  Looks pretty good for a Might + various knocks build. Wish these builds had a proper EU (instead of relying on Defiance/Unstoppable), but oh well.

  Couple points:

  1. TK shield is tougher than force shield, and its linger is also tougher (force shield gives energy instead). Typically I don't expect defiance tanks to need the extra energy.
     
  2. I don't really recommend lunges for cosmics; it's generally safer (if slower) to walk forward while blocking, and if you have soak tanks, helps to make sure all the tanks stay together.
     
  3. The way bionic shielding works, if you shield yourself, a healer can't shield you (bionic tampering is universal). That's bad, because a healer's bionic shielding will be much much better than yours. Thus, I don't recommend it except on solo builds or healers.
     
  4. It doesn't seem likely that you'll have the energy management to really take advantage of force cascade. Another ranged knock, such as force geyser or force snap, might do better.

  Oh, I didn't think 'Cosmic' here referred to the pve content, but the build theme. I guess I shoulda considered the former a possibility when replying.

  I wish there was some way to trade out Defiant for Invul. I know that defiant is supposed to be great and all that if you have so much con that you soak everything anyway, but trying to level with defiant is pure pain, it like having no passive at all. I honestly think you are supposed to level with something else and then trade out for defiant later.

  Invuln does help more w/ leveling due to trash dmg, though if ur still mid-low levels then no defensive passive is going to make you very tanky if you get kicked up into Alert content early. What stuff were you having problems with, though?
