Two drops, what do I roll?

My handle is a DA/DB Tanker. Pretty fun. I mostly fire up OG and work on the tough guys while everyone else just stumbles around.

I have started a DA/WM tank recently and it's fun. doesn't put a lot of hurt early and requires looking at the end bar some, but once you get shatter... oh my!
Looking forward to Crowd Control on him

Build is damn tight though.

What kind?? whats a good secondary for both/either to make a tough tanker out of me?

If you're going Tanker, I'd say that a Dark Armor/DB character might be fun. You never see that combination around. Dark Armor/Stone gives you a lot of control, but sucks down endurance.

Also, Aett, are you really Kickballin' in VA? Because I tend to find myself doing things in VA :P

Actually, this year, we're kickballin' in DC, but I do live in NoVA.

...Are you one of the people I saw playing kickball near the monuments in DC? That'd be weird and coincidental.

Also, I feel like DA should be a well rounded set, and yet I hear it very maligned a lot, and dont' see many tanks above the teens around, it makes me worry.

But, on that note, i'm totally gonna be rolling up a DA/DB, I've got an inv/stone, so I'm kinda tired of stone

[/ QUOTE ]DA is easily among the toughest primaries for tankers. I went DA/SS, and found it a fun tanker set, even if the end problems really, really, really suck. (Rage Crash right after I pop Dark Regen while my SOs are yellow before I went to an IO build on her. It was.... not pretty.)

With *just* SOs, you can sit at, without tough, 46.8% S/L/F/C, 31.2% E/T, 62.4% Negative, 78% Psionic resistances. Add in OG to knock the minions out of the fight entirely, and the amazingly powerful heal that is Dark Regeneration (slotted for end reduction, please), and DA's survivability is edging into T9 territory without the drawbacks.

Not to mention that you do have a self-rez in case it does go downhill, and that self-rez provides an 11.9 second mag 30 autohit stun, as well as giving you back 15% health/target, and 30 end/target. In a 25 ft. radius.

Yes, go with Dark. And skip CoF in favor of OG (unless you go Dark/Dark, since you can stack CoF with ToF).
