That's not the problem, energy is the most single target orientated set of them all with the possible exception of dark, pretty much anything else would be better as a secondary.

As of right now I use
Fire Ball, Whirling hand's,Burn(When I can get a good group together), and Molten armor. Then I use my Veteran reward Sands Of Mu.
it works kinda.
was this an old pvp used fire/em tank?.
and yeah with just one aoe in energy its kinda tough to farm with.sure you got the chain down. look more for defensive sets( which im not good with) like rectroative armors and try to sfot cap as best as possible cause your lack of aoe goodness will take a bit longer to farm with.
grab fe AND bu as well.
Just a thought, if you pop over to vill side, you might be able to grab a load of epic mu AoE goodness.

I wouldn't turn down defense buffs, but would not make them the focus of a build either. Go for recharge, recharge, more endurance, and more recharge and you will make yourself as tough as you want to be, be able to use Energy Melee without serious frustration, and have Healing Flames as up as often as possible for survivability; you're meant to rely on it.
My understanding is, the idea behind farming is to fight enemies you're strong against, rather than preparing to live through difficult fights. A build like this would be much more fun to run that sort of content with, and also a lot less difficult to actually put in place than a standard model defense bonus build. You're looking at snapping up the stuff that's in relatively low demand because everybody wants defense bonuses now.

Nice Build, I will be giving it a try soon. Thank you for the helpful input!
Heraclea's build is decent, but if you're already 50, I'd swap a few things around.
Take Tough at 50 - It doesn't need quite so many slots.
Move up the epic so you can take Fireball at 47, and move two slots from fire blast to fire ball. Five slots of Positron's Blast will give you the same recharge time bonus as that Entropic Chaos, and more AoE damage. And that was what you were looking for, wasn't it?

-Don't just rebel, build a better world, comrade!
Im just wondering, Where is a travel power?
I see what you did. You put combat jumping instead of flight my bad!
but then that does not explain not getting acrobatics?

That build does not have a travel power, either; if you're farming you may not be needing all that much cross zone travel, and when you do the Shadow Shard temps are probably good enough. If you want one, I'd move up Combat Jumping and take Jump, and drop Air Superiority. I do think Energy Melee needs a filler attack from a pool power, but your mileage may vary. My Fire/DB tanker relies on ninja run as a travel power.
And, that build has 8 points of knockdown protection from IOs. That's good enough, especially if you're farming and you get to pick the enemies you want to fight. You have immobilize protection in CJ, and in Burn. Acrobatics is not needed in that case.

THIS, folks.
http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/APP_Proliferation
Fire/Em/Mu.
Learn it, love it.
Tankers have gotten an OVERWHELMING buff with GR and i18, really and truly.
Whee!
Well the one I have now is pretty lame.
With GR around the corner I was wondering if someone could cook me up one just for AoE Farming.
Now I understand that Fiery is not the best for Farming, as it is very squishy.
I need a build that is Cheap not one that is Purples because I don't have much money to spend.
If someone could help me I would be forever Grateful
