Pep's Might Build

Here's my current build I've been using since the Enrage changes. It seems to work pretty good. Probably not the most optimal, but I'm having fun with it, and seems to get the job done even against Warlord, and Gravy. I really just wanted to see how much Defense, and Offense I could get, and stick to concept.

I'm still working on getting Vigilante secondary gear, and some higher MODS, but i have 348 STR, 331 CON, and 123 REC ATM. I will eventually reduce STR to 320-ish, and put any added points to CON.
That gives me 12,348 HP, and 114/121 energy in Tank role.

I also have 471.8 OFF, and 311.4 DEF for +42% damage, and +73% resist. With 5 stacks o Tenacious, resist goes up to +86%.

I also have 37.7% dodge, and 58.7% Avoid. I'm hoping to get lvl 7 Gambler MOD eventually. I currently only have a lvl 4 slotted.

I've been debating dropping Havoc Stomp for Evasive Manuevers, but I like the AoE knockup, and stomp animation, and its good when I lose perception. Plus, Pep had Foot Stomp in CoH.

With 6 stacks of Defiant, I max out at 6x18%+86%= 194% resist. Once I get my CON up, I'll have 19% per stack, and hit 200% resist, so I'll be taking 1/(1+2) = 1/3 damage when I don't dodge.

Resurgence gives me a 6787 heal every 54 seconds, or 7562 if I hit Aggressor before it. I don't like to do this usually, especially if I'm tanking a foe that mezzes so I can have 2 separate hold breakers.

Questions? Comments?

    It's what I am using at lvl 40, but should still do pretty good leveling up.

    You may want to switch Resurgence with Demolish for some healing earlier, and put Resurgent Reiki's adv. pts in Defiant(since RR is useless without dodge, and you won't have as high resist from gear) unless you can get some dodge gear while leveling.
