I made that some time ago on the tanker forums for someone looking for a "superman" build. IIRC it is softcap to S/L/E/N/F/C with only 1 in Inv range and has Super speed, hasten, fly, and laser beam eyes.
Call_me_awesome (I think) has a very good Inv/ Tanker guide about making it as tough as possible, it's in the Tanker forums and it's current.

He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.
Hi everyone,
I've moved this thread to the Tanker forum. Additionally, I've removed some non-constructive posts that were not adding to the conversation. Please keep this thread on-topic, calm, and constructive.
Thank you,

Is the Titanium Coating set not worth it on this build?
Quote:
In a word, no. It takes six slots of TC to get a 1.25% S/L def bonus, which you can get in four slots with Reactive Armor, plus an additional 1.25% E/NE def bonus with the same four RA slots.|

Thanks to inherent fitness and the new no-prereq travel power builds are a lot more open than they used to be. My soft cap guide is pre-issue 20 but it applies just as well now as it did then on the question of what you need to build a nigh-unkillable tanker.|

The gist of it is that you want to hard cap your S/L resistance at 90% (Tough will get you there along with RPD, Unyielding & Temp. Invulnerability) and you want to push your S/L defenses to the 45% soft cap and your E/N defenses as high as you can, preferably to 45% as well.
There's quite a bit of flexibility but my guide gives you a basic "shopping list" of IO's and powers you'll want; beyond that you'll "season to taste" with additional power selections and slotting choices.
On my Inv/Stone tank, CMA, I've created two builds, one for level 35+ content and one for exemplar below 30. The exemp build maintains nearly a 45% S/L/E/N soft cap down to level 20.
For a more detailed list of what you want and how to slot it check out my guides listed in my signature.

If you like to exemplar a lot, I would suggest using the Store Bought Reactive Armor sets, since they begin at 15 and keep their set bonuses up through their level ranges, if you have the paragon points for them.

The upside to them is of course, they are easy to get and wonderfully friendly for exemping. One downside is you can't use Enhancement Boosters on them, so 40 is the highest they will get. Which is not that big a deal, since the difference between a level 40 and level 50 IO is not that large.

Also, since most players will slot four of them for the S/L defense bonus anyway, that gives more wiggle room on the enhancement levels. With standard slotting (all four of the resistance IOs) you can slot as low as 35 and still be at the ED cut-off, so you won't lose much resistance if you use 30s or or even 25s instead.
