Need help with a pa tank build

thaneos2014

I want to make a PA tank with high survivability with a bit of range and melee powers.
Think of that movie real steel but with a mini gun, micro munitions and a chainsaw.

I was thinking more along these lines. Providing what I read about talents from different trees being able to stack was correct. I'd prefer not to have anymore attacks from the PA archtype other then 4 I have here.

Ok cool, this is just a early draft I might change clobber back out later for something else.

Thanks for the advice / help.

There's no reason to have both Defiance and Invul. If you take def for the energy from being hit, it tends to negate the use of invul.

Energy management is often the most difficult aspect to manage as far as PA goes. If you utilize end primary, you can cover most of that using the spec tree if you don't mind always being in 50ft range of your target and your handslot exclusively used by your energy builder (using adv to make it a toggle/handslot)

However, msa offers nothing in your current setup, as the only thing that would set it off in a reasonable amount of time is bcr, which would still take too long in between cds. You might as well go overdrive.

Saw the latest revision - definitely no use for msa at this point.
