Help with bringing old SS/INV out of retirement...


Call Me Awesome

 

Posted

Hi all! I'm looking to bring my namesake out of retirement and was hoping for some suggested builds. He's level 50 and I want a build where he can contribute as a main tank in TFs, but also hold his own in PvP. Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks!!

Be happy to share mine, though I know nothing of PvP. I strove for a relatively balanced build that can tank, but I strove mostly for recovery, damage, and recharge rather than hitting any defensive or resistance caps.

I can't really speak for the /SS side never having played one but my guide (in my sig) covers the Invuln side and explains how you can maximize your defenses.

Enjoy your invuln, issue 13 gave us a huge boost, not only in direct buffs but also in IO set changes.

Thanks for the build suggestion. I've got to brush up on the whole IO Origin thing. I'm SERIOUSLY out of touch with my tank. I haven't used him in a about a year and a half! LOL!!!
