Hard to kill tank? Possibly able to solo Hard or Elite level missions?

amazingproton

I call upon the powers to be once again for one of my lvl 40 toons. She was a toon that, back in 2012 was able to solo Hard/Elite content and Gravitar in the On Alert season. I no longer think it's viable with all the new nerfs and buffs. Could one of you fantastic Tank builders help me out?

It does not have to stick to a specific theme.. I'm not worried about that... I'm worried more about being able to take the hit and keep moving while carving a path to the bosses and win each time.

This is what I used to have, with gearing suggestions.

This is the tank build I run. To be completely honest, I don't even remember the last time I died in pve with this build.

I have been the last person standing on Gravitar multiple times and still completed it...although I haven't ran it recently if she got a buff or whatnot since her alert first started.

I geared: Offense-crit, Defense-HP, Utility-cost reduction...and of course, run in Tank role.

Ok, I would just vomit up a rather basic "tank n spank" build l Like so

But lets be honest, while it's effective odds are it's not going to suit you overly well... so if you want something that is tailored to your play style, while also being incredibly effective, throw me a message/mail in-game @notyuu and we'll work out something together.
