Could use some tank advice for soloing 8-man/+4 missions


Call Me Awesome

 

Posted

At the moment I'm already constructing an alternate WP/Fire tank. SS tends to get old for me for some reason...maybe its the lack of flashy powers, dunno.

This is what I have so far, I'm relatively happy with what I see.

Het, sorry for the hijack. I was happy to see this statement, but after trying to calculate it myself, I find myself having trouble with the math on this.

Let's take melee defense just to simplifiy.

Deflection 15%, SO slotting x1.56 = 23.4
Weave 5%, SO slotting x1.56 = 7.8
Phalanx Fighting 5%, can't be improved = 5
Steadfast Unique = 3

23.4+7.8+5+3 = 39.2.

What am I missing?

Ah, I just found the issue; I worked it up in Mid's and didn't notice that Phalanx was showing one ally. Given that and Combat Jumping you're sitting at 42.8% with SO slotting.

My error, we're in the 39% range with CJ and nobody in range for Phalanx. Tossing the Steadfast in and we're around 42%.

this thread confuses me...exactly what do you want out of a tank?..to farm /p.l. or just take the abuse from a boat load of npcs??

Farming somewhat, but mostly just to be able to stand in the middle of a +8/+0 spawn and turn them into crispy critters. My only concern is that this character, despite having two good 360 degree AoE's, is still going to take a long time to clean up spawns. A willpower scrapper may be better off, but I don't know how well it would live compared to my tank. Also, I still think spines is ugly, and fire melee doesn't have 2 AoE in scrappers

Cleaned up the build a tiny bit also...

well physical perfection can be slotted for 2 things..regen AND end mod.

if your planning on going with wp slot it half and half so you get even more killer regen from it and even more recov

Yea, I know it can be slotted for both, but it's regen is pretty pitiful (only 20%) and seems to get more by adding it into recovery instead of regen.

I suppose what it comes down to is, can a WP/Fire solo a +8/+0 mob :P That's really all I want to be able to do lol, don't need it higher than +0, don't need AV's, etc etc.

And, can it do that solo better than a Spines/WP scrapper. I wouldn't even bother to ask but I found some spines that aren't so ugly.

Any Tank will solo that level spawns at L30 or so it's really a matter of how quickly.

A Shield/ would be a better option because of Shield Charge and the damage buff but a WP/Fire could do it at a good rate also.


L50s: Tanks: Cryofission - Ice/EM - Dr Celsius - Fire/Ice - Saint George - SD/SS | Controllers: Psichosis - Ill/Kin - Major Chaos - Ill/Stm | Scrappers - Neutron Crusader - DM/SR

Currently Levelling: Angelic Blade - BS/WP Scrapper | Seeds of Destruction - Plant/Kin Controller

I have a L50 WP/Fire slotted for +HP who herds +4s in RWZ. I took Fire APP for an additional AoE, but you don't necessarily need to do that. That character DOES have 4 purple sets so has a high +acc bonus, but that's not mandatory either.

I have that character's, non-S/L defense at about 37% which is usually plenty (depends on how many Chief Soldiers are in the pile), but I am tweaking it to reach the softcap. Said character can also herd Rularuu, but I seldom bother due to Wisp bosses using Detention Field on me all the time.

As to a WP/Fire soloing +0 8-man mobs, it can do so easily at zero risk. Hell, even +3s aren't dangerous.
