Case Study:

Which works better vs melee Fire damage:

A. 50% Melee Defence
B. 50% Fire Defence
C. 50% Melee Defence with 30% Fire Defence
D. 50% Fire Defence with 30% Melee Defence
E. They are all the same

Serious question. Just want to be sure.

Since you are talking at lvl 40, then lower all those set IOs to lvl 43, which would be the max you could slot at lvl 40. And Rage in your set-up would be perma but not by alot and any slow effect on you will cause it to not be so. Also, you would be required to reapply Rage as soon as its recharged no matter what else is going on. You will be sucking for end when Rage crashes especially against harder targets with extended battles.

IOs edited to 40s. Steadfast already in Tough (don't intend to run with Tough on for End considersations). Anyway to improve on End and also improve Rage overlap?

Very interested in reply on softcap without Fighting Pool at 40. More interested if it is not reliant on team mates in melee range.

Tks for the feedbacks so far.

Is this a reasonable build? Any endurance problem? Will Rage overlap? Is it capped solo?

All IOs edited to 40

I apologise if this has been addressed before, but any tanker experts advice would be deeply appreciated:

Is it possible to softcap a SD/SS Tank for the 3 Positional Defense at lvl 40 without using purple IOs?
