I can't give you a specific build, but for the Invuln side you can check out my soft capping guide (linked in my signature). On the EM side I assume you pretty well know what you want; Bone Smasher, Taunt, Whirling Hands, ET & Total Focus.|

What I was really hoping for was sort of the optimum build for an Inv/EM tanker without going into purple IOs. Currently he's got leaping and fitness. I need to retain leaping for RP reasons, but I'm willing to change anything else. Anyone have a good build in Mid's they can toss me? Would be much appreciated. |
As far as the APP's go the choice is yours. Energy is getting a new power, Physical Perfection, which is a combination Health/Stamina power at 50% strength so it's an attractive option. I've always been partial to Pyre for Fire Blast and Fire Ball myself; two nice ranged attacks one of which is an AOE. Whatever APP you choose isn't going to be a make or break issue; they all have strengths and weaknesses. Pick one that does what you need to do... with EM I'd be tempted to go Pyre for another AOE attack but it's up to you.

I don't use Mids. On my inv/EM, I took all the primary powers, added Tough, and IO'ed him for +regen (300%). He's pretty darn tough and regen is an easy bonus to get so it was dirt cheap (under 30 million, not counting the +regen uniques which I had lying around).

As a fellow Inv/EM, let me ask:
What do you WANT to DO with him?
Personally, I took the energy mastery pool for concept, ie, laser beam eyes (though not energy torrent; it's somewhat counter productive sicne your main defense power relies on foes being close). I also IO'd her out for psi and energy mitigation with a smattering of recharge. It's no uber-build, but it works fine enough for me for the most part. (I may have to rethink the energy defense part, as almost all energy attacks have an s/l component and my s/l defense is higher anyway)
Now, if you want to tackle Lord Recluse without relying on inspirations or a defender for backup, then yeah, you want as much pure s/l defense as possible. Also, recharge so you can have dull pain be perma.

Oh, and Crimson demands you play this arc-> Twisted Knives (MA Arc #397769)
Hey Emporor,
Sorry for the delay with my response. To be honest, I went with EM for the... what did someone call them? The 'pink pompoms of doom'? My tank is a bunny, all in pink and white and I liked the idea of the pink animations.
As for what I want to accomplish with him, I guess what every tank wants, or should want, and that's the be the most effective tank he can be for his team. I want to be indestructible 
If I can do some decent damage at the same time then that's great. EM has a decent AoE attack, but having another would be nice, as it helps with the taunting.
He's 42 now and I'm still not sure where to take him. If anyone has a mid's build for this AT that would be great.
By way of example here is the build I'm using right now. Thus far she seems very durable. This build does not run taunt. The inv toggles are among the best at holding aggro and I like to punch-voke
To add Taunt: drop Laser Beam Eyes and add Taunt with 4 slots and a Mocking Beratment set. OR remove the Aegis slots from Weave and add those 2 to Taunt to 6 Slot a Perfect Zinger set.
I would make that her alternate build if I could afford it. This build is not cheap and took me a loooong time to get to. Call Me Awesome's guide was indespensable as well so read it if you haven't already.
I also found Unstoppable not as valuable as Hasten is to the build. Even with only a single recharge IO Hasten helps on a constant basis where Unstoppable is just an "Oh Crap" button.
Conserve Power is very beneficial as well with all those toggles to run.

Wow, I asked for mid's build and I certainly got em. Now to decide which way to go
Both have great ideas for me. I do have leaping rather than flight, and I have to keep that. He's a bunny after all.
Curious as to whether either of you actually use Boxing? Heraclea has slotted it, but it's always seemed a throwaway power to get to Tough and Weave. I don't usually bother even putting it on my power bar, let alone putting an enhancement in it. Know something I don't? Seems to me that EM has plenty of decent attacks already. Throw in temps like Sands of Mu and your 36 month reward (if you've got it) and you're more than set with attacks.
Wanted to thank the both of you for your help.
Quote:
Even if you don't use it, it's a good IO mule. I usually four-slot it with a set like Kinetic Combat or Smashing Haymaker that gives a S/L defense bonus. And if you're using it solely for the set bonus, you don't have to worry about enhancement levels or slotting it completely, just getting the right number of set IOs in it for the bonus. |

For example, if I'm slotting Kinetic Combat, I'll replace the very expensive and hard to find KC Dam/End/Rchg with the knockdown proc IO, which is much less expensive and hard to find. Also, if I'm actually going to use the attack, I usually put in at least one more slot from another set so it's fully slotted. I don't bother with that if it's just being slotted for the bonus.
Hope that helps!

If you take Combat Jumping instead of Air Superiority then you will probably need to slot Boxing with Kinetic Combat or Smashing Haymaker to get closer to the soft cap on defense. You can also slot Combat Jumping for more defense if you need it.
Happy to help. Lord knows I appreciate it when I post questions on here.

If you are Energy Melee, you will be using Boxing. A lot. Energy Melee almost requires the selection of a fast recharging, fast animating power pool attack to fill in the dead time. The Stupefy set is inexpensive also, and gets you valuable endurance and health bonuses. Stupefy could go almost anywhere in your build if you want it; but Boxing takes it without detracting significantly from your damage. |

If I could work in Air Superiority I would take that too. My level 50 with the set is Fire/EM; she has Air Superiority because she took Kick to slot up for an anti-knockback bonus. Then again, Fire has more skippable powers than Inv.

It depends. On my inv/EM, I have Boxing six-slotted and it's part of my attack chain. I have a fire/fire with Boxing four-slotted. My dark/dark is only level 25 but he has Boxing in his attack chain. Most of my tank are pretty lean on attacks and Boxing is tons better than Brawl.|

On the other hand, my shield/axe tank has Tough with no additional slots and it's not in my power tray. A big part of the reason for this is that it forces a redraw. EM, fire and dark don't have a weapon.

I've respeced since making my post: i had to drop build up and conserve power from my old build, but since shes built partially for recovery, she's very efficient. And this is without any purples. There IS some expensive stuff in here, though.
All defense except psi is 31.7% with one foe in melee. Psi is at 24%. S/L resist is 89.2, all other non psi resist is 29.9 (aw come on game, throw me a bone and make it an even 30!), while psi resist itself is 26.8. Got 270% regen and 187% (3.58/s) recovery and only 1.02 end/s with 5 toggles running. I only turn on Focused Accuracy if i think I need it; I only took it for the extra set bonuses. Overall, I think it's a solid teaming build. Solo it may have a problem over an extended period, but hey, there's tanking for ya.

@Ra Ra
I've always struggled to enjoy my Invul/Energy tank due to endurance issues (& the never ending urge to try new alts) but since I saw Physical Perfection added to the Energy Mastery pool I've been trying to figure out a spec I'm finally happy with. My goals: hit my S/L defense caps (inspired by Call Me Awesome's advice, linked in his sig above); keep Air Superiority & Flight (old favorites); try to get enough recovery to finally stop watching my endurance; & boost my recharge.
So this is the build I came up with, I thought I'd share in case it offered something useful - or in case someone could help me improve it. No purples, but a couple of expensive sets no doubt.

I seem to be a little over the S/L cap, but I can't figure out how to tweak things so I boost recharge, recovery or regen while staying at cap. Any suggestions would be very welcome.
L50 as a Tank, Mastermind, Soldier, Blaster, Defender & Brute so far. Still trying testing alts in search of my 'main'. So many possibilities!
Quote:
Nitpick: Doesn't the version of Energy Torrent in the Tanker and Scrapper APPs do knockDOWN instead of knockBACK? Admittedly, if you step back to line up the cone, you'd be losing some contact with enemies and thus some saturation of Invincibility, but it would only be for a moment every once in a while and the knockdown mitigation might well be more valuable. Plus Energy Melee could find a use for more AoE damage.

Here is my build as it is on live. Survives very well and I never have an issue with Unstoppable drop although I rarely need it. Has enogh defense (35% with one foe in range ) that he can survive most things well. EM is a slow set but IMO im a tank so I dont worry so much about DPS.
Eventually I will get some LoTG recharge in the build to speed up attacks and shoot for perma-dull pain ( im very close right now )

The hard things I can do--- The impossible just take a little bit longer.
If numbers are so much more important than a teammate who is fun to play with, forget about the game altogether and go play with a calculator instead. -Claws and Effect-
Heres my tank, I slotted for def and max health only so theres no global recharge or much of anything else really.
At the time this build only cost me 400m-ish. The 2 purple melee IO's being the most expensive of course, followed by the Reactive armours (Fairly rare set) and then the Kin Combats.
I can tank 6 GM's all at the same time, tested in PI. Can also tank LR with no trouble/inspires at all.
The only hole is of course, Psi...Those Rikti Magus' will floor you.
Hope it helps.

Bud, have you considered 3- or 4-slotting Invincibility more conventionally and moving those two slots to Taunt? Look at what the 5th and 6th slots of Mocking Beratement give you. The F/C Defense alone would allow you to pull two MORE slots out of Resist Energies and either 5-slot Dull Pain (conventional slotting would be 5 Doctored Wounds) or finish slotting Energy Transfer, your big hitter.

Not really. I IO'd this tank a few months back and it seems to work fine as is. It is a nice idea though, i wouldnt mind slotting DP more but eh i'd have to spend more time, Inf and effort then. |

I agree, you'll want a fast attack - It's called Energy Punch and you get it at level 2.|

Stupefy could go almost anywhere in your build if you want it; but Boxing takes it without detracting significantly from your damage.

The only reason to choose Boxing is to open up Fighting and... Well, I understand that you'd need it to make yourself 'bulletproof', but I'm astonished at the idea that Invulnerability isn't... invulnerable enough.
Be Well!

This is mine, hope it helps. Before this build, used to have around 35% psi res, but found it useless, nowadays I mainly rely on ranged def against Psi dmg, for the rest of damages, so far no problems. I have no problem tanking but mind you, this tank is unable to solo anything, he's only useful in teams:

Hiya folks. So I've got this tank I've somehow managed to get up to 42 without really exploring the ins and outs of the powers. No, this isn't an AE toon. He's over a year old and has leveled slowly.
In any case, I'm at the point where I can dip into the epic pool and I realized I have no idea the best direction to go with this guy.
What I was really hoping for was sort of the optimum build for an Inv/EM tanker without going into purple IOs. Currently he's got leaping and fitness. I need to retain leaping for RP reasons, but I'm willing to change anything else.
Anyone have a good build in Mid's they can toss me? Would be much appreciated.
