Full on PA Tank

I'm wanting to rewrite one of my characters, an Invincible, into a PA tank. As tanky as I can get him. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Can use CoPD when playing defensively, and use CoAP instead if you want to focus more on dps w/ the extra energy (so you can hopefully use all 3 attack toggles constantly). Gears mostly for Con, w/ some Int and Rec/End.

In that case, you could go a non-toggle PA route. Prob focusing on Chest Beam mostly since you can just tap or half-charge it, and you get energy for it when blocking. If the boss is in ur face then you can take the point blank adv. Since Chest Beam applies Burn Through, you can take PAccel as the toggle and use Unified Theory as the EU.

Perhaps something like this:

Is the character still an Invincible, or did it get turned into a freeform? For an invincible, it's mostly going to come down to gearing, though you can make some marginal changes around the edges with your spec choices.

Appreciate the input! I don't mind toggles so I'll give the first one a try
