So I have played CoH way before the merge. It was on the EU servers so I played around a month before giving up due to very low population. Recently I started playing again with my, now premium account and will soon switch to VIP. Yesteday I made my first lvl 50 and I'm wondering how to build my character. My experience with the game machanics is on the level of NEWBISM ;d So everything down there is just my opinion based on not that much knowledge. Though I would like to preserve my Power Choices.
Okay, so here they are:

Now firstly, this toon is for tanking so I would like him to be as tough as possible. I missed the Taunt because Parry does exaclty the same amount of aggro - mag. 4 just not for 41 seconds but for 13,6 but Parry is very spam-friendly having a short cooldown. I believe Taunt wastes one skill choice, but I am very new so I don't possess much knowledge. I chose not to take Build Up as I don't view it as very necessary, again I'm still brain dead when it comes to CoH.
Someone told me that BS has good dmg, so I wouldn't mind some decent dmg either =) but the main goal is being a tank! I'm completely clueless in regards of slots and enhancements. (NOOB) =o
When lvling this toon one of my primary problems of course was the End. having 9 toggles isn't that easy on the endurance bar.
Also I must say I love the Shield Charge ability and would like to use it as much as possible, don't know if that's possible though =P
And a question can one with the shield's cooldown be reduced so much that I can use it almost aways? Or is it more beneficial to have it stacked with def, resist enhancements so when I actually use it it's much more powerful.
Lastly, I slotted my Stamina (from the inherent fitness) with End Mod's , and put End Reduc. in everything that used End, so yeaah - that's about it. Can you help me form a build, which I could then follow!
Many thanks in advance!!
