Best pvp Tanker Spec?

In your opinion what do you think the best tanker build is?


 

Posted

Fire/SS/Earth


"the reason there are so many sarcastic pvpers is we already had a better version of pvp taken away from us to appease bad players. Back then we chuckled at how bad players came here and whined. If we knew that was the actual voice devs would listen to instead of informed, educated players we probably would have been bigger dicks back then." -ConFlict

SS is a must. Primaries are Elec, Inv, and Fire in no particular order. All three of those primaries are beast mode, anything other than those is just, meh.

Dark/EM/Earth

Try it, you might be surprised =)



Your character does not have capped defense. Depending on your AT the cap is between 175% - 225%. Your defense is not teal in the combat window, it can go higher. STOP SAYING IT IS CAPPED! The correct term is Soft Cap.
I enjoy playing in Mids. I specialize in Melee Characters, other AT's usually bore me.

Dark Armor is really, really bad in PvP.

If you're going to do something like that go all the way, like Dark/DB/Ice or have BA or WM as a secondary..

Positron's i13 letter: We are trying to make PvP more accessible to new players, while giving experienced PvP'ers the advantage that comes with formulating tactics around the new systems we're putting in place. PvP from now on will be on our priority list. If something isn't working out, we'll be in there tweaking it and making it work, for the entire future of the product, not just Issue 13.

anyone have a dual blade/ice build? I already know my power pools are gonna be flight, sj, ss, and teleport. What can I say, I love travel powers, also, I was thinking I would skip the epic power pool. I'm too lazy to hit the search button so if someone could please post that build, I'd appreciate it. Also, I only have 2k influence...

ZOMG! Perfect! Rolling now! I think I'll call her "fully Loaded". Nothing like a car with all the options in the world... but no "get up and go."
