I was just reading miladys Knight "Broadsword/shield scrapper" guide. He suggested not to add slots to Phallanx Fighting. Right now my broadsword shield scrapper is almost 47. In my build I have Phallanx with 3 slots. Is that too much?

Another reason why I'm asking is because I really want to add slots to tough and weave. I'm thinking about slotting them both with 5 slots each (Tough: 3 Dam resist & 2 end reducers. Weave: 3 Def buffs and 2 end reducers) I'm concerned about the end, that's why I want to add 2 ends in those powers. Suggestions, comments, and constructive criticism please!! Thank you!

Thank you for that response Time to play!

Thank you everyone for your helpful suggestions. I can't afford the expensive io's at this time, so I'm gonna make some regular io's from the university. Slotting suggestions? 2 recharge, 2 acc's, and two end mod's? Thanks again everyone. You guys rock!

My water/mental blaster is currently lvl 38 (thanks to double xp weekend lol) I picked up drain psyche along the way, but it wasn't useful to me. I was expecting to see my life meter and end meter boost up like my warshade. What are your thoughts about this? Thank you.

That's what I assumed. I word it wrong. Thank you very much for that information.

Is it true that warshades and peace bringers can copy attributes from other team mates? In other words, if my PB was next to my tanker team matefor example, my resistance to damage will be like his right?

Thank you

Is it worth slotting up? Is the regeneration rate great? I'm respecing my lvl 50regeneration martial arts scrapper. Thinking about adding slots to tough and weave instead.

Ahh, ok. Not really worth slotting huh? Only that much defense?

My willpower/SS tank is about to hit level 50 (one more bar to go!) I have hover with only one def buff in it. I'm thinking about adding two more slots to increase the defense. Also, how good is hover? Is it a overall good defensive power? Btw, thanks guys for answering my other questions on my other posts!

Thank you everyone!

Ok. I'm trying to understand this. Please bare with me. Five is the maximum. That I understand. However, if the percentage is 7% for example (x5) Does that mean I will have 35%? Of that particular bonus?

I'm used to making regular io's from the university, not the expensive ones. I just bought the "crushing impact" set. One of the set bonuses says, "improves accuracy of all powers by 7%" My question is this, if I buy another crushing impact set, will it double the percentage ? Meaning, will it go up to 14%?

I noticed in my personal info that a (2) is next to the set bonuses. I'm assuming that (2) represents double the percentage, not sure. Also, I heard that I can only go up to (5) only. The purple ones are only (1) I heard....Any answer will be appreciated, thank you

I have a Apple.

I am happy to report that my tank is doing much much better now! I respeced it earlier, added tough weave and hover for that extra defense. Even without hover it still rocks. I was just going against Infernal and things went well. Thanks again everyone for your suggestions. In the future I will definitely invest in more powerful sets. Peace

Thank you Rangle. I greatly appreciate your feedback. I haven't done one of those yet. I mainly play radios, tips, and regular mishes with the difficultly on plus 1. I'm from the old school.

I'm using io's only. The ones you can make at the university. Forgive me but I'm not familiar with posting builds on forums like the way you guys do it. Basically with powers like high pain tolerance for example I will put 3 healths and 3 damage resistance. The rest of my build is balanced like that. 3 of the same enhancement into one power.

I don't have billions of dollars. Can't afford the big boys stuff.
On some of my others toons, I was able to buy that. But that was before

Please no sarcasm. I humbly came here with honest questions, not to be made fun of. I'm far from a beginner. Most of the time, I play other classes (Blasters, Scrappers, Controllers, MM's etc) Tanks? here and there. And Yes I am familiar with will power. My Katana/will power scrapper is lvl 43 atm, and yes I do know the difference between scrappers and tankers.

I apologize if I offended. Anyway, thank you for letting me know about tough and weave. I never used them because I heard that they can be pretty heavy endurance hogs and I personally don't like toggles (thats just me) Also, I want to thank everyone who took the time to inform me about the current state of tanks. I really thought it was a nerf. Take care.

Sorry for the late response. Overall I got the message. My tanks didn't get nerfed. Thanks. Here's my next question. How important is tough and weave? My will power tank just hit level 47. I heard that those powers are end drainers though.

I played with a shield tank and he strongly recommend it.

I was always a VIP.

Sorry for the lack of paragraph breaks. The other readers didn't complain.



Anyway, Carnies really creamed my Willpower tank. But I'm not just talking about them. I'm talking other foes too. Thank you all for the quick responses.

I been playing City of Heroes for about 7 years. I have lots a characters, 10 level 50's, the rest are level 46 and under. I have 2 tanks. A level 46 will power/super strength, and a lvl 40 stone/stone tank. Both of them have io's, properly slotted. I play them once in a while. Yesterday, I was on a 8 man team with my Will power tank, going against Carnies. Man, I was getting clobbered!! I had to keep using greens like crazy. That never happened before, never. I immediately said to myself, "Can't believe those dev's nerfed my tank" This morning, I was playing with my stone tank, and the same thing happened again!! Someone on the team was talking about incarnates (I heard about that, not familiar with that, but I do know u gotta be lvl 50 for that) I kept saying my teammates, "no no, you don't understand. My stone tank rarely got a scratch lol" He also said, "it depends who you are fighting" My tanks went against anything without issues. I am aware that the devs are on this balance trip. Meaning, they want all classes to work together on a team for survival. Am I wrong??.....Please guys and gals, help a old timer out here. What's really going on? Thank you.

I do have some endurance problems. I might get physical perfection. But Grant cover sounds good too. I really don't like toggles but the defense buff might be helpful for my teammates. Ah the dilemma lol

My Broadsword/Shield scrapper just hit lvl 44. My question is, which power should I choose? I always play pve and I always prefer to play on a team. Is Grant Cover a good power to have? Based upon the description, it can boost up my team mates defenses. Physical perfection looks interesting because of the endurance modification. Suggestions please! Thank you

That's awesome! How is it now? Does it attack Like the white wolve pet from the master mind set?
