Hey everyone.. I just started playing CoH a couple of days ago, and after some playing around I've decided on making on Tanker. While I am new to the game, I have been a tank for pretty much my entire MMO career. I played and main tanked WoW's endgame as a Warrior, a Paladin, and a Death Knight for almost 4 years. I love to tank, and I understand what tanking is and what it involves (in a general sense, of course).
I did have a few questions regarding Tanking and power sets in CoH before I fully committed though.
For starters, I was looking for a combo that would be good for tanking yet also allow for decent leveling/soloing/small group stuff. I always see people saying "just pick what sounds fun", but fun for me is not using sub-par skills/abilities.
Right now I'm using Inv/SS which seems pretty decent, but I'm still undecided. WP, Ice Armor, and Shield also all look interesting as far as Primary sets go. Same with Dark Melee in Secondary.
So really, I'm undecided as far as the following:
Primary: Inv, WP, IA, and Shield.
Secondary: SS and DM
Are there any combinations of those sets that people might consider "the best"? I'm aware that there might not be a "best", but I'm really just looking for some general strengths/weaknesses of certain combos in different situations.
Thanks for any tips or suggestions.
