    I'd suggest slotting Gravitational Anchor: Chance for Hold into Web Grenade as that REALLY helps against ranged ATs.

    I don't like farming with my dark/sd. It is average at farming but there are much better farming combos out there.

    A quick mod shows what a few slot changes can do. Lower end use, high regen and recov.
    I'm not liking that you have two travel powers not to mention resistance to s/l is pretty low and DDR isn't at the cap. I would not have nearly as much regeneration or recovery and would focus on raising resistances and DDR.

    I'd take AAo much later in the build as well. Having aggro at lower levels isn't good when you don't have the defense or hit points to survive an large mob of enemies.

    Here is a build I made, it has higher endurance costs, lower regeneration, but higher resistances and higher DDR.

    I am PvP farming and taking advantage of their current ridiculous prices.

    Never! I refuse to use ster...I mean inspirations!
  9. Santorican
    Shield with a large investment is much better at endgame
  10. Santorican
    I personally wouldn't slot Soul Drain with GFCS it doesn't have any accuracy and it has pretty a crappy recharge percentage.

    You have no idea what merging the markets instantly would do. There is a large disparity between blue side and red side so there would be a huge shift in demand/supply.

    From doing so I had even recieved PMs asking who I think the best Min/Maxxer in the Scrapper section is, of which I couldn't give a poo and said so. But from that however, I got the impression that some people maybe coming here into this section to try and min/max as best as they can. Other sections tend to just get people somewhere near and/or started.
    Best is relative and overrated.

I dropped RttC and picked up aidself and built my tanker to have a 57hp/sec regen in RV after DR. Its not that to high but I also have a perma 3098 HP and it does make a difference. Taunt on the other hand is one of my favorite powers and is useful on a team.
    You shouldn't be getting mezzed in PvE at all as a tanker...

    Of course that's a better build than I can muster, so my builds do tend to use the Kismet.
    I had a +6% to hit in my build once and couldn't really see or notice a difference in the amount of times I missed or hit.

    Doh! I knew it was too easy to soft cap for some reason. Anyway corrected it, you lose some resistance and the end cost on gloom goes up but youre at the Melee, and AoE soft cap. I believe that Mid's is bugged when it comes to PF's ranged defense and it not granting the 3.75% defense to ranged and only melee and aoe.

    Welcome back! I'd definitely suggest searching around the scrapper boards as there are a metric ton of threads with a lot of very good fire/shield builds. It actually doesn't take a lot of influence in order for a fire/shield to do a lot of damage and be extremely surviable. Fire is a good primary for dps because it doesn't require a lot of recharge in order to dish out a cheese load of dps. So that allows you to focus on soft capping, regeneration, recovery, and resistance.

    Here is a relatively cheap build that I made, if you're patient it could cost as low as 200 million which if you read up on the market forums is pretty easy to achieve if you buy/craft/sell enhancements.
