My retired Dark/Fire Tank's build

I'd say don't do it, but... You're Dechs Kaison. You'll find a way for it to be less terrible (but still incredibly entertaining, thus negating the terrible-ness) than I did as a Scrapper before Tanks got MA. :/

Hmmm, great minds think alike.

I rolled a Dark/MA as well.

He's languishing at the moment, but I'll get around to playing him eventually.

I figured out a build that wil soft cap everything. And I do mean EVERYTHING.

Oh, I finished my DA/MA already. He is incredible.

I pretty much have the same defense numbers as before, but found room for another 150 HP and a lot more recharge. He now has knockdown and stuns to stack with OG. He loses a little bit of AoE damage, but the ST damage actually goes up. And he's endurance sustainable.

Is the endurance sustainability new to you? I looked at your build when ya first posted it. Saw how tight it was, made it to suit me because I considered that if you tped about often enough with that slotting the end lost over several tps can be substantial, even mob to mob tping, no rest for the wicked playstyle should take its toll.


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.

For a tank, yes. If you've seen my Dark Armor Sucks video, you'll see that he does burn through endurance pretty quickly. I know how to control that, though, so it never becomes a problem. Mostly that's because rotating in Taunt, a zero endurance time sink, is enough to always keep fighting. I don't use teleport in the manner you're describing, though. It's mostly used as over world travel, or "get me out of caltrops."

The Dark Armor/Martial Arts tank actually burns endurance just as fast as my Dark/Fire, but he had room to get Conserve Power. I burn until I'm at about 15% endurance, pop it, and I'm back to full in no time.

I do have a brute that's built with the go go go play style in mind, and despite all my efforts, I can't burn his endurance out.
