Cheers, MIDs guys; it was good hanging with you what few and short times I managed to on Virtue. I'll hit you all up on the 5M2M boards sometime!

You could always try to work out a "farm trade" with someone you know and trust, such as an agreement that if they would help you get to 50 fast, you could help them with another character or characters?

I have occasionally done Mothership Mondays, but I never knew this amount of thought went into the planning and execution of it. I'm seriously impressed by what you've done!

Grant Cover is actually quite a good power. It gives you some of the Defense Debuff resistance you'll need as Shield - it helps mitigate -Def debuffs from being hit by bullets/swords. Also, your team will appreciate the huge defensive buff it provides. It's a good mule for a LOTG 7.5% enhancement at that.

I would say either the Fire Pool or the Mu Patron pool are good. With Mu you can get a single target blast (Mu Bolts) and Ball Lightning one right after another. With the fire pool though you'll need to grab 2 powers before you can get Fireball. It's a matter of taste, both pools are quite good in my opinion. It's a matter of preference.

What do you want from the build? Softcap defense? Lots of recharge?

I'm trying to put together a build that will allow me to go into zones and fare well in PvP. I've managed to hit 41 KB protection and get quite close to the HP cap, as well as have some decent damage bonuses. I'll be replacing one of the endurance redux enhancements in Acro with a KB protection IO. Any thoughts on this build? Improvements I can make?

Here is something that is a lot more resilient/tanky than the previously posted builds. You lose some of the AoE, however. It is softcapped to Smashing/Lethal defense as well as having permadom.

Does anyone here have some good builds or build suggestions for a Rad/Psi defender built around zone PvP? What are some good incarnate options?

I have had a spines/fire scrapper since the first day the combo was available, and I wrote a guide on it (which is in sore need of an update before I put it back in my sig). The build you posted is good, but it isn't efficient enough for AoE purposes.

Here is the following build I would consider using if you want something to kill lots of stuff, very fast, and efficiently. Hopefully it will be affordable. I HIGHLY recommend keeping the Ragnarok: Chance for Knockdown in Throw Spines, because it will offer you a great deal of damage mitigation.

This version of the build is undoubtedly endurance heavy, so I tried to cut down on that where possible. Getting the Cardiac is wise.

It is essentially impossible (or at least highly impractical) to softcap a Spines/Fire to S/L defense, however, this build is one small purple away from that cap. With the small purple, you'll almost be to the softcap in terms of melee defense too. The key to NOT DYING as a Spines/Fire is playing smart, and having layered defenses. Let me know what you think.

Necro, you can actually quite easily get to the softcap on S/L/M without even needing the Gladiator +3%. I reworked your build very slightly, so now you'll have Hasten properly slotted along with the rest of it, and you're still over softcap for the three positions.

My biggest problem with your build is that it seems like you overcommit to this. I'd go insane if I didn't have a ranged attack or two. It would be my suggestion to you to swap to something with S/L defense softcap build (not melee, however) and with an epic pool if you want a ranged attack. My suggestions would be Mu or Ghost Widow.

I feel like a S/L defense softcapped SS/Elec/* brute would probably be able to tackle these challenges well. The reason is that it has capped energy resistance, which is a common damage type at the endgame, as well as some psionic resistance. The only thing it doesn't have is toxic resistance, except when in Power Surge. However, not many endgame mobs do toxic damage.

/Elec tankers, brutes and scrappers handle mob types like Carnies and Malta exceptionally well, and Rularuu also. Power Sink is a vital tool, and the end drain resistance that it carries is the highest of any powerset in the game.

As for epic pools, it's a matter of taste. Personally, I like the Mu pool for additional end drain and sapping capability, but Darkest Night and Dark Obliteration from Ghost Widow's PP are also quite potent.

This is the current build I'm running.

IF you can introduce a Gladiator +3% Defense IO into either build, it can become far more efficient. Not only that, but you can make some different power choices. You gain greater flexibility.

EDIT: Whoops! I just noticed you said "No purples". Instead, I would suggest slotting 5 pieces of Obliteration and the Force Feedback proc (which is uber).

For AoE damage purposes, I'd argue that fire/psi/mu is one of the best combinations once one has permadom. There is a great damage output, and you a pet that heals and can be made permanent is quite nice.

Sold to @SwiftJammer! Thanks!

Asking price for this recipe is 2.5 billion. My preferred method of contact is a tell to @Kalen, and if you can't reach me that way, send me an ingame e-mail!

I've noticed a decreased drop rate also. The message is - if you want to continue to farm these, you need more accounts. Okay, I say. More accounts it is.

Sold!

Hey all, I'm looking to sell this Shield Wall (uncrafted) proc, it is level 50. Asking price is 2 billion. Contact me via my global in-game at @Kalen. Thanks!

While it is sad to see you both go, I have tons of respect for you two going out this way, it's a great way to give back. It is a generous way to give back (not to mention the priceless names you intend to release!). Best of luck with real life and other future endeavors, I'll keep in touch!

Sold!

This is crafted already. Send me a tell (@Kalen) or PM here on the forums and we can set up the trade.

Asking price is 2.5 billion.

Sold!

Hey all, decided I could make more money with this being off of the BM. I'll part with it for 1.1 billion, send a tell to @Kalen and we can arrange the sale if you're interested.
