I'm going to vouch for going Defense bonuses. You don't have to get the S/L soft-cap, but it will make you insanely sturdy. Getting 32.5% Defense to S/L will be sufficient enough. You'll notice an increase in survival just with that. And it's one small purple away from being the soft-cap.

Pick up Weave and CJ, slot all your resist toggles with 4 Reactive Armors, get taunt 4-slotted with Mocking Beratement, and if you can afford it, 4-slot Kinetic Combats as much as you can. If you can't afford those, Smashing Haymakers will have to do. That plus your 3% def IO will get you off to a good start. Find IO sets that give S/L def first (not Melee), or you'll waste slots.

Then, once you've got to the respectable amount of defense you want, grab recharge bonuses. 6-slotting Mocking Beratement in taunt only costs 2 more slots and gives a good recharge bonus. The faster you have Healing Flames up, the better.

Grab the accolades. Atlas, Phalanx, Portal Jockey and Task Force. 20% HP bonus is huge on a tank. It's effectively like adding more resist on top of your character.

Lastly, and this is important, don't sacrifice enhancement bonus just for set bonuses. There's no point becoming more durable if you're under-slotting damage, accuracy and endurance on your attacks and toggles.

Oh, and post your build when you come up with one. That's the best way to find out what improvements you might have missed.

Watched the movie this past weekend and enjoyed it. While I agree, have Micheal missing for the entirety of the movie was a bit disappointing, the action didn't seem to suffer for it. Also... Kate Beckinsale.

Should be about as bad as Smallville from seasons 5-10.

So Fire/ but not /SS.

My suggestions would be this:

/Fire or /Elec

Fire/Fire will probably put out more, and if you're worried about speed numbers more than anything else, go with that. But I have an Elec/Fire brute, and it's just fun all around.

Fire/Elec/Pyre could be quite nice. Pick up the Spectral Interface for added Negative damage, and you'll have quite a hefty mixture of exotic damage.

Fiery Embrace + Burn + Lightning Rod + Fire Ball + Thunder Strike + Spectral damage....

Where's the thread with the Tanker ATO info? I can't find it in the Beta forums.

I remember seeing a trailer for this a few months ago. I'm not sure why there hasn't been more marketing for it. Looks great, but I worry it won't get many sales without a little more advertisement.

Though I know where to go to find out what costume pieces look like from new sets on sale, I doubt everyone know or wants to have to dig through forum threads to be able to find out.

Sets might sell a little more if marketing would post images of individual pieces. Pics of mixed costume pieces (e.g. throwing in the CoT shoulder pads) can be very confusing to people who don't know it's part of a different set, and could potentially lead to a bunch of "bait and switch" complaints.

Hopefully I'm not asking something that's already been mentioned...

If older tight options are being updated, could some of the patterns be updated to have glowing options? The design team has certainly being have a hay day with glowing costume pieces, so let them loose on the old tight patterns as well.

Also, asymmetric looks would be great too!

On topic: It's the same with VCR's. If this was considered piracy, they wouldn't be selling them. Whether you watch a commercial or not is nothing that is guaranteed. What's to say I haven't walked away from the TV while commercials are going on. The whole premise that that DVR's are the same as pirating is so horribly flawed it shouldn't even have a thread to question it.

Prediction: Soon Dur will be derailing his own thread like the last time he brought up a similar subject (see his suggestion that his memories of a movie could just as easily be considered piracy by his own special definition) and bring about a threadlock after complaining we all gang up on him.

I prefer cats that troll.
