I salute you, Sir!
I myself do not play tanks, but I appreciate the benefits a good tank can bring to a team! Also, I like your forum avator! 
yeah, the forum avatar is a highly modified screenshot crop. I do extensive graphic design work for a living and sometimes looking at CoX... it can just be so much more, it can look so much deeper than it does now. like bumpmapping ALOT of the tights options and such for both male and female models,
Anyway, Thanks for the tanker support however I'm pretty sure someone will saunter in and shoot down my build in a heartbeat.
But I'm always open to suggestions!
It does indeed need correcting.
But given the thought of limited funds I am going to offer something of a quick, hopefully affordable from sale of enhancements you don't need, correction.
I won't change your powers on you as it may have a concept to it as I would say Presence Pool and Leaderships would need a specific idea for me to choose them.
It's not an unaffordable completely min/maxed build neither, just a quick correction is all.

Assault is more for when I'm on teams as I find it a bit helpful, as for the rest of the powers, I've gotten a bit used to them and I do have a respec avail that I'll probally use on my second build. so bringing that to light (which I neglected to mention before) Pretty much OK to suggest a diffrent power setup.
I'm takin a stab in the dark here on how you dropped a few of my slots out of some of the more "survival" types here as well. Diminishing returns the cause of that?
Oh, noted you fully slotted my taunt as well, I don't play on teams much more anymore however my current taunt is nearly 2 minutes and the recharge is like about 10 seconds. That and provoke (random 5+random 5=more aggro and has saved my teams in the past having a backup taunt) usually handles alot of aggro. The idea with the hand clap is a bit intreguing (wish we could have a anti-knockback enhancement that kills said effect on powers) but its good for door clearing anyway.
I must admit the +20% to hit is nice.
Feel free to also point out any accolades I should explicitly get for my build as I already have the Freedom Phalanx Reserve one.

Fightpool is popular on Willpower if Presence for Fear is non conceptual, I found the fears hit/miss, lacking in duration for its end cost and not up enough. A lot of people go for fitness pool as it stacks too but you could simply swap assault for conserve energy to keep going, MMV.

I'll give this a shot on my other build (that I never completed, was more crowd control with the earth Epic pool but I never liked it) and see how it plays. Next up, my corruptor which I KNOW is gonna be torn to shreds. lol
...
Just realized my tank is as broke as broke can be with only 7 mil inf... EEK! I don't feel like grinding today however.
I will keep your build in mind however after comparing the two I noticed it has a bit better defense/resistance and regen rate. So I'm all for it. I'll probally start working on it next week.
Drop the presence pool. Invoke Panic will not work as you intend it to. Instead of being an "oh crap" button it will just do nothing but draw more aggro and mez a couple of minions, (maybe). If you have nothing else to replace the Presence powers from your main/secondary with, replace them with the Fighting pool, kick or boxing, then tough and weave. I thought the presence pool would be fun too, using my fear-inspired Dark/Dark tanker. Turns out, it wasn't.
grats on the lvl 50 tank!

thats the thing about the presence pool. it gets the masses of minions off me so I can concentrate on the heavy hitters. (also helps with aggro control in teams in case I pull too much and hit cap)|

but before I can completely fix my build gonna have to earn the cash for it. and to do that... I gotta get my interwebz fixed.
Had to dig this up because with my old build (haven't been able to afford the new one yet, only have 39 mil) I ended up being epically epic in PI today. So much so that a coalition mate literally said, "I HAVE TO SEE THIS" and epically faceplanted a few minutes later when they finally arrived. XD
^The 4th one joined in here.^
By the way, this is me going up against 4 DevMonsters in the northernmost part of PI
And no, I didn't faceplant.... till I stopped paying attention and was chatting in the midst of it.
and for those who say there isn't 4 monsters there, you should know, in PI, they travel in pairs. not odd numbers 
Congratulations on getting to level 50!
Now, as to your build, my impression is that you have over-slotted your defenses at the expense of your attacks. The still resented business of "enhancement diversification" sought to penalize players from focusing on their powers' core functions as the second in a series of Jack Emmert's disastrous nerfs. The bottom line is that more than three of the same enhancement in any one given power is a waste.
This means that a purely resistance toggle gets four slots max: three resistance, one endurance reduction, or the equivalent in set IOs. Attacks need more slots because they have more stuff you can enhance: damage, accuracy, endurance cost, recharge rate.
So six slotting Quick Recovery is a waste. You should swap one of the Damage Resistances in High Pain Tolerance to a third Health. All of your defenses are overslotted if they have more than three of any one kind of button in them.
You need three Recharges in Rage.
I would dump the Presence pool; you have all the necessary tools in your primary and secondary as a Tanker. I would instead pick up the Fitness pool. Getting both Health and Stamina involves building on your strengths.
I would drop Hand Clap like a hot potato. You are a Willpower tanker. The mob that gets knocked away from being next to you is the mob you could lose aggro on.
I wrote a couple guides you may find interesting:

I'm gonna chime in here about the whole Hand Clap and Presence Pool thing as well. Forgive me, but having the mobs stacked up around you is part of the strength of Will Power. More mobs you have around you the higher your Regen rate for Rise To The Challenge is. Also since your Primary focuses on Regen it would be more beneficial to you to stack that and enhance it with the Fitness and Body Mastery Pools. Furthermore you also rely on both Resistances and Defenses, so why not further enhance those with the Fighting and Leaping Pools? Lastely, it never hurts to have Footstomp up as often as possible, so Hasten is always a good idea to help out with that. Now the downside is the huge Endurance crash at the end of Rage/Hasten/Strength of Will combo. Sometimes can downright be nasty at the wrong times.
With that being all said, here is a generic IO'd out copy of my build that I have:

Hand-clap and fear if used properly are actually very useful. For instance, my handclap is slotted with taunt, and for the guys that get knocked back, well they are stunned, no real danger there, besides most people attack the center mass, if the blasters want, they can pick off the sides while they stagger around.
Also theres also such a thing as too many mobs surrounding you, there comes a point when damage vs. regen starts to tip the scales where they are just doing more damage than you can possibly regenerate (currently My last regen with a devmonster and about 4-5 ritki monkeys under me was about 200hp a sec.)
when damage beats out regen, your hp is gonna dip, and more mobs is not gonna make that come back up. Rise to the challenge has a cap, just like taunt. Hence the hand-clap, knocks some of them away (as its guaranteed to miss quite a few, just enough to slow down the damage output so regen outweighs damage, even for a moment because all you need is a few seconds to get half your health back.)
fear on the other hand. works GREAT against minions. and minions are my main problem. besides, I don't do boss farms, and when you play maps and content, 90% of the maps is minions and lieus. pretty open to being hit with fear. Keeps them planted (and still giving you regen) but, they don't damage you, again giving you precious seconds to regen your health when your bottoming out.
the hand-clap and fear were pretty well thought out when I chose them IMHO.
As for the slotting.... well you can totally blame jack for that, seeing how last time I played a tank.... CoV was being announced to go on the shelves a couple weeks later. (heck that was the last time I ended up playing CoX due to financial constraints until 3 months ago)
handclap and fear stay put I've come to love them as a tool of damage mitigation when used properly and haven't heard anybody whos teamed with me say anything about them.
If you have to use Hand Clap as a damage mitigator on a WP/SS then I have to say that you are doing it wrong.
Footstomp should be more than enough.
Quote:
It's all together, I use footstomp and I use it often, heck most of the time its Ctrl+clicked to be on auto trigger. but even it misses, or sometimes enemies can't be knocked down. (like in the shadow shard against the floaters there... I forget their names) just like a PB or a WS, its situational. I tried to make it as rounded out for any situation I can get myself in, and as the screenshots show me going against 3/4 DM's and I'm hovering, so I can't use rock throw or foot stomp, but I'm still surviving because I'm using those two other skills (again can't remember the name cause I just woke up but those bee things that get summoned, those can get annoying with recharge). One hand-clap and boom, knocked away and everything recharges back up again|

And I just did a side-by-side of my build vs. Statics build..... Ummmm No.
it drops my regen, relies heavily on IO's when my build is frankenslotted for as much regen as possible.
Just finished modifying another possible build, not sure if I messed it up or not. (where the heck is my coffee already!?!)

Definitely go for The Atlas Medallion, Portal Jockey and Task Force Commander. This all increase hit points or endurance, two things you can never have too much of.

I'd go a step further and recommend putting two or three more Crushing Impact sets of five for the extra 10-15% recharge set bonus. Even a set of level 35s gives you better numbers than common 50s. The hit point set bonus is useful too. If you're willing to wait a bit, you can get CI for pretty reasonable prices (a level 50 tank can earn enough for a few sets pretty fast).|

It's not an unaffordable completely min/maxed build neither, just a quick correction is all. |
Be careful you don't take too many of the same bonus, though. Remember the rule of five.

If I'm not mistaken, thats a PvP build aint it?
Correction, a Run-And-Smash PvP build. lol
This is my WP/SS tanker's build; the whole thing is in place except for some of the Numinas and LotGs in Weave; the current to-do list does not affect the build's usefulness. Some choices are idiosyncratic, like the Rage slotting.
All IO set builds are focused on the player's priorities, and different players will want different things. This character is quite adequate as a team tanker, holds aggro, is quite hard to kill, and solos well at large numbers of targets without panting.

All the run speed boosts are just my personal preference.
its a WP/SS build and also my first tank evah. so be gentle.
And please, pay no attention to what level what was added as I can't remember and I just set it up according to my current build.
So let me know what you old-school tankers think and toss some suggestions my way. (btw, too broke to buy ANY purples EVER and any IO's going for 100mil or more a piece)
