Jebe, I like the set up you have a bit more than mine. May just adjust the one I came up with a bit more tho, as I don't know if I can bring myself to slot brawl.
As far as either build being expensive, I am not that worried with that. I have a 50 stoner, 50 invuln, and a 50 kin, so a farming I will go.
Appreciate all the help, I haven't had this much trouble planning out a tank before, but I do believe it will be rewarding.
Dark Armor is like that kid you knew in school that didn't know when to shut up, and no matter how bad he got beaten down, he got right back up again and kept on talking.
The energy defense is high for the energy only damage, that stuff will eat through your hp if your defense isn't high enough.
As for slotting brawl, you don't have to since you can always slot Siphon Life for defense bonus from Kinetic Combat, which will free up some slots and you can allocate them as you like. If you do, I suggest looking for an accuracy bonus somewhere since you're losing that from touch of the nictus. It's something I've contemplated myself and may do in the future.
I don't think this build is expensive at all, but that's a matter of perspective.
I'm really thinking of writing a guide, maybe one which will include a presence build. Oh well, off to WW farming I go!
Evil farmer!
Yessir, yes I am. But I did get suspended once for pulling some GMs onto a nooblet in PI that cursed at me for not PLing them.
So really, I think it balances out..............

One thing I should add about reslotting Siphon Life...
If you remove the healing IO's and replacing them with Kinetic Combat from brawl, you'll be losing the +max end and accuracy bonus. Although you can find the accuracy elsewhere, you will have a harder time finding the +max end. Resocketing CoD and weave with 4 slot GotA will not work as you are at the 5cap for 1.8 +max end. For my taste, I'd rather not lose set bonuses instead of slots in a power I hardly use in order to get said bonuses. Apart from that, it's a very small trade off between end recovery, max hp, and def so I don't factor these into deciding whether or not to resocket. It's a matter of preference.
Edit: Oh yeah, I almost forgot...
The presence build is turning into a real project. It's not the easiest thing to balance out but it looks like there is some potential if you can get past the fear redundancy. Depending on how it turns out, I'll post it here for critiques.
thank you.
Figures. similar build, but you have a much better IO selection.
Your energy/dark defence is much higher. I should have just waited :P
thanks again.
