Alpha and my fire/ice and stone/fire tanks.

This is my current build for my fire/ice tank. I have not yet slotted an Alpha on him yet. I am wondering which would be better.

Is the higher resistance going to make a noticeable difference?

I dont think higher defense would since he doenst have any to begin with.

Ice melee sucks for damage anyways and would the increase over ED make any difference?

Same basic questions for the stone/fire...

crickets? No one can offer any advice on which alpha slot would be better to pursue over another?

me personally...i say spiritual on both. you have some very nice defense numbers on the FA/IM but your recharge is downright depressing for FA. but i guess a lot of the need for rech was just for sake of healing flames. whatever the case, if you think your survivability fine go for dmg. as for he stoner well...firstly id say rerun his build for i19, then see what kinda stuff you can come up with. but more rech is just always better especially when you run granite.

Same here...I'm running Spiritual on my Stone Tank, and Fire Armor really needs all the recharge help it can get for Healing Flames.

Im farming the liberate tv farm with a fa/ss brute at +2/with bosses. I rarely use the healing flames. I guess maybe +3 or 4 u may need to focus on healing. I wanted the +rech for burn and foot stomp more than the heal, personally. Build the /FA to best suit your situations and it should be durable enough. imo.
