- Customized Weapons are allowed. This includes shields, blades, guns, etc. Players are asked to only draw weapons however and not utilize power animations.
- Powers Usage is limited. We understand that there are a variety of power customization options, however powers can affect other players unintentionally and can also diffuse attention away from other character components. Players should limit their use of powers and utilize them for Aura purposes. Examples include, but are not limited to Fire Shield, Rock Armor, Personal Force Field, and Invincibility.
- Be very careful in your power choices and avoid overusing multiple powers. Powers should not hide your costume.
- Powers that affect other players or have a large radius may result in disqualification from the event. Examples include, but are not limited to Steamy Mist, Lightning Field, Hot feet, and Shadowfall.

I think my lvl 51 WP/Tank has been around for some time now before Freedom, so ya not that new. Street Justice now thats new.
-
Quote:You for got to mention Zwillinger kept announcing in his dev voice ( IE the red one) that this is a tanker event in KR 1.Ah thank you everyone who helped out in both KR1 & KR2 there were a lot of tanks there, even the devs were sending tells about how impressed they were with the large crowds that showed for both instances.
Zwillinger, Avatea & TheNet were a big help in making it a fun event for everyone, we can't thank them enough, and I'll be thanking everyone else who helped run events and donate prize money tomorrow--my head is slightly burning from all the /tells. ;]
It seemed like TankHQ almost doubled in active members tonight, that should make regular TT's going forward even more fun!
I'll look through all the great screenies and post more tomorrow, thanks again everyone! -
OK that was lots of fun here are a few photos of the event

Quote:I agree with this tactic, I have a WP/SS tank and it can hold aggro really well with my attack chain. In my RTTC I do have 1 lvl 50 taunt IO and I get lot of aggro just from that.There are two main things that are a must for holding aggro on a WP Tank:
1) Taunt - If you don't have this power, your threat generation is severely crippled. I would suggest not just taking Taunt, but having it well slotted. (5-6 slots, both Mocking Beratement and Perfect Zinger a great choices.)
2) Playstyle - This is the biggest change, especially after coming from an Ice Tank. Instead of being very laid back about threat, you need to be very proactive in your efforts to generate it. This means using Taunt frequently and switching up which targets you're using it on. Spamming Taunt on the same target(s) over and over is counter productive when you're trying to hold aggro on a large spawn. It also helps if you can learn when it's safe to move to the next spawn while your group mops up the current one, this will give you time to spread Taunt on enemies.
This may sound a bit daunting, but I found it to be a very positive experience. Learning how to hold aggro on a WP Tanker will make you that much better at holding aggro on all your Tankers.
I can give you more information if you'd like, but I decided against hitting you with a wall of text right off the bat. :P -
I have tanked the posi TF with all sorts of builds. There really not 1 better then the other. Yes High def is good if u have your S/L/EN/Neg up there then it will be harder for u to be hit, or like Infini said about SR/SD tanks which is positional def with Melee, range, and AoE def. Just make sure u bring purples.

There is a few good suggestions, but none of the really works well with my play style, IE some do not have fly which I like in my build, and takeing taunt way to late in build, when I do exemp down to do certain TFs/SFs and other thing where I like to get taunt either at or before lvl 20. Just a few examples.
-
I would also add some more KB protection, and on mine i went with typed def not positional. Mako is nice for postional, but Kinetic Combat is for type def. And it will open up some slots. In your healing flame where u have your numa, the proc u have in there for numa ++ only activates when u use it. I would put that in health this way u will always get that bonus. You also have to look at if u want type def or positional and by looking at your build you are trying to do both. The way the game works it only takes the higher of the 2. If you go targeted u have to remember that the ones to concentrate on is S/L/Neg/EN def. I see a few things i would change 1 add hasten in there. 2 You really do not need temp protection. 3 add some more KB protection. 4 decide if you are going positional, or type def. 5 add end red to maneuvers. 6 like said before switch out the numa in HF with 5 doctored wounds.

Actually they have although it is rare I have seen them get KBed. I have a total of 6 times on my WP tank getting KBed, 4 of those times was when we did a zerg.
