Build Advice

Hi,

I recently respected my Tank and was happy with the build until I started to fight carnies and found out that I was a squishy. I need to advise on what to fix.

Thanks,

HUm huh ok wow u need way more def in s/l/en/neg for starters. The miracle+rec in DP is not doing u any good till u activate that power. Having a full set of steadfast in res elements is not a good idea, having fly 2 slotted is not a good idea. You are over slotted in physical perfection. Most ppl usually go 2 or 3 slotted there. U do not need the guassan set in rage use the rect for that it will help more. The KB prot in the steadfast set is not really needed in a Inv tank since u are already have 10 KB prot. and very little can go past that. Foccuse acc is an end hog i would switch that out with something else completely. These are some of the things ive noticed.

1. STOP CHASING PSI RESIST! You, quite simply, CANNOT accrue enough of it to make it worthwhile on an Invuln tanker.
2. Build to bolster your typed defenses. In doing so, you will also bolster your positional defenses, to the point where you'll be better defended through Ranged and AoE
3. Optimal resist slotting for Invunl is based on whether or not the slotting is active or passive.
   1. Active Resist (Temp Invuln, Unyielding, Tough (from Fighting Pool)): 4-slots of Reactive Armor
      1. Resist
      2. Resist/Endurance
      3. Resist/Recharge
      4. Resist/Endurance/Recharge
   2. Passive Resist (Resist Physical Damage, Resist Energies, Resist Elements): 3-slots of Aegis
      1. Resist
      2. Resist/Endurance
      3. Resist/Recharge
4. If you're tossing in the two 3% Defense Uniques (Steadfast Protection and Gladiator's Armor), allot them early on in the build to prevent exemping out of it.
5. Uniques like the Miracle + Recovery don't belong in click powers like Dull Pain. They're only active when the power is. It, like the Numina +Regen/+Recovery, belong in Health or Physical Perfection. Preferably Health, as you can't exemp out of health.
6. You're built with too many attacks. Even with no recharge added in, you're running more slotted attacks than you can maintain in continuous chain. Worse, many of them are underslotted. Foot Stomp has "meh" damage enhancement and HORRIFIC Accuracy. Even level stuff, you'll hit. But beyond +1 or +2 you're going to have a hell of a time hitting bosses and LTs. If you're fighting Rikti Drones, they're weak to AoE damage.
7. Built right, you really shouldn't need Focused Accuracy because Rage will be perma-plus.
8. If you're going to build for defense, you don't need Unstoppable. You'll be ridiculously durable without it, and you won't have the "Just kill me now" crash to worry about.
9. Taunt is underslotted. On a team you're going to have trouble holding aggro if your teammates output a lot of damage.
10. Concept or not, Leaping is a better option for your tank. Combat Jumping adds to your defenses and doesn't stop powers like Foot Stomp from working the way something like Fly/Hover do.
11. You've slotted for additional KB protection in Resist Elements. Uh. Why? Most of the things in the top-end game that CAN bounce you around are going to do so because they're sporting CRAZY levels of KB/Repel that you simply can't build high enough for. Your native KB/Repel resistance in Unyielding will more than cover you for 99.999% of the game.

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

Reactive Armor:
3 Slots: Boosts E/N (which you have a decent starting amount of) and Ranged
4 Slots: Boosts S/L (which you have a decent starting amount of) and Melee

Impervium boosts Psi defense, which you have NONE by default. And at most, can stack up to just under 10% on Impervium set bonuses alone.

The build I posted has 25% Ranged and 22% AoE defense by itself, it only has 16% Psi defense. But it's MUCH more durable across a broader swath of enemy types due to being capped to all typed defense save psi.

Even if you convert those sets of Reactive to Impervium.

1: Your S/L will go down but you'll still be normally soft-capped (45%) (not Incarnate soft-capped).
2: Your E/N will drop below normal soft-cap.
3: Your Psi defense will only climb to 22%. Since Ranged and AoE are ALREADY above this, your net gain is negative due to the E/N defense lost.

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

Here is a build using most of your same power choices.

I added Tough, Weave, and Combat Jumping.

I dropped Hurl and kept LBE...since I figured LBE was for concept...and you would only need one ranged attack.

I dropped Unstoppable, Focused Accuracy, and Air Superiority.

Reasons: The Unstoppable crash should speak for itself. Focused Acc...while great for the -tohit res...Rage and Invinc will be good enough for those situations. Air Superiority since it's a redundant attack.
