Inv/BA Tank Build

Been away from game a while and would like to know how I can improve this build a little or if there are any glaring weaknesses. Thanks

First off, welcome back to CoH!

First off, a question:

What kind of budget are we working with here?



Now, onto some suggestions:

1) Take Swift instead of Hurdle as your prereq to Health and Stamina. Swift boosts both run and fly speeds, which can help you get around both in combat and while flying around.

2) Get Dull Pain much, much earlier. RPD can wait a bit, but Dull Pain should be a level 2-4 pick, and should be slotted to get you to the ED caps for Recharge and Healing. 5 Doctored Wounds is good IO slotting, I've found.

3) May I ask why you got both Flight and Super Speed? They don't exactly stack very well. You could drop one or the other and get Taunt, which has a nice little -range Debuff on it now.

4) I would vote for dropping Hurdle completely, dropping unstoppable, and working in the Fighting Pool. Tough at the very least will help you a lot.


I'll offer up a few more suggestions once I know what kind of budget we're looking at.

What are your intentions with the build? It looks to me like you're all over the place with bonuses and you're ending up with something that really doesn't accomplish a lot more than a straight SO build would do. IO bonuses can do remarkable things, but you need to have a goal in mind and build on that... individually each bonus is very small. It's only when you start to stack bonus on top of bonus that you see the extreme results people talk about with "IO'd" toons.

Your power selection order really needs work and you certainly need work on your slotting. Right now you're much less durable than you could be and your attack slotting is suspect as well. I'd recommend a rethink of what you want to accomplish.

If you're looking for durability without downsides check out my guides... the first is a basic primer for getting your critical powers in place by level 20 and the second is a secondary-neutral guide for increasing your durability. I didn't go into detail on other bonuses in my soft cap guide but I did leave room to incorporate whatever other additions you may want.

<edit>
You could see some significant durability improvement by simply changing your power selection and slotting even on plain SO's; as your build sits it kind of looks like a case of "this set looks cool" and "I like that set" without an overall goal you're building toward. Hey, I understand... if you've been away for a long time all this is a lot to absorb all at once. That's partly why I wrote my guide.

Honestly I really only play this toon for new content and an occasional SF. Budget is 750M. I also have a full set of Efficacy Adaptor currently in my tray for when I respec.
I will also look at your guides... Thx
