    Thank you for posting as well, HarbingersGale!

    You're right, I did say cost is not a barrier, in theory, and it's awesome to see what could be switched around, for future designs. Right now, I'm playing around with the original build ideas, as suggested by Finduilas, and did a bunch of that slotting today. That, of course, has me completely broke and working on building up some more funds.

    Now I have another plan to look at, and build towards! I see myself having both builds, in the end, one with Shadow Maul, for when I want to just punch out some quick x8 missions to build up the funds, and then the more ST focused build for team content where ST endings are the focus.

    Thanks for the advice as well, LSK. Thankfully, we have dual builds, so I plan on playing around with both at their right times, the second slower than the first, since I'll be saving

    Thank you very much, Finduilas.

    I definitely was going for the Psi protection, largely from a few things I had read, but your logic and thought on it makes good sense. I'll definitely be taking that advice and switching it up.

    To be honest, I'm really thankful for your write-up. That's what is helping the most, since it shows me the why. I do love the build, and I'll definitely be giving it a go. I just tapped 47, so I can start building up the final set-up.

    So, an all around thank you, again, for your response

    Yes, this is my first post. I'm the typical lurker, who has spent my time learning, and using the search feature to try it all before settling in. I've played around with a dozen or so Tanker combinations, before deciding I absolutely love this one.

    I'm not a Mids'/build guru, so I'm coming here to ask for some advice! I built this up from the bits and pieces I've seen along the way, just aiming for the numbers that seem to be working for the stuff I want to do.

    My goals for this character are to keep things moving at a fast pace (recharge, combat flow, recovery), to be tough enough to handle top content and to be damaging enough to hit up a couple of AE missions while I'm waiting for the next thing to come up, or to be able to afford more improvements.

    In theory, cost isn't a barrier, as I'll just keep on saving up the Inf to get the next piece, bit by bit, til I have what comes out of suggestions, so I'm looking for the top-end suggestions.

    Skills, I'm open for changing them around some, if it REALLY has a solid effect on the overall performance.

    Oh, and thanks a ton, in advance for any help!
