To be honest, this was the most helpful post so far. I've been pondering some of the 6-slot ones to frankenslot them with others and mix it up some.|

I don't necessarily think this is a bad idea, but if you're only going to 6-slot one attack, Jab is not the one I'd choose. - I'm not a fan of 6-slotted Numina's Convalescence (Fast Healing). Partly it's a waste of enhancement bonus, but mostly I find it's a waste if you don't have significant ranged defense to stack with it. Consider changing 3 of these to Miracles (non-unique) to get some more hitpoints and recovery. - 6-slotted Titanium Coating in Mind Over Body: see above. Consider using some of these slots to round out your attacks. - 6-slotted Aegis in Strength of Will: see above. - Rage really needs more recharge. - You're attacks, other than Footstomp and Jab are woefully underslotted for accuracy. I'm not seeing any To Hit buffs, other than Rage, which is down for about a quarter of the time, so adding accuracy is a virtual must if you want to be fighting plus level enemies. There are many unwanted sets that can be franken-slotted to boost damage and accuracy as well as endurance usage. I'd probably consider Focused Smite and maybe 2 Pounding Slugfests (for the regen bonus). - Rise to the Challenge is slightly overslotted for Healing. Consider changing one of those common Heals to a Numina's: End/Rech, which I believe is the cheapest of the set: you lose about 9% enhancement, and gain 35 hp. - Heightened Senses is slightly overslotted. LotG: Def/End can usually be had for under 5m with a little patience... probably less, but I don't usually deal in level 50 IO's. - If you're using Hover in combat, you really need some flight speed to give you mobility. Also, Fly is slightly overslotted: you can reach the fly speed cap with just 2 IO's. Undoubtedly there will be many more suggestions posted, and probably a few builds, while I've been typing this, but hopefully you find this helpful. |
As for accuracy, I do have a couple global accuracy buffs included with some of the sets raising it up some. (on a WarWolf farm I think I missed like 7-9%(guesstimate) of the time not including foot stomp because when you got 20 guys surrounding you, its hard to tally who bounced and who didn't
)and I don't use rage too often, the crash personally is not worth it unless I need to kill and kill quick, but thats just me. I've used rage before, had the perfect attack chain which actually started making a dent in my endurance, flipped on rise to the challenge and then the both detoggle one after the other, defense toggles crash and I faceplant. Perhaps its just my timing in using these two that cause such issues.
In the second build you posted, you have two -KB IOs, which are absolutely unnecessary for a WP tank. Dropping those will save you a substantial amount of influence, and in the case of the BotZ, free up that slot for something more useful.

Okay, the build I posted was Generic IO'd out so that's why the Regen wasn't probably as good. So I went back and put in IO's for you so you could see the difference. Also don't confuse % of Regen with HP Regen per second. You can still have a lower % Regen and be able to Regen more HP per second back with more HP that you have on your Tank. +HP really helps out more than a % of Regen does. If you have say 750% Regen, but only Regens about 40 HP per second then you have less of a chance of Regenerating back the damage you take as compared to somebody who has say 650% Regen, but Regens about 55 HP per second. I know I got fooled into thinking % of Regen was better until I finally got schooled and shown that +HP plus +Regen was better, and go for the +HP more.
