Tanker's Elec Armor or Invun for the toughest PVP tanker!

Posted

The PVP forum's I've searched for the answer to the question of which is the toughestamont the two to bring down in a wide PVP zone such as RV? There is a strong curiousity of why because I can see that elec armor offers a bit more survivable talents than invun but too, invun display the same potential.

Can anyone please help and discuss why either of them would be better than the other for PVP (mainly RV)?

Goon keeping it Gank-u-ster!!!

You'd get more mileage out of elec tanks simply because every other corruptor is a therm.

Im regreting i stripped my Inv to slot my elec because my inv was A LOT better at dealing with spike dmg. That meant for team arena matches Inv was a better choice. For zones it didn't matter too much as long as ur not running too many toggles vs a therm. For 1v1s an elec is gonna be better vs debuffers and blaster/doms.

So an Elec Armor Tanker has better resistance against a Therm?

Not better damage resistance, but resistance to Heat Exhaustion specifically. It won't change the fact that a decent Thermal Corr will still wreck you, but it will take longer since they won't drop your toggles.

I wrecked a Elec/Therm with a DB/Elec/Weapon Mastery Scrapper. Once I webnaded him he freaked out and lost his game plan. I do think he was new and an experienced Elec/Therm would more than likely have beat me...lol

i dont think he would have since he was energy type dmg and ur highly resistant to that. If he was a proced out fire then maybe eventually he'd kill you

I'm not very experienced... but would webnade really turn the tide in fite klub?.... If they aren't running I don't see much of a point in it...

why the heck would we be talking about dumb fight club?

I was replying to Barrier's post. I wasn't saying that it is or was fite klub as much as I was wondering why Barrier would say what he had said about no running allowed.

Well, I am very ignorant (noobish) of the fight-klub and the rules or so forth they imply to perform their arena/pvp events. Although it is an interesting point about "the running" and so forth. The reason why is well, we all (experienced pvp'ers) know that we want to play a toon for the simple roll when we first start pvp'ing in a pvp/arena zone, ... nothing else but to kill, kill & kill, LOL. Me too but that gets boring when you have established that point and you feel to reach another level in the PVP environment. To get to the point, I would like to get things a bit started (nothing new that already exist) but just to get much more involved with what there is now interesting to me which is to find such players, teams (especially if they roll together alot) and SG's (ima blu-side player so VG's won't be necessary for me now probably when we go ROGUE, ... wait that will still be blu-side).

I want to roll a Tanker. But between the two Elec Armor & Invun, it may be a "Tye", I am not sure because I never played an Elec Armor Tanker but I hear some really good things about it. So I should have mentioned that in begin with of the posting but it will be a team oriented PVP toon (like Defenders, I don't think one can prosper alone with a Controller or Tanker on his/her ).

The decision is a toughy.

LOL Invun does look very GODLY, I LOVE IT!!!

Goon keeping it gangst.., [COUGHHHH] xcuse me, ... Gank-u-ster

This is very true.

They are both armors that are a pain to deal with as an opponent.

ELA has a nifty heal, and 216%+ end debuff resist with the -debuff powers save its tier 9, while Invuln can have a measly 25% in its very much stupid passives. I wish they would buff that a smidge for pvp.

Invuln has the resistance but you'll probably want to team. Dull Pain can easily max your HP, and adding Tough will add to your overall resistance to everything.

Either way, unless you're a fite klubber, you'll want to team and taunt, taunt, taunt, etc. Just take the ranged hold/immob APPs like everyone else and spam offensives.

Experiment with other ATs too.

As far as I am concerned fightclub is just melee VS melee. All those other rules (standing still, no insps, no accos, etc...) are kind of silly imo. Although if they are requested by an opponent I'll go along with em.

To all the mellee toons that want to fight club you are selling yourself short.

The reason fightclub is so popular is because of lol mellee and TS. To truly be considered a good player you need to make your build work in arena under non re-re settings. So instead of building to stand around and pound on one another, build and practice to actually chase and kill. This is much easier said than done (I have never done it) but someday someone will figure it out. AND THAT COULD BE YOU!

I would say that Elec armor is far better, because you could get 2 healing powers (Energize, aid self) and you get power surge which takes your enemys end and replinishs yours, and you also get 100% tp for protection which is very handy when a droner is out there, and those MMs that try to tp you in the middle of there group thing whith their thousands of pets.


So i personally would say Elec Armor is better in Arena and zone,

Ohh and i have a elec/SS tank and it is really fun and i also do just fine by myself in RV.... the only thing that sucks is that you get ksed alot.. but i guese that is just apart of zone pvp....

inv gets dull pain, which is IMO better than energize...and tanks shuldnt die..like ever
