Old Player - New Tanker.. Build?
Well... a couple updates:
Been having fun doing Incarnate Trials... thus far I have my Alpha, Interface, Judgement and Destiny unlocked, and Lore is about 50% unlocked... This is the first toon I have ever done incarnates with, since I've been gone from the game for so long. So I'm still learning as I go.
1- I have Cardiac (Partial Core Revamp + level shift) slotted in Alpha, but as a noob to the incarnate system, I realized that it's not the best fit for me, and I am in the process of crafting Musculature to replace it. I guess I can always switch between the 2 should the situation present itself... But, I don't really need the end-redux, since I have Physical Perfection (slotted with Performance Shifter) and Stamina, and end-redux from sets, and Numina's +R/+R... And I don't really need the extra Resist, because of the rest of my build and set bonuses.
2- I have a Total Radial Conversion Reactive (75% chance for fire dmg) in Interface. I plan to keep this, and work on upgrading it... I am finding this is a very nice ability, especially when paired with the chance for Psi damage from Perfect Zinger slotted in Taunt.
3- I have a Void Judgement slotted in the Judgement slot. (common) I plan to keep this, and work on upgrading it... the extra DMG is a very nice compliment to my tank's already very high survivability, especially in large mobs, like the ITF.
4- I don't have anything slotted in Destiny yet... but I was thinking to go with Ageless... Open for any suggestions here, for something that would compliment my build, AND be team friendly.
5- My Lore slot is about 50% unlocked... Not 100% sure what I want to go with, but I'm leaning towards Cimerorans, for no other reason, than from what I've read, the damage is fairly high, AND based on how much I LOVE the ITF, and that I commonly wear a Praefectus Castrorum tribute costume, it seems like it's a good fit for me.
I finally got to take my tank on the STF last night also... (I was on one about a week ago, but we failed, because all 4 of the AVs aggroed and no matter what we did, they wouldn't reset, AND the only debuffer we had (Rad) DC'd in the middle of the fight, and couldn't rejoin because his internet connection went down...) So, I had a date with Recluse... And I met him last night... the team was OK, several people that had never done the STF before, and weren't following instructions... so we had 3 AVs pulled at once, and I was able to occupy Scirocco & Ghost Widow while the team killed Scorpion, then broke off Ghost Widow and I continued to occupy Scirocco. When we got to Recluse, me being the only tank on the team, went and got his attention, and managed to keep him occupied by myself (with the help of a few green inspirations)... he took me near death once, when he end-drained me and my toggles dropped, but I was able to mitigate it and recover. All in all, I didn't die once during the task force, and we finished in under 1hr 30min with no defeats... I felt very satisfied with my tank at that point. (I also got on an Underground Trial team last night for the first time, and we completed that trial... I died twice, but I think that's more than acceptable for that trial... it was HARD.)
All in all.... I think that all my other toons may be collecting dust for a while, because anytime I log onto CoH, and see my list of characters sitting there, I just can't bring myself to pick anyone but good old Captain Slap

I'm getting close to another level-shift (incarnate shift)... I'd have it already, if I wasn't working on a second Alpha ability... oh well!
err, was broke...
one Hectatomb drop later and i've now got a decent amount of funds to deal with, so I started shopping!
