Invulnerablity/Dark Melee Tank build

Again with another alt, only bad thing abouit this game is I make to many toons, anyway my latest concept is a inv/dark Tank, I rolled up a build with generic IO's since I can use em now but I wanna make sure I did it right, I wasnt sure about my epic pool and I wanted to fit more of the Leadership pool in but I didnt have room, any advice and critiques would be most welcome, Im not the best at making builds.

This build im about to post uses HamiOs because they are still very useful when you have no access to Set IOs

They will be expensive on WW so lots of Hami raids will be needed and STFs for the synthetic versions to finish your build off.

In the meanwhile, your build will be fine - I would just recommend switching into body for physical perfection and let the team do the AoE damage.

basically a HamiO is like an SO but with multiple enhancements eg 33% acc/dam

STF/RSF = statesman task force/recluse strike force

Both give a synthetic hamidon enhancements which are exactly the same and normal HOs but different sources.

Nope. The market is cross-server.
And you're on one of the most populous servers in the game.

Okay a couple critiques of your build as is.

1. WAY overslotted for Acc. 2 common Acc IOs should be MORE than fine. Convert the extra Acc IO to a Damage IO. The damage from most of your attacks is pitiful and simply prolongs fights to the point where someone is eventually going to get lucky and kill you.
2. You have way too much passive endurance reduction (Resist/Defense toggles) and pretty much NO active endurance reduction (attacks). This will drain you dry faster than you can say "Faceplant" in anything other than the lightest fighting. You expend more energy attacking than you do from your armors.
3. Pull the Accs out of Taunt. It's auto-hit outside of PVP.

Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.

Just some thoughts on the latest rework.

You can swap out one of the recharge reductions on Taunt for Range increase. And take some slots from there as well. Honestly, if you need Taunt more then every 5 secs its a problem (especially with Gauntlet and Invicibility)

Slot a Taunt in Dark Consumption and soul drain. This will give you two AoE taunts to use.

Yuu dont need to slot accuracy at all. When surrounded by 5 enemies, your invicibility gives you +15% to hit. Sould drain also gives you a +to hit buf as well. Slotting accuracy at all in this build just isnt needed.

Midnight Grasp instead of fireball..really..please


Other then that, it's a solid build.

since this thread seems to be active can someone check out this thread http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=281605 and give me some advice?

Thanks

I'll give you the gauntlet argument on fact, but not theory (I own up to being confused and misinformed)

I stand on not needing to slot any more recharge in taunt then I did. Hasten drops the recharge to 6 seconds. The fastest power in the power set is 2 seconds to activate. Taunt will still be there when needed.

In addition, agro management will be easier (and provide less of a need for taunts) because of the taunt slotted in the AoE -debuff- powers. It just makes sure nothing wants to break off to go after the squishies.

I disagree and will keep doing so.

+to hit is the more important number as Accuracy is a modifier.

PargonWiki (again) sums it up best.. read it there..
http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Attack_Mechanics

...but as a direct quote:

"A ToHit bonus of X gives you a better increase to your chance of hitting than an Accuracy bonus of X will. This is especially true against hard-to-hit targets."

This means that ACC does even less against Mobs with a high DEF value.

Think of this.. 75% base to hit, the Mob is 2 levels higher, so basetohit goes down to %57...the Mob also has 20% defense against your damage type, so toHit now goes down to %37....this is the point where ACC gets applied. 2 ACC IO's would make the toHit roll 60%

ACC(toHit-Def)

Accuracy is only a modifier...a good one.. but given the choice..always choose +toHit

So in the long run, powers, inspirations, and et all that provide +tohit are more valuable then the ACC IO.

..and there are alot of these...
--Call to Justices
--Geas of the Kind Ones
--Ranger/Elite Ranger Day Job
--Energy Mastery: Focused Accuracy (which would be all the accuracy this build would need)
--Leadership:Tactics
--Yellow INsps.

Any of these would more then likely be enough security on its own.. of course so would slotting extra +toHit IO's in the two powers that provide it in this build. Combine that with a single ACC IO in each power..and you'd never miss at all.. But..it would be wasted space..and IMHO, the extra recharge or endurance reduction will probably be more valuable.

Then there's the assumption this toon is teaming and thus can rely on yet another form of undependable buff.

The toon is a TANK... he should be teaming..and often. Otherwise...he wouldnt need a taunt power at all..eh?

If this build is mainly for solo play, then the same build as a Scrapper or Brute would be a better choice for both game speed and enjoyment.
