Hey folks! I recently began playing after a 7 year exodus. No more WoW! I currently have about 6 bil to throw into my new 50 shield/ss tanker. I have mids and would like your help with a great build. I would like to keep haste/tough/weave/super jump as well as combat jump and the energy epic pool set for the regen. I am open to suggestions. I have around 6 bil or so to spend. Defenses are a big factor here! So please offer your advice and post your builds!

Thanks a bunch!

The hard things I can do--- The impossible just take a little bit longer.

If numbers are so much more important than a teammate who is fun to play with, forget about the game altogether and go play with a calculator instead. -Claws and Effect-

Thanks for your replies! Auction House is a thing of beauty =). In every game I have played I have been pretty good at saving my pennies, buying low, selling high, and a few lucky recipe drops have helped I also had a decent stash saved up before i quit.

Thanks again!

Here is a sample I threw together that hits +59% Defense (softcap for new mobs with 64% to-hit, example: iTrial mobs), sub-6 second FS, hasten downtime sub-10 seconds (with Spiritual Core).

Even without the +3 Defense PvP IO (ridiculously expensive), it would be effective.

It's not perfect and not optimized (I just made it in like 2 minutes), but it could give you some ideas to work with.

Who told you that? Shield/ SS is a great combo! It's too late for me now or else I would throw a build together. But anyhoot, to get a build into Mids with just the data chunk, highlight the entire thing and mouse-click Copy. Then in Mids, choose Import.

Honestly, I don't think slotting for the Incarnate soft-cap is worth the effort considering how plentiful defense buffs are on Incarnate teams.

Here's a build with around 50% defense to all positions plus plenty of recharge, regen, etc.

It's not perfect and not optimized (I just made it in like 2 minutes), but it could give you some ideas to work with.

Finduilas' build is very well done, as is pretty much all her builds. I'm too tired at the moment to pull together one from scratch myself, and I doubt it would be much different than hers. (I'll admit my SD/SS tank takes a much different approach, but I like his build for the left field approach I took. )

Should you choose to do so you could garnish a tiny bit more Resistance if you swapped out the LotG Def. IO in CJ for the Shield Wall +Res IO.

When I'm more awake, and actually have time to look at things again I'll try and put a few more of my two cents worth out. I may even throw my unconventional SD/SS build to the wolves... I mean forumites.

Throwing darts at the board to see if something sticks.....

Come show your resolve and fight my brute!

Your friend is wrong... very wrong...

The hard things I can do--- The impossible just take a little bit longer.

If numbers are so much more important than a teammate who is fun to play with, forget about the game altogether and go play with a calculator instead. -Claws and Effect-

Well, I'm no 'sir', but thank you.

I plan to do the Tanker Tuesday on Defiant this afternoon, but I'll probably be on Justice later tonight if you want to chat in-game.

By the way, there's nothing at all odd with Shield/SS, it's a very common--and very effective--combo. The only thing that's a bit of a pain about it is that you'll have two powers you want to "perma", Active Defense and Rage. But many, many players have managed to get around that little obstacle.

If you do not know how to do this I will tell ya just hit ctrl and click the power.

Defenses are a big factor here! So please offer your advice and post your builds!

Thanks a bunch!

This is an close approximation of the build that I use.

It has got capped DDR, high recharge, very good damage and resistance to most debuffs. I hate being debuffed so my aim with this build was to have as much resistance to this as possible. I've also added Aid Self, this allows me to heal appoximately a third of my health every 7 seconds or so - with the high defense and use of -interrupt this can be used in the middle of x8 combat without issue.

He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.

Posted my build that I'm using ingame atm, forgot to check if it included my alpha and all my incarnate powers I have on him ingame (not sure if you wanted those included in the build or not). Even without my alpha and incarnates I still really enjoyed the build and his defense debuff resistance being capped helps alot!

If, and this is a big if, you're willing to spend the enormous cost for the two PVP IO's here's how I would tweak Finduilas' build.

You can get more max HP than that, do you have the accolades yet? If you do you should be in the neighborhood of 3k.

Recovery could be a little better, but I can't look at a data chunk at work to see if there's any advice I can give you.

Oh, I don't know if anyone has mentioned it or not, but when your positional defenses are soft-capped, your typed defenses are irrelevant. The game uses whichever applicable defense is highest and ignores the rest of them. So, if you are attacked by a Smashing/Melee attack, the game is always going to use your melee defense and will ignore the smashing defense.

Psi defense is somewhat relevant, because there are several psi attacks that don't have a position to them, they are just psi.

Probably out of your price range, but something to work towards.

Requires Accolades and T4 Cardiac Incarnate Alpha.
