I'd love to get some feedback on the Willpower/Street Justice tank I'm working on. This build is intended for tanking any and all I-Trials.

Major Goals I've accomplished:
-High Defense to all damage types except Psi (moderate Psi def is Ok, since I've got Psi resist to back it up)
-High Smash/Lethal resistance
-High max HP and Regen rate
-Enough recovery to run lots of toggles, including Darkest Night

Incarnate Abilities planned (not turned on in the build):
-Vigor Alpha (woo Max HP and Regen, plus shores up Acc and End slotting)
-Paralytic Interface (Damage debuffing, along with Darkest Night)
-Lore/Destiny/Judgement still undecided (but probably Barrier or Clarion at least for supporting the league)

Other thoughts and concerns:
-Left out the ForceFeedback +Rech proc, as neither Willpower nor Street Justice is very Recharge hungry
-Left out Kismet +Acc proc, I'm hoping Vigor's +Acc will make me accurate enough
-Not sure if Sweeping Cross is really needed, but it's getting me good set bonuses
-Skipped Heavy Blow - only 3 combo building attacks are really needed, right?
-Hover is for added Defense and for air-tanking certain AVs to abuse their cones
-This is a "no purples" build except for the Glad 3%, which I already got by abusing converters. Is there any significant way adding any purple sets could improve this?
-Initial Strike and Rib Cracker feel a bit underslotted, but this isn't a DPS build, so...
-Two Performance Shifter procs - worth it?
-I wanted Dark Obliteration, but ended up putting Maneuvers instead for MOAR DEFENSE - am I missing out significantly by not having a nice big AoE attack?
-I will probably throw on some Enhancement Boosters to a few of the IOs here and there to help with underslotted powers. Any suggestions on specific places to do that for the best bang/buck ratio?

Would still like some input on this if anyone has the time and interest. BUMP.

Is that six LotG global recharges I see? You can only get the same set bonus five times, right? I'd drop one of those.

EDIT: Nevermind, one is a Def/End.

Scrapper Jack (SJ/WP Brute), Sky Commando (WP/SJ Tanker), Curveball (Rad/DP Defender), and a bunch more.

This is an overall decent build, good for a little of everything. It seems to me that you've traded off a large amounts of resistance across the board for small amounts of defense increase.

I played with this a little, (didn't save the build, sorry) but here's what I had:

Your DEF My DEF
S/L Def 48.6% 47.3%
Fire/Cold 48.2% 45.2%
Eng/Neg 53.2% 47.7%
Psi 35% 31.5%
Melee 35.3% 31.8%
Ranged 31.8% 24.3%
AoE 27.4% 23.1%

Clearly your Defense is beter, but not by a whole lot.


Your RES My RES
S/L Res 68.1% 81.1%
Fire/cold/eng/neg 10.4% 21.5%
Toxic 12.3% 24%
Psi 43.6% 55.3%

Your build had about 200 more HP than mine, and slightly better managed End/regen but not to a significant degree. Normally I wouldn't suggest it, but perhaps you should try to work SoW into the build to make up for the loss in RES. Dropping one power for a 30% Increase to RES might be your best bet, or just rework your build and shave a little DEF off for the bigger increase to RES.

If I think of it, I'll post that build later tonight.
