Has flight, hasten, afterburner, softcapped to s/l/n/e, with a little extra in case of def debuff, regens close to 58 hp/s.
And thats before picking any incarnate abilities.
Add in rebirth, vigor, and melee hybrid, and I dare you to try and die.

Hmm, my build focuses more on resists, whereas yours concentrates more on defense.
So, overall which contributes more to survivability?

rule of thumb is that every point of def counts as 2 points as res

I think somene (Arcanaville maybe?) Did a full break down of the dfferences. I think of myself as a serious casual player though, and don't really know all the mechanics.|

Basically, if an attack hits for 100 points of damage, and you have 50% res, you'll take 50 points of damage. But if you are at the softcap, 45% def, the attck only has a 5% chance to hit you at all, so there's a chance (a big one) that you will take no damage. If you do get hit, you still have your resistances backing you up.
Layers of Mitigation are always best.
Having Soft Capped defense is your first priority. That will reduce the damage by 95%. Then, having good resistance will drop that 5% that comes through your defense to an even smaller number. Then you need to heal back that <5% damage before then next hit comes back with a heal or passive regen.
(Which is why I insist that a well built Elec tank can out tank anything 
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.
I've leveled my brute to level 39, and typically don't think about IO sets until they're close to max level. What I'm looking for is a maximum survivability build good for TFs and trials.
I scavenged part of this build from another post - but changed a couple of things ( like the addition of flight and hasten, which I like to have on most of my toons ). Any help would be appreciated.
