SD/SM Leveling build

Vesuvius Avenger is currently level 32. I really like this build(as noted Shield Defense, Stone Melee). However, I am finding myself running into serious Endurance issues(not a big surpise). Also my current build reflects a huge lack of knowledge in various things such as ED, actual playstyle of a tank(mostly play blasters),etc. I created this toon in the height of AE farming and shelved him at level 30 just as quick as I was rapidly cycling toons during that time. Dusting him off, and wanting to make him viable I am looking at a respec(seriously, I didnt even take buildup and I have acrobatics instead of my primary's KB protection)

So with all that background out of the way, I am looking for a solid, damage build that makes best usage of SOs or generic IOs. I dont have much INF to spare at the moment. I generally solo but like to team as well, especially on TFs. So power choices by level is a big deal for me. I have learned a few things since I created this toon but I would really like your help. I thank you in advance. Help make Vesuvius Avenger the best Tank he can be.

Welcome to the tank forum.

First off, can you do us a favor and show us what your current build is? Mid's Build planner is a great tool for builds.

Secondly, you mentioned Acrobatics. I hesitate to get Acrobatics for a tank as the endurance cost outweighs the benefits you get from it. Although Active Defense is a click you end up with more status coverage then just Acrobatics alone. Plus AD gives you some defense de-buff resist, which for a shield tanks is very very helpful.


Go back and get your primary's status effect protection and throw in two recharges. In the long run it will help.

Once you've posted your build here, we'll have a better idea of what suggestions we can make.
