Invul/Elec; Offense or Defence?

Just wondering which of two builds to go for. Given how appaling I am at working the markets, or holding onto any ammount of inf for very long, I dont think dual building is a viable option except in the very long term.

The offensive build has just Primary and Seoncadry, along with fitness, Energy mastery and flight pool. Geared towards mashing stuff while still being quite tough;

While the second drops out of the mastery pool in favour of tough and weave, for added survivability;

Any feedback is much appreciated =]

I can't see Mids builds, but I personally went for Tough and Weave at the expense of an Epic pool.

It takes longer to solo stuff, but I enjoy being ridiculously tough to kill, while fighting huge clumps of enemies, and if "taking longer" means "doing something I enjoy longer" that's a sacrifice I'll make.

Also, other Tankers and other ATs of mine can do more damage than my Inv Tanker ever will, but not many characters can match a defensively-built Inv Tanker for ruggedness, and one of those (Stone Tanker) gives up even more offense. So, logically, I prefer to do my bulk killing with other characters and let the Tanker do what he does better than almost anyone else.

This is true. I did have him as an Invul/EM tanker at 50, but he was draining endurance like no-ones business, and he just wasn't performing like he used to.

I think I will dual build him, but Set the defensive build, for the IO +def bonueses I can get out of him, and leave the more offensive build as a casual 'pick up and hit' vanilla build.
