powers are essential; top end Sonic Blast powers aren't).
    Agreed... To a point.

    Solo, Corrs tend to do better due to their better damage. However for teams (Which, to be fair, the OP said this was for) the defender will pull ahead.

    StJ/SD

    POST-ACTION

    Kinetic Combats aren't very good if you're aiming for Positional defenses. For that, Touch of Death is better.

    This is just a quick, under 5 minutes remake, but feel free to have a look.

    Put simply the best Tanker Minds are those with Force Fields or Traps as a secondary as they have powers that give you mez protection.

    Even so, on my MMs I wouldn't bother with it. Solo I can just use my personal attacks to draw aggro. On teams I'll just make my pets charge forward, drawing aggro away from my teammates.

    Just how I roll.

    IIRC the ATO for Doms doesn't enhance damage any, and Midnight Grasp is a major source of damage. Your better off slotting the ATO elsewhere and boosting MG's damage.

    Looks awesome during it though.

    It also gets the defensive buffs because unlike Rain of Arrows and Full Auto you need to be right in someone's face to use it.

    I think, from my experance thus far (I have a level 44 DP/Dev Blaster) that maybe a slight damage buff is warrented, but I think making the Swap Ammo abilities should be made a little more potent (Even the Fire Ammo's DoT) and give out more exotic damage. As in 50/50 rather than 70/30. Or, hell, even 30/70, with the bulk of the damage exotic.

    That being said I still love the set. It's a lot of fun.
