Heavy Weapons build attempt? Going for a tank, this time around.

wrathsoul1

I think I suck at making DPS builds. So, go for a tank?

Obviously a WIP because again, I don't know how to freeform.

Defiance is the exception to passives, as you typically don't need to rank it up. The build uses Eruption to put up CF, Annihilate for single targets, and Arc for its debuff, CF refresh, and AoE. Gears mostly for Con, w/ some Str and End/Rec.

Wouldn't I need Lightning Reflexes to make the best out of Masterful Dodge? I mean, wasn't Dodge/Avoidance nerfed to be useless to those who aren't using the right powers?

flowcyto

MD already brings you well past 100% dodge as is, so its still quite useful to non-dodge builds.

Huh. Could've swore Dodge/Avoid was nerfed in the early 10s. Oh well.

flowcyto

Yea, but that was dodge/avoid rating on gear that was mostly (though not solely) nerfed. Dodge powers were changed to mostly be %age based instead, and MD now is basically causing you to take half (or less) dmg cause you dodge all hits at ~50-60% avoidance baseline w/ it up.
