Old to Tanks, new to IO sets.

Like the title says, I'm a long time tanker player that's just gotten the time, influence and desire to play around with the IO sets and all that junk. I've figured out a plan for my dominator and I know generally what I want from my masterminds, but with my tanks (particularly my main) I don't even know where I should start and what I should build towards.

Any advice would be helpful and appreciated.

It depends on your Primary.

In general, you want to get Defense, Recharge, and HP from set bonuses. Some sets might have special needs, like Stone Armor wanting to have extra Run Speed, and Invulnerability wanting to get some Psionic Resistance.

Can you tell us a bit more about the specific tankers you want to juice up? What you want to do with them, how much inf you want to spend on them, etc. IO sets get pretty complex (as you know), so it's hard to give blanket advice, even for a specific AT.

Look forward to talking shop with you.

The one tanker I really want to IO out is my main, who's a Willpower/Super Strength.


EDIT: I should say, my NEW main, who's still relatively low level. I might decide to make him an Invuln.

This is the order I would prioritize things in:

1) HP/Regen: Your priorities for Willpower are going to be to jack up regen and max HP as high as you can get them. Lots of sets have these bonuses from just 2 or 3 pieces, so you can get a lot of mileage from frankenslotting (slotting more than one set per power to grab odd set bonuses).

2) Recharge: With Willpower, you have access to a lot more recovery than other primaries, so you can get away with things that other tankers can't (as easily). Think about getting Recharge Bonuses (80%-90% if you can afford Luck of the Gambler, 50ish% otherwise). This will let you footstomp more often, which is a great source of mitigation. Consider getting Hasten in your build as well. You can definitely handle the end drain from Rage and Hasten, so why not?

3) Defense: Keep an eye out for defense bonuses, as Willpower also has a strong defense component (from Heightened Senses). You want to primarily look for Type defenses in your set bonuses rather than position defenses. For instance, Gaussian's Synchronized Fire control has amazing positional defense (Melee, Ranged, AOE) as a 6-piece bonus, but only mediocre type defense (smashing, lethal, etc), making it less attractive for Willpower.


Some other stuff:

-- Do you have Mid's Hero and Villain Designer? It's a quick download and well worth it for helping you to plan out characters. It's also fun if you're a geek.

-- Remember that you can only have 5 of any set bonus in your build. For instance, you can only have five 10% regen bonuses from sets. Any 10% regen bonuses beyond that are completely wasted.

-- Feel free to post a build and get feedback on it from us. This sort of thing works best as an organic process.

I do have Mid's and I actually didn't know about the 5 set bonuses thing. I'll work on a build and get it up in a bit.

Take it for what it's worth as the only WP character I've leveled is a Brute but I'd look for two things... max HP boosts which will effectively increase your regen and defense boosts.

I look at it kind of like a Regen scrapper... you already have a ton of regen out of the box... you'll gain more by adding layers to your protections. Your first layer being Defense... S/L is the most important type since it protects from the most attacks. More HP is always a good thing for a tanker, since it translates into more damage taken before you faceplant and more HP regenerated since your regen is a percentage of your HP... more HP total equals more HP regenerated per second.

I'd list Recharge bonuses as QoL additions rather than necessities since WP has no powers that benefit from recharge. It'll smooth out your attack chain and that's about it. Nice to have, but not at the expense of max HP and defense.

Again, this is based on my experience leveling a Fire/WP brute, not a tanker but the logic should apply equally well to either.

I don't want to get into specific sets as I don't claim to be a great builder. The one thing I will say is experiment. Build your tanker out, review the different sets you can add to each of your powers and compare various interesting looking sets. If you click on the view totals button and then switch between default slots and alternate slots (flip slots to alternative, shift+right click) to compare the effects of the bonuses. Doing this will give you an idea of what the set really does for your character. For instance you can see how much faster you regen from 1-100 with one +10% regen set bonus vs five +10% regen set bonuses. You can also do this for your attacks, just want to look at end, rchrg, dmg, acc, etc..

My last piece of advice, unless you are very wealthy don't get your heart set on any specific set or IO (some IOs can run in the hundreds of millions (one LotG +global recharge is running around 150 - 200 million right now depending on level)). Once you find some sets you find interesting, check market prices. There is no reason to spend an hour or 3 putting an IO build together just to find out that some of the sets you wanted are way out of your price range. Once you start building for specific bonuses this can have quite an impact on your build, even to the point of having to start over.

Personally, I have a lot of fun putting builds together that I can afford. With i19 on the horizon I have been making non Fitness pool builds for all my toons. While I don't have the technical skills to make Fitness inherent and the patch isn't working it is still fun. I have to slot brawl/rest to make up for what I will put in Health/Stamina. Then take the recovery/regen rates from my build with Stamina/Health to gauge what the new inherent Fitness build will look like.

As always, this is only my opinion, your experience may vary.

If you decide to make him Invuln (which is an awesome set with a much better taunt aura than Willpower), you should look at Call Me Awesome's Guide to softcap an Invuln Tank. He suggests less expensive sets that still work, and I can tell you from how it worked on my Invuln/Axe that it is very effective. Invuln has high Defense AND Resists AND a self-heal for those few times that something gets through. WP has a mix of Defense and Resist and relies heavily on Regen, but a very weak taunt aura that makes drawing aggro a bit of a challenge. But WP may be easier to level up.

Some things as they come to mind:

1) You should really go for IO Sets rather than common IOs. Not only do you end up with more well-rounded stats in your powers, but you get set bonuses. You can get cheap (yellow) sets for not much more (and in some cases less) than the common IOs.

2) Your mileage may very, but I don't recommend slotting for taunt in your powers, although that's a personal preference of mine. If you'd like to juice up your aggro-holding abilities, there should be some experts on here who will show you where to put those taunt IOs.

3) Your Taunt power doesn't need accuracy unless you plan to use it in PVP (it auto-hits critters).

4) Attack powers, assuming you're not using sets, should have something like the following: 1x accuracy, 3x damage, 1x endredux, 1x recharge. Sometimes I like to go with 2 damage and 2 recharge. However, don't use common IOs. Get some Crushing Impacts or Mako's Bites in those mofos.

5) Don't worry about Endredux for Strength of Will. It boosts your recovery while it's active, so the one-shot cost of using it is not noticeable.



I'll take the powers you've picked here and throw something together for you, as a "What Would Doctor Xaxan Do" build.

EDIT:

6) You won't need Boxing, since you have Air Superiority.

Here you go. It's dirt cheap, it works, and there are some slots left over for you to play with. I'm not a Willpower expert, so anyone else should feel free to come in and pick up the slack on that.

You'll notice that Boxing is slotted with a set called Stupify. This is what you'll see refered to on the boards as "muling", i.e. slotting a power you don't intend to actually use to pick up some sweet set bonuses. In this case, extra HP and recharge.

Thanks.

1) I put in standard IOs just to show how I usually slot, as I said, this is one of the first times I'm playing with sets, so I wasn't going to jump right in without some idea of what to go for.

2) I'll go talk to some of those people on that front. One of my main concerns with the Willpower is the aggro holding for when I want to play lead tank.

3) Did not know this. Thanks for the heads up.

4) I have a tendency to miss a lot, so I usually go with more accuracy.

5) Haven't actually used Strength of Will, so I was making assumptions.

6) I grabbed Boxing to start off the Fighting pool and I wanted to make it somewhat functional.

You can definitely slot up Boxing as a serviceable attack, but with Air superiority, you have more single target attacks than you need at that point. Just something to keep in mind.

Question for you, since its easier to put builds together if we know, how much inf are you looking to spend?

Some of my 'go to' sets for nice bonuses and fairly inexpensive/available are listed below. Of course, remember the rule of 5. Most of these will run between 15 and 100 million per set (depending on patience).

Crushing Impact for melee.
Scirocco's Dervish for PBAoEs.
Titanium Coating (I three slot each with end/res, res, res/end/rchrg and 1 res/end of any other set) for resistance.
Red Fortune for defense (slotting is the same as Titanium Coating).
Positron for cones (minus the chance for damage, add in Acc/dmg/end from Detonation).
Thunderstrike for ranged.
Doctored Wounds for heals.
Efficacy Adaptor in end mods.

My more expensive choices are:

Purples where they can fit.
Melee doesn't change unless I am trying to cap some defense, then Kinetic Combat for S/L or Touch or Death for Melee.
Obliteration in PBAoE.
Reactive Armor for resistance.
Luck of the Gambler for defense.
Still Posi for cones.
Devastation (regen & HP), Thunderstrike (defense) or Decimation (rchrg) for ranged.
Still Doctored Wounds in heals, I slot Numina, Miracle and Regenerative Tissue in either Health, Fast Healing or Physical Perfection.
Performance Shifter (with the +end IO) in end mods.

Here is a sample build, it is not cheap but has no Purples and is not soft capped but does have decent defenses, pretty good regen, good global recharge (not great) and very good recovery (you shouldn't ever have to stop, even with Rage crash). Of course I used maximum level IOs, the numbers will change a bit with different levels. I won't claim that this is the best build, I am sure more experienced builders can make one that is a lot better. Also, if you wanted to fully concentrate on 1 or 2 bonuses (HP, regen, recharge, etc.) you would want to change things around. You could switch out the LotG and Numina sets to save quite a bit of inf.

Breakdown:

Regen - 731% with 1 in range of RttC | 80.27 HP/s | 927% with 5 in range | 101.88 HP/s
HP - 140.4% | 2631.274 @ 50
Recovery - 4.01/s | 2.84/s net recovery
Recharge - 42.5%
Accuracy - 41%

Defense
28.1 s/l
30.9 e/ne
28.4 f/c
19.5 psi

Resistance
70.5 s/l
11.7 e/en/f/c
48.1 psi

Price is typically not a big deal, whatever I can't fund with my many alts, I can either earn or borrow.

This is the order I would prioritize things in:

1) HP/Regen: Your priorities for Willpower are going to be to jack up regen and max HP as high as you can get them. Lots of sets have these bonuses from just 2 or 3 pieces, so you can get a lot of mileage from frankenslotting (slotting more than one set per power to grab odd set bonuses).

2) Recharge: With Willpower, you have access to a lot more recovery than other primaries, so you can get away with things that other tankers can't (as easily). Think about getting Recharge Bonuses (80%-90% if you can afford Luck of the Gambler, 50ish% otherwise). This will let you footstomp more often, which is a great source of mitigation. Consider getting Hasten in your build as well. You can definitely handle the end drain from Rage and Hasten, so why not?

3) Defense: Keep an eye out for defense bonuses, as Willpower also has a strong defense component (from Heightened Senses). You want to primarily look for Type defenses in your set bonuses rather than position defenses. For instance, Gaussian's Synchronized Fire control has amazing positional defense (Melee, Ranged, AOE) as a 6-piece bonus, but only mediocre type defense (smashing, lethal, etc), making it less attractive for Willpower.
I'd say IO-set +regeneration bonuses are your last priority on Willpower. You have so much regeneration to begin with that the additional +regen from set bonuses is proportionally insignificant. If you can fit them in, then great, but only after you've covered your other bases. That said, many +regen bonuses come as a natural consequence of pursuing +HP bonuses. HP bonuses are important because they multiply what regeneration you have, but still not nearly as important as DEF (if you want to skew toward survivability) or +recharge (if you want to skew towards offense).

If influence is not a concern, then you can potentially soft-cap your S/L/N/E DEF, have near the cap in HP, and 50-70ish in global recharge bonuses. We're talking easily 5 billion for that sort of build, but it's not a bad long-term goal if you're heavily focused on playing your Tanker.

Cheaper builds can nearly reach those heights too, though I confess I'm a little out of touch with the going rate for various IOs. My advice would be simply to play around with frankenslotting using the cheapest set IOs you can find. Even with no set bonuses, mixing and matching set IOs for the best enhancement values can make a world of difference. Then you can spend some time getting a better idea of what things cost, what you're willing to spend, and what exactly you want your build to do.

Come Issue 19, we're getting inherent Fitness, which will change just about everyone's build. Willpower is well-positioned in the sense that you can respec out of Fitness to prepare for I-19 beforehand without crippling your recovery in the meanwhile. Nice way to save the I-19 free respec.

Anyway, here's a pie-in-the-sky WP/SS build. Keep in mind that I'm using a patched version of Mids with inherent Fitness, so it may look like I'm running a little light on recovery. It's an extremely expensive Issue 19 build drawn up with no particular care, just to show you what's possible:

I agree and disagree at the same time regarding the extra regen for Willpower. I look at Willpower and regen similar to Invice and defense, both aim for highest numbers with 1 in range. Regardless, you are right that many good sets also include +regen and +HP. I modified my build to include Accolades and the PVP +3% defense power as I didn't include those before. I normally don't include the Gladiator because it alone costs 2 billion. I also dialed it in a little better. I lost recharge for greater defense (hurts a bit, attach chain isn't too bad but KoB and Foot Stomp are slower). This is a hastenless build so a 9 second Foot Stomp isn't too bad.

I should probably state that I hate endurance issues of any sort, so I build to never have that problem.

Breakdown:

Regen - 733% with 1 in range of RttC | 90.77 HP/s | 929% with 5 in range | 120.21 HP/s
HP - 165.3% | 3097.823 @ 50
Recovery - 4.31/s | 2.634/s net recovery (with FA active)
Recharge - 32.5%
Accuracy - 47% (26.6% ToHit)

Defense
41.6 s/l
36.9 e/ne
34.4 f/c
25.5 psi

Resistance
70.5 s/l
11.8 e/en/f/c

Interesting. I'm gonna continue playing around with this stuff. How do you get the i19 Mids patch?

You can get better recharge + defence by leaving out the ~3 billion Inf Gladiator Proc and taking Combat Jumping. See the below build for an example, >70% S/L Resists, Softcapped to S/L Defence and >90HP/Second Regen with one foe in Melee Range, plus Fully Slotted GodMode (it's an i19 build - Use the three spare slots in "Super Jump" to Slot "Health" with Numinas - Heal, Heal/Rech, Heal/End + the Miracle Unique... or swap out the Self Rez for Physical Perfection, stick the Miracle Unique in its default slot and use the remaining spare slot in Stamina).

Note that you don't need Focussed Accuracy at all, ever. It's a negligable tohit buff, and you've already got an opportunity to slot the +Perception unique in Rage and you'll never be missing stuff with "Rage" running.

I'm not convinced the build above can sustain footstomp for long if you have rage going and footstomp with such minimal endurance reduction. 15 endurance/activation is going to drain you really fast, even with Quick Recover.

This is something I threw together quickly; don't worry too much about the order of power selection I took please Basically soft capped to everything, 50% global recharge. I've left a few slots open, because I'd put 3 performance mods in Stamina and 2 Numina's/1 Heal IO in Health. That shoud add 10 hp/sec regen and ~.8 stamina/second on top of what you'll see.

Using Bunny's excellent build as a template, I threw together a version that doesn't use the Gladiator Unique. Instead of leaving 6 empty slots for two Numina and a Heal IO in Health and 3 performance mods in Stamina, I left three slots empty for one Miracle unique (in Health) and 3 Efficacy Adaptors in Stamina.

Also, I'm a sucker for Fly on my Tankers, but that's mostly a cosmetic difference. Bunny chose SJ for travel and Stealth as an LoTG mule at the end of the build. I chose Fly as a travel power and used Hover as an LoTG mule. Stealth is arguably more useful as a situational power. Either way, you could fit in Hasten if you wanted to do. As always, YMMV.

BunnyAnomaly Edited: Level 50 Magic Tanker
Primary Power Set: Willpower
Secondary Power Set: Super Strength
Power Pool: Fighting
Power Pool: Leaping
Power Pool: Speed
Power Pool: Flight
Ancillary Pool: Mu Mastery

Here's a quick rundown of the pros/cons:
  • Soft-capped S/L/N/E DEF (45% on the nose) and 37.5% F/C DEF, versus Bunny's build which basically soft-caps to all non-exotic attack types (and gives a little extra cushion @ 48.4% S/L RES too). Fire/Cold DEF is much less important, because Fire/Cold attacks are fairly rare to begin with, and many of them are also typed as S/L for the purpose of opposing defense. If you're not going to pick up the ~3 billion influence PvP IO, it's just not worth it to pursue F/C on a Willpower Tanker, IMO.

  • 3161 (168.7%) max HP, as opposed to 3104 (165.7%).

  • Regeneration (with one foe in RttC range) of 79.5 HP per second (602% of base), versus 84.13 HP/sec (649% of base).

  • 4.56 end/sec in recovery versus 4.52 end/sec. (Functionally equivalent.)

  • 1.12 end/sec in toggle costs, versus 1.09 end/sec. (Functionally equivalent.)

  • More damage, recharge, and end-reduction enhancement on Punch, Haymaker and KO Blow. In general, enhancing attacks will save you much more endurance over time than enhancing toggles.

  • Same global recharge (+50%), and 3-slotted Hasten.

  • Less recharge on Rage, but still enough to make it permanent without Hasten up. When Hasten is up, it more than compensates for the loss to the power's recharge.

  • About 0.5% less RES across-the-board. 70.3% S/L RES on Bunny's build becomes 69.8% on mine.

  • No Hami-Os, which may or may not be a good thing. It's been ages since I checked their prices on the market, but the last time I checked they were very scarce at any price. LoTGs don't exactly grow on trees either, though.

  • Saves lots of influence by skipping the Gladiator IO, but also requires extra inconvenience; you have to switch to Villain side temporarily to pick up the Mu Patron Pool, versus staying Hero-side for the Pyre APP. (Saves a power pick on Ring of Fire or Char, either of which can be situationally useful, but not as good on this build, IMO, as the +7.5% global recharge bonus from a mule like Hover or Stealth).

With this point-by-point breakdown, it isn't my intention to try to tout my build over Bunny's. Preferences vary and every build has its flaws relative to another. The idea here is simply to give an idea as to the thought process behind each decision, and to provide a simple comparison between two builds that start with very similar layouts and goals, but end up quite different primarily because of one IO. (The Gladiator unique)

In the world of IOs, one slot can be that important.

All of that said, my build isn't exactly cheap. Short of that one IO, and short of tossing purple sets into the ranged attacks, it's about as expensive as Tanker builds get, AFAIK. Oh, and by the way, if you want the Mid's patch that gives you inherent Fitness, then go here. Note that the newest version of Mid's (1.81) will not work with the patch in the OP of that thread; that's why I linked you directly to Shadow State's post with the newer patch.

Unzip the files to the Mids'/Data subfolder and you should be good to go.

That's an understandable viewpoint, but there's one extremely important difference between regeneration and DEF: DEF becomes more valuable as you get more of it. Regen provides a linear benefit. Regen is also one-dimensional in the sense that it only serves one function. By contrast, DEF improves your alpha-strike survivability, your avoidance of debuff effects, and it multiplies the benefit of your max HP, of your regeneration, and of every heal that's ever thrown your way.

Even +HP is more multifaceted than +regen, improving both itself (and thus increasing your resilience against alphas and increasing the reaction time you need to pop a heal or ask a teammate for one), and multiplying your regen rate.

Granted, neither DEF nor regen bonuses exist in a vacuum; chances are you'll pick up some measure of both without even trying. Ditto +HP and recharge. DEF bonuses also tend to be more slot-intensive than regen bonuses, so it's hard to draw a realistic equivalence between them in terms of investment; I can't exactly say that X amount of DEF from IOs has the same opportunity cost as Y amount of regen.

All else being equal though, DEF > Regen, and it's not close. On a WP Tanker, you start with about 500% standing regen (one foe in RttC, off the top of my head) without even touching Inventions or power pools. A fully enhanced High Pain Tolerance gives you roughly +30% max HP. So right off the bat, you're looking at roughly (1874 * 1.3) / (240 / 5) = 50.7 HP/sec in regeneration, with one foe in range of RttC.

How much can we improve on that through DEF? Well, in theory, capped DEF (45%) gives you 90% mitigation. So ignoring RES (which also multiplies regeneration), our humble 50.7 HP/sec can be improved to an effective 507 HP/sec through DEF.

How much can we improve through +regen bonuses? Well, enhanced Health gives you like +80% regen, and we can take Numina/Regenerative Tissue for another +45%, and then we can take the rule-of-five limit of 12%, 10%, and 8% regen bonuses (another +150% total, from fifteen set bonuses)), and then if we're really going nuts we can take Physical Perfection for another 40%ish. That's a total of +315% in additional regen.

And heck, while we're at it why don't we throw some +HP bonuses into the mix: +20% from Accolades, and let's say another 20% from IOs. That brings our max HP up to 170%, up from 130% with HPT alone.

Plug all of those regen/HP-oriented bonuses in, and we're looking at about (1874 * 1.7) / (240 / 8.15) = 108.2 HP/sec. That's more than double our original 50.7 figure, but it's still only about 1/5th of the DEF-enhanced number. And as RttC ramps up with the number of opponents, the proportional benefit of those regen bonuses will diminish, whereas the DEF continues to multiply by 10.

An over-simplified example, obviously. It's also purposely extreme. WP Tankers are best served by going for DEF, +HP (and/or +recharge if you're more interested in offense). Regeneration is in a very distant last place.

The corollary is that high-mitigation, low-regen power sets benefit a lot from extra regen. If we were talking Invuln for instance, I'd be all over picking up regen bonuses where you can. Slot out Health? Yes please. Regen bonuses are far from useless; they're just more useful to some than others.

Sorry for the ramble.

Oh, I agree with the Combat Jumping part, the OP wanted Fly, which is why its on my build. As far as FA goes, its for giggles, I don't need conserve power so might as well get something for the free perception and acc bonus if ever needed (I don't think I have turned mine on in a long time for accuracy). Thank you, nice build by the way.

An over-simplified example, obviously. It's also purposely extreme. WP Tankers are best served by going for DEF, +HP (and/or +recharge if you're more interested in offense). Regeneration is in a very distant last place.

The corollary is that high-mitigation, low-regen power sets benefit a lot from extra regen. If we were talking Invuln for instance, I'd be all over picking up regen bonuses where you can. Slot out Health? Yes please. Regen bonuses are far from useless; they're just more useful to some than others.

Sorry for the ramble.
No need to apologize haha, you are helping everyone out with your explanations. I guess the reason I built this one the way I did is my WP/Elec. I am sitting at mid-high 30s in defense with over 700% regen with 1 in RttC. He is one of my most fun tanks, just a non-stop beast. Don't mean to thread jack but since the OP was looking for information on IO slotting and tanks...

A few questions about your build though. Why the Serendipity in Weave instead of another LotG? Doesn't make a big difference in end and ED capping defense in Weave doesn't really do anything either but you do get a 9% acc bonus for 4 LotG. Second question, where are you getting the recovery from? My WP/Elec has Stamina, Quick Recovery and Physical Perfection yet I only sit at 4.35/s (still working on last two Accolades but even with them comes to 4.56)?
