The most durable would have to be inv tanks with wp in a close 2nd. The overall best tank would be fire/ss.

Is electric armour a consideration due to the new heal and res to sapping
Am I wrong to take Dark Melee for the self heal and self +end
Is there any point to slotting for defense for Zonal pvp? (prob on an invul)
How do I combat, Heat Exhaustion, Lingering Radiation, Inervating Field, Radiation Infection, Benumb, Assassin strikes :S
I liked the fact that an Invul easliy hits the Hp Cap, I suppose if i slotted up Numina's
I can increase the heal power of Siphon Life...
I am worried about debuffs tho, what res to debuffing does an invul have?

Elec is probably the strongest taunt bot due to the heal, slow res and not being phased by heat ex. You trade those for a +hp power, but it's worth it. You also have to slot KB prot, but only enough for the occasional levitate. Take phase and never die.
Oh and Super Strength. Always SS.
Elec will definitely work with phase and has some nice exotic protection, but I'd go with fire over elec. Just a personal preference thing. Elec is much better for dealing with therms but I love the heal on fire too much.
Dark melee could work for a tauntbot, but I'd go with ss. Can't really beat having rage kob and hurl for tanks.
On a inv I wouldn't waste time slotting for def. Go go for HP.
Inv has a bit of slow protection and end drain resist. As far as AS's go if you know how to evade, keep moving and how to use phase, stalkers should be of little concern.
I wouldn't really worry about +heal bonuses. Personally I wouldn't choose DM for a tank, but on paper using it for the self heal on a taunt bot looks like a decent idea for zones.
Again, inv has resist to end drain, slows and defense debuffs. It's pretty minimal ( about 20% each if I remeber correctly) but every little bit helps.
Elec/SS, end of discussion.
The best taunt bot I've seen in zone was a ss/inv brute. Guy had 2 taunts, phase and web nades. He would spam taunts, webnaded everything he saw, and rarely died. Elec and fire are better all around builds, but for something that can take a butt whoopin' and a half before using phase, inv is definitely better. I have both a fire tank and inv and my inv lasts longer than the fire before it has to phase.
Granted I'd pick my fire over the inv any day of the week, but the inv is a tougher tank.
i understand that you are saying about SuperStrength but its a no brainer, it's not what this toon is going to be about, the one decided factor already is that it's going to be DarkMelee.
Pretty sure i'll go with Elec, no need for KB resistant to loadsa dmg most of all Nrg which features alot recently.
So, What pools do i need, was thinking about
Fitness
Speed
Medicine
Concealment
Or do I need Tough ?

Elec does need kb protection. It does have grounded that grants you 10 points when you are on the ground, but that isn't going to get you far.
For power pools I'd go with fitness, conceal, leap and speed. Tough or aid self isnt needed. With phase and the self heal you'll be good to go. You could drop leap for aid self but anyone with half a brain will be able to evade your taunts easily. You'd also have to invest in pvp ios to get the desired 41 kb with no acrobatics.
for zone, all of that makes perfect sense.
in a team arena setting though, an ss/elec or fire/elec brute will be your top choice.
endless webnades > broken fossilize.
fire has a bit of an edge in some situations since you will not be subject to rage crashes and if you end up being perma-taunted (happens a lot), you can dish out more damage than ss against another /elec or elec/ target (loli13+ team fiteclub is go).
Looking for a Tauntbot build and advice please.
Something for team PvP (Zonal) what tanker build is going to be the most survivable and be able to hold off a gank? well.. for the longest time anyway.
Not bothered about killing stuff, it's all about the taunt and the survive.
thanks
