Im not very good a critiquing builds but a couple of things popped into my head reading what you wrote:
* You say you are taking into account inherent Fitness, however you haven't put any slots aside for it. The inherent version will be slotable that we know, however we do not know if the base values will be the same/higher/lower. At this stage I am assuming it will be the same base values so running it unslotted may cause endurance management problems.
* You say you want to be able to herd large groups and maintain agro however felt that Patron Pools added nothing to your toons. Can I suggest you re-evaluate using the Soul Patron Pool. You get a hard hitting single target attack and an AoE attack both of which do to-hit debuffs so will stack with your defence from Shield Defence and will allow you keep hold of agro at a range. On top of that you get Darkest Night which is a toggle AoE damage and to-hit debuff, again stacking well with Shield and can help keep hold of agro at the edge of groups.
Just my thoughts.
I think you need to go back to some first principles about what you are after before you look further into IOs, because you have the very basics wrong.
Start over by addressing your defences first.
All your defences that you have for yourself need to be ED capped for defence (ie: 3 SOs, or 2 40/50 IO's), and then preferably with 1 SO or IO of endurance reduction.
Then look at what else you can do for your defence. Probably pick up combat jumping or consider weave from the fighting pool. Just with the basics you can soft cap your defence.
Then move to your attacks. You need more. Things like your Tier 9 attack (Pendulum) tend to be really good, don't skip it. You need enough attacks to never be stopping. They need to be slotted with 5 to 6 slots, of the appropriate type (no knockback slotting!), so you end up with approximately 40% accuracy, 80% damage, 40% recharge, 40% endurance reduction.
After this, and only after this, look at set IOs. IMO I would search for what is best in the following order:
Melee Defence
Ranged Defence
Recharge
Melee & Ranged Defence are the primary types of damage you'll be receiving, and they are the only ones that will debuff your defence and make you a weaker target. As a tank you should be able to get 55% or higher without too much slotting. I wouldn't really worry about going further than that. Good Melee sets are Obliteration and Touch of Death. A good Ranged defence set is Mako's Bite.
Once again, I'd start by trying to build WITHOUT sets to begin with, get the powers appropriately slotted, and then look at improving your build.
The biggest problem I see with your build is that the defense and resistance toggles are very overslotted, and your attacks, in most cases, are very underslotted. In general, def/res toggles seldom need more than 4 slots; 6-slotting just overslots the power for end reduction but provides no additional defense or resistance. So the first thing I'd do is drop BA, Tough and Weave down to 4 slots each. Deflection I'd leave at 6 slots, but put level 50 common resist IO in the last two slots instead of the End and End/Rchg defense IO. This will free up a lot of slots for your attacks, and to slot Health and Stamina.
Also:
You need to have at least 45% defense to all positions, but I wouldn't recommend going above 50%. Currently, you have way too much Ranged defense, so it won't be too much of a problem if you lose the Ranged bonuses from the Red Fortune sets. Those slots are better used elsewhere. If you can't afford LotG, consider getting Gift of the Ancients instead; that set has much better 4 slot bonuses than RF.
Pick up the Steadfast +Def. Yes, it's relatively expensive, but the 3% defense to all in one slot is worth it. You can slot it in Tough or True Grit.
Perfect Zinger is not a great set for a positional defense character, since you only get 1.56% Melee def in 6 slots. You'd be much better off 6-slotting Touch of Death or Obliteration if you can afford them. If you can't there are other ways.
I'd also drop Maneuvers. It's a high-endurance toggle and has less defense when fully slotted than Combat Jumping. If you do decide to keep it, drop it back to 4 slots.
Unless you want to Hover-tank, CJ is a better choice than Hover, IMO. Whichever one you have, you have to have it running to get the defense, and I think CJ is a much better choice for combat mobility. In either case, though, I'd drop it back to 2 or 3 slots since neither CJ nor Hover take much endurance to run.
With the Numina unique slotted there, you're pretty far from the ED cutoff for Heal in True Grit. I'd add another Numina slot and slot 2 resist commons in the last two slots.
Against All Odds should be slotted for end reduction, not taunt duration.
Multi Strike is a good, inexpensive choice for your AoE attacks, and provides small AoE and Melee defense bonuses. However, for Shield Charge, since high recharge is important for it, I'd drop the last Scirocco's slot and add a slot of Multi Strike or a recharge common instead.
Soul Drain and Dark Consumption are moderate damage attacks, and should be slotted as such, though slotting for some end mod in DC isn't a bad idea.
Focused Accuracy is a huge end hog, so you'd be better off slotting it for end reduction if you keep it and the Mace Mastery pool.
Here's what your build looks like with the changes I suggested. You've lost the recharge bonuses from the RF sets, but dropping Maneuvers and getting Hasten instead will make up for that. I also put aside some slots for Health and Stamina, and the attacks are much better slotted.

My Characters
Knight Court--A CoH Story Complete 2/3/2012
Sorry for the slow reply, it decided to not email me to let me know there were replies. Finduilas, you're awesome! That's the kind of feedback I was looking for. :D
A few questions/comments regarding your reply:
Hover/Combat Jumping/Maneuvers - I picked Hover because as you may have noticed, I have no travel power, and occasionally there are places Ninja Run won't get me. It also comes in handy for tanking purposes sometimes. Would dropping Maneuvers and taking Combat Jumping while keeping Hover be a good idea?
Perfect Zinger - I'd have to look at my builds again, but I thought I slotted Mocking Beratement. I must've been smoking something. >.> Obliteration, I'm working on getting for the Shield/Dark build. It's slow going. :) (Edit: I checked the Shield/Dark build, and I *did* slot Taunt with Perfect Zinger, not Mocking Beratement. D'oh!)
Steadfast +Def - May be doable, depending on how the rest of the build works out. I'll see about getting that one.
True Grit - What do you think of slotting a fourth Numina's, but keeping the Aegis +Psi/Status and Resistance, rather than using basic IO's?
Against All Odds - You clearly haven't seen me tank. ;) I *do* have my reasons for slotting for Taunt Duration. Unconventional, yes. Does it work? Oh, yes! However, I could swap the basic IO for a Taunt/End IO? It doesn't cost THAT much endurance to run, though I see your point.
Soul Drain/Dark Consumption - Not really sure what to do, here. I honestly need Dark Consumption to be up as often as possible for solo. It's much less important when on teams. Soul Drain... It gets used as an attack when solo, but more of a secondary taunt when teaming. I was in debate as to how to slot them both.
Focused Accuracy - I wanted to do for the Shield/Dark what I did for the Shield/BA (6-slot Gaussian's for the set bonuses, especially the defense), but ran out of slots. Your other suggestions might help me fix this. I'll work on a re-build soon, and see what happens. I'm trying to find a better way to get the Perception bonus, but haven't thought of anything yet. Suggestions?
Multi-Strike/Scirocco's/Shield Charge - If I'm successful in getting a full set of Obliteration, I was planning on putting it in Shield Charge, which (with my current build with all the Red Fortunes and whatnot) gets Shield Charge down to 41.9 seconds, as opposed to 50-something. Thoughts?
As for the build you posted (which is much appreciated, by the way), that brings me to a question I've asked in-game before, and can never get a straight answer. Is it worth it to slot a lower level set that has better set bonuses (IE: Reactive Armor in Tough), or should I concentrate on getting the most out of the set first, and then worry about which set in the appropriate level range has the most useful bonuses? I hate to gimp my main powers by using a lower level set, but sometimes, it seems like it would be better to use a lower set with better bonuses.
Again, thanks for the reply, it's been very helpful!
Edit: I did a rebuild tonight, any thoughts? As far as acquiring the enhancements themselves, this should be more or less doable, if my patience holds out. :) I'm actually considering just ditching the Shield/BA and going with just the Shield/Dark, sell the enhancements on the Shield/BA, and transfer all the influence.

Side note: Accounting for the accolades I have (or am working on getting), I'll be at 2805 HP, and 115.9 endurance. I can work with this. :D
Sorry for the slow reply, it decided to not email me to let me know there were replies. Finduilas, you're awesome! That's the kind of feedback I was looking for.
A few questions/comments regarding your reply: Hover/Combat Jumping/Maneuvers - I picked Hover because as you may have noticed, I have no travel power, and occasionally there are places Ninja Run won't get me. It also comes in handy for tanking purposes sometimes. Would dropping Maneuvers and taking Combat Jumping while keeping Hover be a good idea? |
True Grit - What do you think of slotting a fourth Numina's, but keeping the Aegis +Psi/Status and Resistance, rather than using basic IO's? |
Against All Odds - You clearly haven't seen me tank. I *do* have my reasons for slotting for Taunt Duration. Unconventional, yes. Does it work? Oh, yes! However, I could swap the basic IO for a Taunt/End IO? It doesn't cost THAT much endurance to run, though I see your point. |
Soul Drain/Dark Consumption - Not really sure what to do, here. I honestly need Dark Consumption to be up as often as possible for solo. It's much less important when on teams. Soul Drain... It gets used as an attack when solo, but more of a secondary taunt when teaming. I was in debate as to how to slot them both. |
As for Soul Drain, *all* of a tank's attacks are secondary taunts, that's what Gauntlet does. And as it's slotted now, it's actually worse for that purpose than it would be if slotted as an attack, since it does relatively little damage.
Focused Accuracy - I wanted to do for the Shield/Dark what I did for the Shield/BA (6-slot Gaussian's for the set bonuses, especially the defense), but ran out of slots. Your other suggestions might help me fix this. I'll work on a re-build soon, and see what happens. I'm trying to find a better way to get the Perception bonus, but haven't thought of anything yet. Suggestions? |
Multi-Strike/Scirocco's/Shield Charge - If I'm successful in getting a full set of Obliteration, I was planning on putting it in Shield Charge, which (with my current build with all the Red Fortunes and whatnot) gets Shield Charge down to 41.9 seconds, as opposed to 50-something. Thoughts? |

I hate to gimp my main powers by using a lower level set, but sometimes, it seems like it would be better to use a lower set with better bonuses. |
Bottom line, you need to look at both things; how well a set enhances the power, and whether the set bonuses are desirable. Note that you usually don't need to have level 50 IOs to get to the ED cut-off with sets; depending on what IOs are available, sometimes IOs as low as 30 will do the job. I do recommend looking at level 50 sets when you're low on slots; 3 level 50 Aegis will get you a lot closer to 56% enhancement than 3 level 40 RAs.
Also, keep in mind that you lose the set bonuses if you exempt 4 levels below the enhancement level, which is a good reason to not just use 50s unless you really want/need the higher enhancement values.

Knight Court--A CoH Story Complete 2/3/2012
Well, I decided on what to do... The tank has since been respec'd, and hit 50. I was easily solo'ing +1/x4 Carnies with no Fitness pool. We shall see how it handles other things soon. For now, though, it's almost 5AM, and I need to get up in about 4 hours. Build is below, which matches the current in-game build, with two exceptions. One, I haven't picked up the two IO's for Salt Crystals (which, by the way, will give me another 4% Recovery, helping the non-Stamina tanking even more. Hehe), because they are much more expensive than I had expected. Two, as usual, I managed to screw up *something* with the in-game respec, and forgot to pick Hasten until 49, and hence used the slots meant for Hasten on other powers. The slots from 50 are reserved for Health/Stamina once I19 hits, so Hasten will just have to survive with only one slot. lol

I don't know if a character who does not already have the Fitness pool will get it as inherent as soon as it goes live, but I'm thinking it will not. Since pre-existing characters will not be automatically losing the pool, it stands to reason that they will not automatically gain it either. From what we have been told thus far, pre-existing characters will remain exactly as they are until respecced, and I see no reason that wouldn't be true of characters that do not have Fitness already.

In my glee at being able to take the villain EPP's, I didn't notice the fact that none of them really benefit me all that much until *after* I finished the patron arc, respeced, and started buying IO's. So, I'm playing with a new build. This one is taking I19's inherent Stamina/Health into account, which allowed me to throw Maneuvers and another attack or two in. The main purpose of this build is herding large mobs for large teams and holding the aggro, while still doing fair damage. Frequently on TF's, mainly ITF. When I solo/small teams, I usually run something like +2/x4-6.

Set Bonus Totals:
Rather than starting a second topic, I figured I'd also throw in a build for my next tank, which is currently sitting at 40-something. I primarily use him for solo-ing (again, large mobs. He was solo'ing -1/x8 Nemesis missions without trouble, and he doesn't even have IO's) and TF's. Not so much for "normal" teams, though that may change by the time he hits 50. See the next post for the mids build.
