Just going to bump this and see if anyone might be able to help but missed it the first time.
thanks in advance!
A few questions:
1) What kind of budget are you looking at?
2) What attack chain are you using?
3) How focused do you want to be in AV killing? Are you willing to sacrifice AoE potential for it?
The build looks quite good, but I think there are areas to improve. Notably, you aren't quite soft-capped to melee with two DAs. Not a big deal, but you may be able to squeeze out a little more. I'd consider trying to soft-cap the exotic defenses given your current totals but it would probably require a little sacrifice along the way. Considering the value of health bonuses to /WP I'd try to work more enhancement value into HPT, probably by moving the steadfast over, and I'd consider going for the 4 piece set bonus in Eradication. The slotting on Golden Dragonfly could use work for sure; you're far enough past the ED cap that a damage proc would be better than the damage IO. The exact changes I'd make depend on the answers to the questions above.
Dark Armor/Stone Melee Tank Guide [I12]
As Pyromantic suggested, I'd move the Steadfast to Mind over Body ; then, one of the health IOs from RttC to HPT.
First, thank you both for reviewing my post and offering some suggestions. Im very interested in improving myself and up for critiques.
As for the questions
.
A few questions:
1) What kind of budget are you looking at?
Answer: I really dont mind spending tons of influence. No, I dont have a bunch right now (Maybe 150 million) but I like setting goals and achieving those results. If it takes me a while, I dont mind.
2) What attack chain are you using?
I normally use something like gd, da, gc, fs, da, gc but I cant say Im consistent
3) How focused do you want to be in AV killing? Are you willing to sacrifice AoE potential for it?
I would like to become more of an AV killer. Ive already defeated a few, but I would like to get even better.
Ive taken a bit of advice from the boards before, a little from this and from that. However, now Ive made too many changes and could really use some advice.
Again, thank you
Here's a quick pass, though a more detailed examination could probably improve it. The empty slot is for the PvP +def IO.
I've sacrificed a little of the damage bonus, though you could work the obliterations back in if you want to. Defense to FCEN is now capped, as is melee with 2 DAs. Also have a few more hit points per second.
Working out an attack chain is vital for AVs. You're generally scratching ahead of their regen over a long period of time so you want to put out your best damage. Most katana attack chains I've seen alternate GC with other attacks, something like GC->DA->GC->SD->GC->GD. I haven't crunched the numbers but I think this build may be slightly short on GC for that chain. If you haven't already check out ArcanaTime for a more accurate representation of attack timing.

Dark Armor/Stone Melee Tank Guide [I12]
thanks Pyro! I will take a look at it
Greetings folks,
Ive been playing with alts recently, but I cant seem to get too much into them, maybe because Im on the road in real life too much right now. Anyways, I plan on using my primary toon a bit more. I have killed a few AVs and plan on doing it some more. Overall this guy is pretty good (imo), but if I can make him better I plan to do so. This is how I have him slotted right now, but Im willing to make changes.
Thanks in advance!
