    I would slot Dwarf better perhaps how you've slotted shining shield. I really don't slot any shield myself. I don't have time to toggle them on. A jaunt range/end might be better in dwarf step (cheaper). Antagonize, I don't know what you get up to but for me the cast time + rechg * 10 must = taunt duration. If you were to take the lvl3 slot with thunderstrike from Glinting Eye, put it in antagonize with another mocking beratement you get a 1.8 end bonus which is better than that 0.03 bonus thunderstrike has to offer. Being that I look for completely different things in Khelds thats prolly me done, best left to the pros.

    I've played 2 identical combinations of powersets on a defender and corrupter and as far as things went it was reasonably near enough the same. If I did two identical missions one after the other with both, then the one who did the mission first would be at a disadvantage for not knowing what to expect. So it goes for me, how do I want to appear to others? More supportive or offenderish? I think though corrupters would have the edge on soloing and defenders will haver the edge in providing team support.

    If its a character your making then yeah it could prove helpful as the pets take aggro but still doesn't take away all of the mistakes people make playing their characters. You should be able to be any type of defender or controller and have a hope.

    All my tankers will not care whats in team.

    I would easily drop resist elements for CotW, come to think of it. The slotting in DS build is very good.
  7. New Dawn
    The end cost for such a low amount of mitigation would put me off of repulsion.
  8. New Dawn
    Being suboptimal in terms of something is something all characters have to endure.
  9. New Dawn
    You've given up 5% psionic defense for a bit of regen, a bit of end recovery and tohit buff from what I can see. If I can't get a great amount of defense to Psionics alone I would look at how much defenders/controllers can stack to my build and see how far to softcap my build would be combined with their abilities.

    Taunt durations may read x but in actuality due to lvl, scaling to mobs and/or resistance, x could be less. I pretty much say sod them figures and learn by experience.

    Gauntlet is only so good. Eventually there could come a time when a Scrapper would be better instead of WP Tank relying on gauntlet and RttC alone. Add to that people have different standards on what is tanking over different scenarios. Gauntlet requires a tohit check. RttC has a duration that really requires mobs within the aura and kept there without the use of gauntlet as, as soon as they're outside of it that's it, they could go after anyone. Also, some other players with their characters are likely to gain more threat than you at times which can prove counter productive to a teams needs.

    Can't be a tanker and be shy really, try doing a build and we can look at it, change it and suggest things. I am at work so not able to do a build right now.

    Gauntlet doesn't work at lvl 5 against +5s. I know, I tried.
  12. New Dawn
    Hmm I tend to change daily. Hourly even. Solo or teamed? I'll factor in the lack of responsibility, go scrapper and say Claws/SR.
  13. New Dawn
    The 6th slot gives 1.88% s/l def bonus I think. I never afai can remember do suggestions with purples as theyre expensive. I don't know who has 2 billion and who hasn't. Most people alt a lot and probably don't.
  14. New Dawn
    My scrappers, all of them, have to compete with other scrappers at what they do,..which is..DPS..obviously; plus be able to save people from that one last hit that would get them if needed; without much chance to fail; plus redirect attacks from an AV if needed; without much chance to fail; keeping the team safe with or without support. I think of it as being a bit more demanding of my heroes.

    All my scrappers get confront.
  15. New Dawn
    Your welcome, it was done in 20 mins, so I don't expect it to be gold, a thorough check is better. Without my looking into it in detail for softcap to S/L you might have to change a couple of powers. Haste itself is something that could be unmissable depending on how you like your rechg times on the aoes.
  16. New Dawn
    Been a long time since I put a end mod in unstop. Whilst its running with a res slot ya just don't need any toggles on if you took the passives. Less end drain and extra recovery right there. Then there are builds with end mods in unstop, very rare. Can anyone imagine someone putting 3 end mods in unstop? or 6?
  17. New Dawn
    Since my last post based on your power choices I knocked this up from scratch if it helps in anyway for ideas:

    I don't like Melt Armour, don't feel its worth a pick, its effect per end/time is not much different from assault but assault is more reliable but perhaps you need it for fireball and as an option.

    A quick fix on that for something operable and able to farm for better IOs etc would be something like this:

    I don't have a spines/ or an energy/ stalker so they're the least played to me.

    Every player is different and I'd prolly differ in a build suggestion by seeing what they go for slotwise, some people may not care to much about certain things cos of who they play with.

    Power choices is something I don't like to suggest changes for but sometimes ya can feel it best. Lets say you have QR and Stamina and was looking at getting Conserve Energy. It is from looking at your slots, your end recovery during a fight duration - the end drain during the fight duration, end drain resistance and typically say energy defense as to whether or not I'd say it's "needed", chances are, it could be at times useful but on the whole not as useful as something else.

    5 days since you posted and no replies. Well it takes a few days for some Number Crunching Lord of Paragon to come and look at the Tanky threads.

    In my experience the other one doesn't keep their side of it up, floats around rocking the aura and thus even makes empaths hate empaths.

    Until you put two good empaths together, 2 bad trick archers could probably be better.

    I would look for +rechg wherever possible. Doctored Wounds would be my choice instead of Numinas.

    With Vigilance, RA and stamina plus the new IOs I wouldn't be so over compensating for endurance recovery, ie dark consumption..

    The 3 rechg in CM, the 3rd one shaves off .14 of a second. I would rather end slot it than over compensate for end rec and shave that amount off. I realise that in doing 7 ppl you might like to do them all as quickly as possible but .14 is just .14.

    I am amazed there is no haste.

    Stealth could be replaced with a stealth IO and you could still pick up grant Invis.

    Nowadays people perma AB and fort 6 people.

    Dark Mastery puts you in harms way as its mainly pbaoes whereas power mastery offers power boost and used with empathy can turn other people into gods. You could have 2 builds to split a solo from a team or have a team build what solos.

    Just some thoughts.

    You could make a tanker with plenty of attacks and taunt and make it hit 45% S/L possibly a low healing flames rechg of about 13secs easy. Looking at things harder and slotting purples then it can get better. I did a build last night after reading this just to see what can be done but I deleted it.

    Should be a great combo.
