Sometimes I like to put a second Steadfast Protection in for the recovery bonus if I can spare a slot. It's not much, but I'm already putting the Res/Def in there so I might as well get a bonus on a power that becomes fairly redundant after Temp Invuln, Unyielding, and Tough are taken into account.

If you decide to go for the T2 Cardiac Alpha, you won't even need the second slot in RPD, just put the Steadfast +Def in the base slot. |

Resist Physical Defense: 2-3 slots at most, Steadfast Res/Def and a couple generics. Temp Invulnerability: 4 slots of Reactive Armor. Dull Pain: 5 slots of Doctored Wounds. Unyielding: 4 slots Reactive Armor Resist Energies: 2 generic resist IOs (can take this later in the build) Invincibility: 6 slots, 4 Luck of the Gambler, and 2 Rectified Reticle. Resist Elements: 2 generic resists (this can be pushed back or possible skipped altogether) Tough Hide: 3 LotG Unstoppable: I wouldn't take this at all. SS attacks: All single target attacks should get 4 Kinetic Combat and maybe a Nucleolus Hami O. I'd skip Punch and Hand Clap. Hurl: 6 slots Thunderstrike or 3 Thunderstrike/3 Devastation Taunt: 4 slots Mocking Beratement Foot Stomp: 6 slotted 4 Eradication, 1 Scirocco's Dervish Dam/Rech, Force Feedback Chance for +Recharge Tough: 4 Reactive Armor Weave: 3-4 LotG Air Superiority slotted the same as your ST attacks. |
I thought you get the real bonuses after 6 slotting.

Here's a list of how your set bonuses will show up, depending on your slotting: http://wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/Invention_Origin_Enhancement_Sets
This won't show the current numbers in game, but when you'll get bonuses as you add in more of the set pieces.
You should get some decent/good bonuses from what Claws suggested.
I will mention that the Kinetic Combats typically aren't cheap to purchase, and you can start with 4 slotting Smashing Haymaker until you can afford the KinCombats.

Not all the good bonuses are at 6 slots. In fact, most typed defense bonuses come at 3 and 4 slots in a power (not sure why)
It's only positional defense bonuses that usually come at 6 slots. It's a common misconception that you have to 6 slot a set to get good bonuses. Quite frequently the best bonus a set has to offer only requires 4.
Without being able to throw a build together right now, you SHOULD be softcapped to defense for all damage types but possibly Fire, Cold, and Psi (I can pretty much guarantee you won't be softcapped to Psi on an Invuln)

Thanks to you and everyone that's posted. There's no question that since I came back my once mighty tank has fallen behind. The game has changed, generally for the better in my opinion, but it has become more complicated.
It's thanks to people like you that people like me, who can only devote a limited amount of time to figuring all this out (much less implementing it) can at least catch up to the point of holding our own when in a decent team.
My Tanker shall be great once more!
Thanks all.
