I am a big fan of Nerve on my WP. Defense and Taunt were very nice and I built around the lower Accuracy since Nerve would make up for so much.
Outside of Sm/Le the extra resists from Resilient are not much and SoW will cap your SM/LE without it anyway. The extra stun duration could be nice for StJ though.
Agility has the the Recharge/Defense combo, which is nice. WP doesn't get anything from Recharge, but the attack set may like it. +End Mod is OK, but WP usually doesn't have end issues, so it may not be needed.
I don't think I'd go Vigor. WP seeks other mitigation to stack with its already high regen, a tiny bit more regen is much less useful and if the Accuracy is desired, Nerve is a better choice all around I think.
Why Blasters? Empathy Sucks.
So, you want to be Mental?
What the hell? Let's buff defenders.
Tactics are for those who do not have a big enough hammer. Wisdom is knowing how big your hammer is.
I hadn't considered Nerve, but some support for Rise to the Challenge's relatively weak taunt effect could be useful, and Accuracy and Defense is a nice combo.
Thanks, I'll certainly add that to consideration.
This.

My friend's WP/StJ Tank is ready to be Alpha slotted and I'm not sure where to advise him to go. I'm guessing Resilient, but I can see logic behind Agility and Vigor as well. So what's the current thinking amongst the Tanker cognoscenti?
