Accolades are REALLY IMPORTANT!!! perhaps equally as important as the IO's
*oh and just get the Jump Jet from sirens if u wanna RV wit this* <---- what i do on my tank
Only 32 points of KB protection? You are going to get tossed around like a ragdoll in Freedom RV or arena with that. For comparison here's the build I was tooling around with: I'd probably make some changes and try to fit in some more recharge but other than that it's got almost 2700 HP and 41 points of KB protection.

"One day we all may see each other elsewhere. In Tyria, in Azeroth. We may pass each other and never know it. And that's sad. But if nothing else, we'll still have Rhode Island."
Tossed around like a rag doll? Doesnt KB supress after you got hit once? I have same amount of KB and it is hardly my problem in RV. Bounced around like a rag doll is a bit overstated, especially when its a tanker with 2700 hps, decent resists, and a self heal thats up frequently.
How much do you need to get by something like levitate? 35? Thats what I would shoot for. No need to get past that.
You must not be pvping on freedom yet. If not I promise tossed around like a ragdoll is not an exaggeration.
Duel me.
I will work on my sig pic more when I have time.

Yeah i know i dint put that much kb protection...i rushed that build i had to leave and i had like 5 min to throw sumthin together...it has a ******** of HP tho
OMG I'm an idiot!!!!! WTH was I thinking all this time the rule of five applied to KB protection bonuses...*grumbles off*

If the KB isn't followed up by a coordinated spike, you are right in that you will probably live, but against a half-organized team it's a death sentence on pretty much anything without KB protection. As for how much KB you need... with DR on you only need 31-32 points to stop Levitate/Lift. Those are the most common KB powers in terms of zone and arena matches, but there are enough people with Power Push, Power Thrust, and Force Bolt that you'll want to be able to stop at least PP and PT, which requires 41 points of KB protection with DR on.

"One day we all may see each other elsewhere. In Tyria, in Azeroth. We may pass each other and never know it. And that's sad. But if nothing else, we'll still have Rhode Island."
im not really a big fan of phase if my heal is up fast enough that is enough time for me to run away end is one of my major problems when i 1 on 1 and i need more health iv asked ppl that have actually played fa/ss havent gotten a chance to talk to hyper yet but he is purped/pvp io'ed out so no point but iv seen friends do it with just regular sets and my tank is io'ed out there end never goes down and mine does lol im so confused
I use SO's on mine and I definitely have end problems too. But considering that as a tank, you shouldn't really be using more than like 2-3 attacks at a time, it's pretty easy to manage.
I am looking for some pvp builds for a fa/ss tank i currently have a lvl 50 but I feel he isnt io'ed the way he should be. My tank has a end problem compared to the other fa/ss tanks I fought against. I want to focus on end recov,hp,and recharge but if anyone has any better suggestions just say. It would also be nice if some people can post their builds or make one. I would like to use regular sets no purps or pvp io's right now.
