i thought i'd share my current WP/SS build since i'm loving it so much.

i'm actually at lvl 34 right now but this is how i have it planned out...

49 => Resurgence ==> Rech(49)
+---------------------------------------------
01 => Sprint ==> EndCost(1)
01 => Brawl ==> Empty(1)
02 => Rest ==> Empty(1)


i pushed Strength of Will back to 47 because i wanted to get powers i was going to use all the time first... recovery, def & resis toggles and so on.  i really haven't needed it yet anyways since i've been able to tank 3 lvls higher than me no problem and have only died once during an Ouroboros 5th TF with 3 AVs... i've actually been able to tank 4 or 5 lvls higher than me at times.

i put of Rage until 44 because i wanted to work on my Def/Resis before boosting dmg.  if you wanted to take it earlier instead of another power than by all means go for it.

other than the slots in Heightened Senses that say Empty, i haven't figured out what to put in them yet... either recharge or endredux depending on how my end recovery is when i max out stamina.  so far my end management is pretty good, unless i fight someone that can drain end.  i still have to see how it is after i max out stamina and get footstomp.

one more thing... the empty slots on rise to the challenge are prob going to be AccDebuff for the small added def it might bring.  i want to add that the taunt on Rised to the Challenge isn't very good, don't count on it to keep aggro, taunt is pretty much a must.

[Edit]
i made a few changes and will post my current build soon.  i added aid self so that i could have a heal.  i also only have SoW three slotted since it turns out you can't slot for recharge, which is fine since i needed the slots elsewhere.  i also dropped conserve power since i really don't need it.

very interesting...

i do have some IOs for added HPs and Regen but they're not listed here.  since reaching lvl 50 with this guy, i've rolled a couple more tanks (dark/dark and ice/ice) and they're all great for different reasons.  dark has, IMO, the best self heal in the game and i can play ice as a tanktroller which combines my two fav archetypes =)

[Tazhyngarth]

How great is the Dark self heal?  I have my Stone Armor (Earth's Embrace) Heal granting me (I think) 1424 HP and it lasts for 2 minutes with a 1 minute Recharge.

Granted, I don't have Hasten, but that would lessen the recharge, it's fully slotted with Doctored Wounds, but with other Set combos I could improve it a little, and I can't remember exactly how much it heals/grants bonus HP because I haven't used it in a while, but it was at least 1420, of that I'm sure.

Aside from that, I'd say that if you could get some Sets going in this build you'd be all set.  I have an SS Brute that is slotted similar to you, the 2 Acc and 3 Dam I mean, and he does great...I have to work on his Endo problem, but aside from that, it's great.

[Bliz]

I don't know the numbers on Dark Regeneration, but with 3 enemies in range, and if you hit them all, you get a full health bar with no heal enhancers. However, Dark Regeneration costs a third of your endurance bar to pop so... yeah.  Boy what a tradeoff. ;]  It's not a temp HP buff however; it's just a straight heal. I believe its base recharge is about 30seconds as well. (There's a saying with Dark Armour; if you can't kill me in 30 seconds...)

Siphon Life .. I've tried in many ways and you really can't get more than a 25% heal from it; I guess they expected all Dark Armours to also be Dark Meleers, so the smaller heal is just a topoff between Dark Regen applications. Somewhat unfortunate, but I wouldn't give it up.

Looking over your WP/SS tank.. we wen't in way different directions, but mine is a SS/WP Brute. (Sorry, getting Rage at 18 is tooooo tasty.)  Still, I like seeing great diversity amoung builds for assorted reasons. (Not the least one being 'hey that's a good idea I should try it.')

[twiztidchild]

i never did post my new build... sorry.

i'll try and get that together today or tomarrow.  my guy has been at 50 for a long time and i don't really play him anymore, but i promised a build and i'll give it.

here's my current build

this is my build i respec'd into at lvl 50 so Aid Self is taken late.  i prob could have put it in at lvl 35 but since i only use this guy at lvl 45+, i'm fine with where it is.

sorry this took so long

[Tazhyngarth]

Not a problem, we've had other things to tend to while we waited .

We appreciate you putting this up though.
