I assume you intend to build this as a skranker instead of a meatshield tank? You'll have a LOT of trouble actually holding aggro with this character... your aura is incredibly weak as an aggro tool and unfortunately SS doesn't get any AOE until 38 to help hold aggro.
You won't be holding any appreciable amount of aggro until 38 and Foot Stomp; if this isn't your intent then you need taunt MUCH earlier.
Looking over your other tankers I'd guess that you know what you're doing and are intending a skranker instead of meatshield.

Yeah this toon isn't really designed to be a lead tanker. If he holds some agro while pounding some faces, so be it. Lately it has all been about the end game for me. However going rogue will probally change the way people play this game.
This toon will actually probably be something that I am on a end game farm team of friends with or something. A team that doesn't need the agro management, yet more of a damage out put. Why a tanker? Meh not really needed to be, I just figured I would create a toon that I could attribute my self to. You ever see Big Daddy Jake running round, give him a read, his bio is a stent in time of my own life events.
The forum goers like you, and many of the others I used to post with, make me miss the forums. Glad it was one that I know.

For your power choice, I think you can try an attack chain that includes jab, and skip punch. This way, you won't paste a power. With rage, I think your attacks are accurate enough. Unless you want resistance against to-hit debuff, I think you can skip focused accuracy. Also, see if you can include strength of will into your build.
For your slotting, willpower uses typed defense. So, you should try to use IO sets which offer higher typed defense bonus to stack with your toggles, instead of going for positional defense bonus. For example, you should use kinetic combat in your attacks rather than touch of death.

yeah focused ACC and Taunt, really were fillers. Same with punh. On that note, I would probally rater slot punch than jab, it does more damage. In punch I ment boxing. I could drop punch all together. Boxing does more dmg than jab, less damage than punch though. I could drop punch and focused acc and taunt and pick up resurgence, strength of will, and conserve power. Conserve power would help with rage crashes, and SoW crash for that matter.|

The reason for ToD in the attacks, was a 3 fold option of 28 hp, 2.5% dmg, and the 1.8% S/L def.
That and Kinetic combat is so blumming expensive. Last I looked one was selling for over 120 million. I generally only get about 15 hours a week to play, so this build is quite high end for the time it will take to finish the build.
Kin combat, all those squshies like to use to make them soft capped, and gods.
I will play with the build. I thought of resurgence and SoW. Might re-look at my build.

You can consider smashing haymaker. It also offers 1.8% s/l defense. The hp bonus is lower, and I don't think 2.5% damage is a big deal. This way, you can save 1 or 2 slots from each attack.

So I whiped up this build. It looks pretty solid on paper. but what cha think? It is a true to Life Avatar... That is why taunt is so late. This tanker is something that really is just a big tough guy (kinda like me). I am a lil fatter than the toon :P Any ways check it out and lemme know what cha think.
I see I went over the 5 limit on the 2.5 recovery. I will change that out for something else. disregard that.
okay I changed it out
