    It's bad enough that brute SR got the power order change and the taunt aura on evasion without those changes being backtracked to scrapper SR.

    Any further such shenanigans will probably cause me to get banned from the forums for good. Course... they might like that.
    Well how often do the Devs listen to the players suggestions? People been asking for BS for the tank and we end up getting MA, me and a few friends been asking for the shoulder kitty for male toons for couple of years and still no kitty for male toons (look at my Avatar wouldn't a kitty be kwel for that toon?) also I asked for a stop sign for the BA and WM but still none, I know a few others been trying to get rad/rad tanks as well.

    Tanker Tuesday

    Ok before certain person forgets next Tuesday is Tanker Tuesday. http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=264485
    For those that do not know what Tanker Tuesday is all about, it is for all tanks of every lvl where we team up to do either reg mish/ radio/ TFs/ trials. Loads of fun.
  3. Right now we are all speculating what they will do but we really do not know what will happen till the actually put it into the game on the SR.
  4. There is 3 ways you can get them, I have a lvl 50 WP/Kin tank and the only influence I spent on it was crafting the recipes like stated above AE tickets in bronze, the A-merits, and finally the reg merits. I do lot of TFs to get the merits which can get me the merits, and I just purchase them instead of rolling and taking a chance. That is the problem with the AE tickets, the A-merits you have to wait to get another while you can purchase the whole set if you get enough merits, I have.

    True enough I personally see both sides on that, and I am thankful for the EMPs that I do have on my team who knows what they need to do. Like I said in my previous post the 2 Hamis I did this week and the deference in the out come of keeping my tank up.

    thanks I appreciate it but for the previous post I did I did not mean to emlpy anything I was trying to let you know the reason I put those in there. Plus I was half asleep when I posted it.

    I love SR on scrappers because I get plenty of spare slots, which can be used to get more damage bonuses and recharge bonuses. I can imagine the same for tankers, except instead of damage and recharge you can aim for the incarnate softcap, HP, and Regen.
    You need more then High HP, and not all tanks take rebirth. I do not have it on my tank plus if you are getting hit by the green mitos no kind of heals will heal u even rebirth, granted it will help u get regen but u have to remember it takes 5 min for it to recharge, I prefer getting RA from the emps.

    You can carry 20 inspies. Even if they're all larges, that's still only 20 or so fights. Yeah, a 10-15% resistance boost from a small orange would increase survivability, but not that much.



    So back to the days of "SB pls!".

    Nah. Pass.
    I been doing HAMI for a long time and been HAMI bait for most of that time either on my Fire/Fire tank, or my WP/SS tank and yes u do need help from your team mates IE if u have a couple of emps casting RA on you then u should not need the EoEs. Last night I was HAMI bait once again and had 3 emps on my team that kept RA on me and I maybe used 2 EoEs when they where busy, while Monday I used a lot of EoEs because the emps was not casting RA on all the time.

Thats about all i can see without the actual stats from mids
    First off I have the full set in taunt for the DEF, and second I have those numas for 2 reasons 1 HP, and 2 Regain but here is the data chunk u wanted I do not know why it did not post with it.

    I've been toying around with various ElA/ builds as I want a new tank and I think I've ended up with ElA/BA. The build has 32.5-33% defense to all 3 positions. However, it is a bit of an end hog, but energize, power sink, and cardiac alpha should cover it.

    You can find the build and similar ones here http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=264866. It is a thread I started earlier this week inquiring on capping s/l resists with ElA/.

    The first build posted by Auroxis is super expensive but ridiculously cool and it is what got me going on getting positional defense, which you should be able to get or close to it since both /BA and /DB have similar attack types.
    Ok the main reason I did not take Blinding Feint is because this will be 1 of my first DB toons and do not know much about it.

    It is like Unstoppable for inv tanks, and your last resort button. If u see it dropping and there is still baddies around move out of the way.
  20. Ok so what changes are for the SR for tanks it did not mention it at all.
  21. You really do not need the aegis psionic res on it but other then that it is going to be a expensive build.

    The toon is already 50. The order of powers doesn't necessarily mean anything. Same for the slot levels.

    I'll be sure to poke around that thread a bit. Thanks.
    Actually if you plan on doing some lower level content it dose matter, but if not that ok too.

    Not saying you're wrong or anything. Just saying it's not really a necessity to have stealth with high defense - especially on melee ATs. If you're going after glowies I can see the procs' use, though.

    That said, it is more fun with run with your auras on lol.
    hey thts how i do and if it a glowie thats what purples are for
  25. I took a look at your build and first off your def is higher then u said in it secondly you have fire/cold SC while your S/L are not. Also you really do not need the EM epic pool if u took it for the Physical Perfection. Plus I would of tooken Foot Stomp lot sooner, here is a thread to help you out a bit. http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=259388
