Some form of endurance management has always been needed, earlier you could get away theoretically by 6-slotting stamina but I had end reduxes on my toggles even back then...

Well pre- Conserve Power I had difficulties but generally would always find a defender who could buff me and I did have 6 enh stamina.
Now I guess I will be reducing that 
but hey it is a brand new world and you have to adapt with it.

Good g.od, someone that had a tanker back in I4 and never complains! 
I don't complain too much. Or at least I didn't until I got told that an Inv tank isn't a real tank any more.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

If you listen to what people says, anything that's not able to survive a full map of +5s isn't a real tank anymore..
Tanks aren't blindly overpowered now, they're more challenging to play and they require some thinkin, while up untill I4 they were absolutely unkillable and stupidly easy to play..
I remember at lvl 18(pre-SOs....)herding a full outdoor map filled with Family, they were level 24 and I was on DOs..
I had to use Dull Pain only once, at the end when I had all the 250odd foes around me, while the fire tanker burned em down with a couple of Burn patches..
Invuln can still tank, better than Stone IMO, where for tanking I mean take as much aggro as possible off the team mates..To do that I have to jump around like crazy with my tank, especially with foes with ranged attacks and I don't see how a stone tank can do this..They may take loads of damage and never flinch while in Granite but IMO they lack the mobility far too much to be rally effective..
But that's just my point of view and I don't mean any offense!

[/ QUOTE ]But did you have them in your attacks as well? Seeing as 5 damage isn't efficient anymore you can put 1-2 EndReducers in your attacks, as well as your toggles, which, when combined with the 13% global END reduction, should make you actually spend less endurance than pre-ED.

I know that in my attacks I am going to put 2 acc enh and an end reducer.
Given what has happenned with ED, I guess I will be putting end reducers in all my powers except of course passives.
Well I was wondering what to do with all the influence I have.....guess I will be spending it on the new build.
Of course, we will see when that is as I had to send my laptop to the manufacturer (Toshiba) to get repaired.

I dont remember. The attacks have had end reducers for soo long time now. Given my current configuration I feel like im already spending less endurance than I was before (apart from weirdness of fly) but that doesnt mean im any more combat efficient as a whole...
