A Tank Question

Ive been thinking about it for a couple weeks now.. but how would a invuln/elec tank do? I made a build up and to me it has pretty good stats.. but then again Im not sure itd be a good build to play..

Here is the build that I came up with:

*NOTE - this is a lvl 50 build not a leveling build.. I was thinking that maybe I could farm with it.. It might be slow, but itd get it done.. I also went with a team friendly build as well as the farming build.. Ive been thinking that I might just get rid of the farming side altogether..

First off, what is your goal for this build? You've accrued a lot of F/C defense bonuses, and hit the soft-cap for those damage types, but most Invul tanks consider that a low priority since F/C damage is rare compared to S/L/E. Though it isn't the only way to build a Invul tank, I think the most common goal for set bonuses is to get to the soft-cap, or at least increase the amount of available defense to S/L/E.

From the top of your build:

It isn't essential to take RPD so early in your build; I'd delay it until the 20s so you can take Stamina right at 20. I'd also try to take Chain Induction when it becomes available; Hasten or the Fighting pool can easily be delayed a few levels.

If you decide to go for S/L/E/NE defense, Reactive Armor is the set to use for your resistance powers; 4 slots will fully enhance your resist toggles (TI, UY, Tough) and give small S/L and E/NE defense bonuses. 3-slotting Aegis ifor the F/C def bonus s a good choice for the resist passives, but S/L def should be your primary goal.

DP is overslotted for Heal; I'd pull the two Miracle IOs and put them in Health so you have better regen. A Doctored Wounds Heal/Rchg in DP will get you to the ED cut-off for both Heal and Recharge. (I prefer 5 DW in DP, but you can choose based on your budget and which bonuses you prefer.)

Invul does NOT need any additional KB protection besides UY; those two BotZ -KB are a *very* expensive way to get less than 2% F/C defense! Personally, I don't think BotZ are worth slotting for typed defense bonuses anymore, I'd find a better use for those slots. Also, there is absolutely no point in using a single attribute set IO by itself; you're not getting any bonus from the LotG Defense in CJ, and it gives exactly the same defense enhancement as a common IO of the same level.

LotG is a good choice for Invinc and Weave, but use Def, Def/End, Def/End/Rchg and +Recharge. That will give you sufficient defense and end reduction in 4 slots.

If you want to get your S/L defense to the soft-cap, you're probably going to have to slot some of your ST attacks with sets that have S/L defense bonuses, like Kinetic Combat or Smashing Haymaker. KC has twice the S/L def bonus, but is much more expensive and hard-to-find than SH. Your call which you want to use, but in both cases, use 4 then add an IO from another set that provides accuracy and damage.

I strongly recommend Eradication for your PBAoE attacks; it has a nice E/NE bonus for just three slots, and you can add other set IOs to finish out the slotting. (Make sure you get enough end reduction.)

If you can free up a slot, put a 6th Mocking Beratement in Taunt, for an inexpensive 7.5% recharge bonus.

I'd also consider slotting a Kismet +Acc in either Tough Hide or CJ.

Hope that helps!
