Do those 3 mitigate my (puny) losses from the two Reses?

If you see them as puny then yes get fight pool. Your level of endurance use would be greater as a result. Herding carnie will be so much easier.

Weave is really, really good. As inv, you should really try to max out your s/l damage res - the less damage you take from that (it's pretty easy to cap) the more you can concurrently take of the non-s/l that you're weaker against. Same with Def.

Pants! Turkey Magnates! A man in a box! Rogue AI! Come one, come all, to arc ID 10107 - It's [i]'Not as long as some other arcs'[/i]!
I appreciate this info.
What i`m driving at is this though. Currently (before I respec) if I go against (for example) the council, in a team, I can go in taunting to my hearts content because I can take pretty much whatever they dish out.
If I go against COH I have to be more careful because my RE el RES EN are disproportionately weaker than my S/l.
So If I DROP the two res entirely in place of tough and weave, would I fair better against CoH (or any non S/L foe) or worse?
Thanks

Def is scaleable but i "think" with the changes the higher the level a boss or AV the more chance they may have of hitting you anyway and with more damage. Hell i dont really expect to be missed. But against normal foes that ya mainly see in missions, most of the game etc you should be missed more so for herding purposes in general def is more superior as you also miss out on secondary effects.
I personally dont give that much of a monkeys, i expect alot of survivability to be helped created by the team through not only the use of powers proactively but with good dynamics as the tank isnt the be all and end all, member. The tank isnt meant to stand alone and not need to be helped, what the rest of the team are free to and can do is important (unless you are a granite tank standing solo in the mission surrounded by enemy though that didnt tp or shift fast from the minion he is concentrating on hitting with his axe even against foes he doesnt really need rooted for (didnt even have tp anyway), who didnt take taunt and forgot to turn mudpots on which means yes a fat load of nothing useful that actually started tanking after the team are enjoying a nice trip from hospital even though you thought you could easily handle the 36 foes in the room when you cant even taunt 5...and breathe! sorry thats what someone would have to do to be the worst tank on all servers:P). Main thing to me is you try to taunt control, your heart is in it, you want to get hit, you dont want others to get hit (more so if ya can get to play preventatively (may take bossiness)). Hell my firetank cant wait for RotP, she'll have no def worth additioning with weave, how will she manage? By trying to get the best form of play with a team, survivability is not always from your build, but a good build helps. I personally believe if people and yourself in a balanced team played in a model manner you have everything you need in the set (with a few exceptions depending on powerset choice ie firetanks and acrobatics, hover to low on quicksand or -flied and its bye bye hover and hello no kb protection.)
Jiaozy will say def all the way, Unthing will say def all the way, to miss out on hits completely and secondary effects for most of the entire game then def is better.
There is more -def on CoH and more -res on CoV i think but you have to get hit with them first and then ya may have res to the debuffs.

I`m an old school (pre i6 and Ed) invul/ energy melee level 50 Tank.
My defences currently are :
Rpd,
temp inv,
dull health
unyeilding
Res ele
Res en
invinc.
unstop.
All (cept for the 2 res) well slotted.
Question is am i or am i not better off replacing Res en and Res El with boxing/ tough and weave?
i dont mean for s/l. That`s fine. i mean for energy or elemental or any other kind of damage.

Thanks for any input cause this is driving me nuts.

Well tough will get you to the cap/very near the cap for S/L (Depending on how your powers are slotted). It doesn't give +Res to any other damage types.
Weave will give about 7% defence to Melee/Ranged attacks. Which includes energy.

All power pool def buffs were changed to def to all. You need to update your own herobuilder by editing.

iirc you need all three (TI,RPD,tough) in addition to UY to get to the S/L cap..
