Hello! This is my willpower/dark melee tanks build. The only thing I really want with him is to not die. I'm willing to sacrifice some damage or something like that for more survivability. It would be mostly for PvE, like for AV's and such. I also run the ITF a lot so I want to be able to tank that too. I kind of went for defense over resistance in most cases but I'm not sure if that was smart or not since I've never made a tank build before, so correct me there if I'm wrong. This is meant for i19 so Mids is modded with inherent fitness and you can see how I slotted fitness at the bottom (I think you can still open it if your Mids isn't modded). It would be great if I could softcap my smash/lethal defense but I couldn't get it. Thanks in advance

A couple of things I see:

1. your Health and Stamina have 3+ slots. You really shouldn't have more than 3 in each and you can use those slots in defensive powers. This will be a mute point with issue 19.

2. if your just going to P V E, Hassen isn't a necessity. You may consider a few IO sets that increase recharge. Again something that you might keep once inherent fitness exist.

3. Need more slots in Tough, at least 3

4. stay with 4 malee powers and focus the rest of your powers on defense

5. I may have missed one but I did not see all the WP powers. Pools are good but Primary defense powers should always take presidence.

I hope that helps.

I mostly just did that because of the set bonuses and that this toon is mainly a regen focused build so I wanted to pack as much regen as possible.

I'll keep this in mind. I guess I'm just used too getting Hasten no matter what since I usually play controllers and scrappers.

This is one big thing that bothered me. But I couldn't really find where to draw those other 2 slots from.

I made sure I had all the defensive powers before I took offensive powers. As far as I can see there isn't really any other defensive powers I could have taken besides the ones from Leadership Pool. Unless I'm missing one?

I skipped Resurgence (Self-Rez) and Strength of Will (T9 Power). I skipped Resurgence because the whole point of this toon is to not die, and the only way to use that power is to die. It would be nice to have but I feel like I don't really need it. I skipped Strength of Will because I do not really like the T9 powers for tanks because of their crashes, SoW is a little better because its crash isn't bad, but I hate having to pop a power like that so I don't die.

Thanks for the help, it is greatly appreciated. It's always nice having your build looked at from another point of view.

imo Indom Will and Mind over Body are over slotted, you only need to slap 1 lotg rech IO in Indom and maybe 3 or 4 slot MoB, so there's at least 4 free slots to begin with.

If you're going to team a lot you will need 2 taunt IOs in RttC, otherwise you're going to end up with some of your team holding aggro as opposed to you.

I'm guessing this is an i19 build?

Here's the i19 build I've set for my WP/DM tank as a comparison:

Ok, so it has less regen and not capped HP, but it does have S/L/N/E/F/C softcapped defense, decent amount of recharge and good damage/acc bonuses.

I've always been a flyer, but it could be swapped with SJ (switching hover and CJ positions around)
