Here is what I have: The entire Invulnerability set 6 slots for the toggles 2 slots for each auto |
Six slots in the toggles sounds like way too much. Three is fine at lower levels, and even at 50 I doubt I'd go more than four.
Can you be more specific? What powers do you have, exactly and what did you actually slot (Endurance Reduction, Defense, Resistance, etc.)?
Same with the Axe set, please specify what you actually slotted, what level, and also any other powers too (Stamina?).
I would also suggest checking out the tanker forums.

Few things:
-Welcome to the game, it gets easier.
-I'm curious to see how you perform.
-Conserve Power uses 9.75 end, with your two end red enhancements, it drops to 3.22. Most people don't slot end red in CP
-How are you on endurance usage? do you seem to run out often?
-Most people in the game prefer to use their tier 9 god-mode power (Unstoppable for your set) only when leveling. Once 50, they drop it because they can slot better.
-I never suggest a melee toon, especially a tank, to slot for Knock Back.
When you IO a toon, you want to ask yourself two fundamental questions. What am I trying to achieve, and what goals should I attain first. Since you are a tank, I would say you would want infinite sustainability while being able to take just about anything coming your way, with damage as a fringe benefit (otherwise roll a brute or scrapper). To this end we first want to Soft Cap your Smashing and Lethal defense, then work on soft capping your Energy and Negative defense. Thirdly, it would be swell if you could have permanent Dull Pain because of the immense amount of +HP it gives. This will require a decent amount of +Recharge, but not a metric ton. (55%ish global recharge with hasten 3 slotted)
This build is soft capped to all 6 major types of damage with one person in melee range of Invincibility.

This build might look expensive, but with time invested and planning, you can get this over several weeks if diligent or perhaps a month or two.
Your character does not have capped defense. Depending on your AT the cap is between 175% - 225%. Your defense is not teal in the combat window, it can go higher. STOP SAYING IT IS CAPPED! The correct term is Soft Cap.
I enjoy playing in Mids. I specialize in Melee Characters, other AT's usually bore me.

People in this forum are used to thinking in terms of IO sets, but I see you didn't mention IO sets. I'm going to assume that you are operating on SOs. My first tank was an Invul/Axe which I leveled up long before IO sets were added to the game.|

Your Toggle powers should only have 4 slots in them -- Temp Invuln and Unyielding should have 3 Resist and one Endurance Reduction. Invincibility should have 3 Defense, one EndRdx -- if you have spare slots later, you can add two To Hit Buff. The typed Resistance auto powers (Resist Physical, Energies and Elements) should only have three slots of Resist Damage. (Personally, I would skip Elements unless you have nothing else to take -- The Fighting Pool's Boxing, Tough and Weave are good additions to this build.) Dull Pain should have 5-6 slots of Heal and Recharge. Taunt only needs a Recharge, but can have Taunt Duration added if you have spare slots. On an SO build for Invul/Axe, I would take Unstoppable but only use a Recharge in the default slot.
As for Battle Axe, your standard slotting for the attacks should be 1 Acc, 3 Dam, 1 EndRdx, 1 Rech. Axe really needs all of that. Axe really benefits from IO sets, which can give you higher enhancement of all of those elements of Accuracy, Endurance Reduction and Recharge.
Make sure you have 3 EndMod in Stamina, as Invul/Axe is pretty demanding on Endurance. I would suggest 3 Heal in Health. The Regen helps you recover faster.

Yeah, unless you like chasing the baddies around, don't slot for KB on a melee toon. As a tank (especially powersets that increase performance with the amount of enemies in your area) you want to keep your enemies in tight not scattered everywhere.
