Hi all,

I'm coming back after being away since I10 and I decided to try out a Shield/SS tanker, back in I10 I took a stone/stone tanker up to 34. I enjoyed the tanker but didn't like how slow it played when in granite form. My other mains are in my sig below.

I know IOs were around back in I 10 but I don't remember if sets were around back then and I have no clue what the good sets are or how much I even need to invest to buy them so I just slotted with regular SOs.

I'm currently level 15 and I've noticed that while S/L mobs don't really give me any trouble, mobs that use fire or some other sort of energy give me a hard time. Was doing a few missions against hellions last night and I kept getting torn up by Damned that were about 2 levels above me. Granted don't use enhancements until about level 20 as before that you move through the levels so fast.

I didn't see any guides for Shield so I thought I'd post my build and ask for some feedback on it. Any comments or if anyone could point me to a good writeup on the different sets and who benefits the most from what sets would be great.
