So, I've started playing tankers again after a very long time of mainly brutes, and I've decided to try out Shield and Martial Arts. I think I've got a decent build laid out, but any advice on it would be very much appreciated.

Ok why burnout? I would of gone with physical perfection? MA has a fast recharge as it is. Also I would of taken cobra strike over crane kick, Crane kick is a KB. With most tanks ( Shield included) the more enemy's near by the better def u have with them. I would also of fit in focus chi which is the MA's build up which will give you +dam+ to hit with it. Also turn off OwtS and toggle tough to get your accurte numbers. I am not a big fan of the purple sets, yes the do help with recharge but it dose not have enough end reduce for me.

Hmm, well, needs work IMO.

First of all, Grant Cover is worth taking for the Def debuff resistance if nothing else. I'd drop Burnout for it. I'd also take Physical Perfection over LBE, but that's more personal preference.

I agree with LSK about dropping Crane Kick and picking up Cobra Strike and/or Focus Chi. I'd take both, but I'm not sure what you'd be willing to give up. Keep in mind that one advantage of Focus Chi is that you can slot a full set of Gaussian's in it, which provides a 2.5% defense bonus to all positions.

As for slotting, some of your key SD powers are underslotted, and most of your attacks would do fine with five slots instead of six.

Specifically:

Deflection and Battle Agility are underslotted for end reduction. I'd go with four LotG in each, Def, Def/End, Def/End/Rchg and +Recharge. In addition, Deflection needs to be slotted for resistance to increase your S/L resistance. I'd add two level 50 resistance commons.

Pull a slot each from TK, SK, and CAK, they're currently well past the ED cut-off for damage.

True Grit is underslotted for Heal, which means you're not getting the +HP you could. Drop at least one of the Imperv Armor slots and add another Numina. (If you're trying for Psi resistance, don't bother, you're not going to accrue enough to make a difference.)

Against All Odds doesn't need that much end reduction. Pull one of the slots and use it elsewhere.

As I mentioned, you should get Grant Cover. I'd suggest putting a LotG +Recharge in it, and since that'll put you at the rule of 5 for that bonus, replace the +Recharge in Phalanx Fighting with a Kismet +Acc.

Tough is underslotted for both end reduction and resistance. I'd pull two slots from OwtS, drop the Steadfast Def/End, and add three slots of Imperv Armor or Aegis. (I'd recommend Res, Res/End and Res/End/Rchg) Another option is to move the Steadfast +Def to OwtS and 4-slot Tough with Imperv Armor or something similar.

Weave is underslotted for defense. Add another slot for a LotG Defense.

Super Speed is overslotted, I'd drop one if not two slots. Personally, I like to put my Stealth IOs in something else, like Sprint, and use a Winter's Gift in my travel power, but your call.

Eagle's Claw is not a good choice for the MotT set. To get the most benefit from the +Res proc, you want to put it in a fast charging attack like your T1 or T2. I'd swap that slotting with TK or SK, and drop a slot as well since six-slotted it's well past the ED cut-off for recharge and damage.

Health and Stamina are underslotted. I'd grab some slots from other powers to a least two or three slot them.

Here's the sort of thing I'd do with your build. I dropped Burnout and LBE for Grant Cover and Focus Chi, and moved things around a bit. I also swapped out Crane Kick for Cobra Strike. Your posted build wasn't actually soft-capped without Storm Kick's +Def, and this one is. It also has higher HP, S/L resistance, and recharge.

My Characters

Knight Court--A CoH Story Complete 2/3/2012

 

Posted

Shield/MA is really a sleeper. But it's a great toon that great defenses really easily.

Not sure Musculature is the way to go honestly. Shield is rather end intensive and Conserve Power alone won't shore that issue up.
With the HP increase from True Grit, I personally like Vigor quite a bit on Shield (but Cardiac is a good pick). Ageless can be a good Destiny pick (and will solve end issues) but that leaves you with no heal and it can be dicey despite the high HP potential. Vigor will also boost (I think) the heal from Rebirth so that can be a plus.

I personally don't believe Hasten is a prerequisite for MA as the attacks are varied and quick recharging but ymmv.

Here's my build for the combo. High focus on HP and Regen with decent damage bonus. Ice Mastery can be any patron with 2 ranged attacks (so Earth and Fire) to maintain the crazy bonii those 6 slots provide: 28% regen and 5.25 HP each. Warrior Provocation can be taken at 18 and Grant Cover at 44.

I appreciate the assistance on this, I had updated my build some since I posted it, but I kept running into the same issue when trying to match up to the suggested builds defense wise. Also, I had originally put burnout into the build as a way to get a 4 minute One with the Shield, but I suppose I don't realistically need that ever. Thanks for the help!

When you say sleeper, do you mean that the toon is boring to play? Too easy?
