(I posted this in the Reddit, But felt like sharing it here with all the complaining about not being able to tank the current ISA.)
Also want to add I made myself NOT click Miracle worker a couple times in the last couple runs just to see, and that Auto Regen going on still kept me alive.
Ok, kept altering my Klingon Engineer build. And I simply don't die. I usually am between 60-70% Damage in, Hits in. Shields are simply a buffer, spend the entire map Hull tanking Between 50-80% hull.
The Kobali Def/Eng 2 piece with the combo of the Command set? They both add to Hull healing. The Auto regen of the Kobali set and the Intel tree seems pretty crazy. Swear a few times I shoulda died, yet instantly 25%,pop,75% hull. And with the Integrity Field, and double dipping Miracle when I would get to around 30%.
After running it all day I hopped over to my TAC in the monbosh still set up for full on DPS and Poof. yeah, can't do it. lol
Makes me wonder if they did it on purpose. I mean the Newest ship set, Newest mission gear and living is easy in ISA.
Its' even easier with the DPS channel, Just found myself switching off Shield Frequency for the Plus Threat Cruiser Command. But, Tanking I have no problem doing with the ship.
Here's the Updated build. Not sure If its something else, but it just works.

Granted, if there is a misplaced decimal, then it should be fixed (like any other bug). But people are just using their old builds and expecting it to do everything without having to adapt to changes.
It was never about dying, it has always been about how fast you can pile on damage and to hell with all the science skills, console flair, and aggro tanking you can bring.
I have been tanking the whole ISA map from day 1 on a lvl 50 Galor for all the good it did me with only 20some K dps to contribute while I did it. Everypug was free to deal damage, (they couldnt possibly exploit gdf) but still to this day they cant grasp the simple mechanics behind the instant fail condition, and/or cant climb dps mountain fast enough.
If you want to pug proof it, get a sci that can grip the borg-balls in a gravity well or a tykens rift while holding the aggro. I can do it in a vesta, but 20k is a stretch while I do.
From the last couple days to todays little marathon. (I'd do the map, go do chores come back, do it again,e tc.)
Did have a couple fails, So ok, not Pug Proof. Wrong wording. Did fail 3 of the 15 or so I did. I set up my Fed almost the same in the Prisidio to Rotate.
That said, this ship I do 28-32k a run. had one map where I did that and everyone else did below 5k. Still won since one actually did CC right. And the others didn't do anything wrong. Still beat it.
Had one with a 80k Scimi, one with a 10k Scimi. One where a guy did 75k, 25k of that was Plasma Burn.lol
And a few that were all almost 20k. So wasn't thinking right. Now that you made me think about it. yeah I'd say they were all good pugs except one. Have no clue what the hell they were doing.
But, my point was that I adapted I guess. lol
Just got tired of all the posts,chats going on about "I died 7 times in one PUG!" This is so broken. What good is a tank that can't tank? No more tanking in this game, it's Impossible!, Don't do it.
A Parsechaser zerged the gens before we were done the opening battle and, naturally, got themselves blown up, but I just had this feeling that the Dragger would be live up to it's name...and it did.
She flew into the midst of the Nanite Spheres and Reverse-TBR dragged them back while avoiding fire from the portal, giving us time to finish off the first gen and catch up to the Parsechaser who flew from their death cooldown to the other transformer. ISA PuG saved.
The U.S.S. Ball Dragger...not the hero PuGs deserve, but the hero we need. :O
There you go Virus, did a quick fix for you.
Praetor of the -RTS- Romulan Tal Shiar fleet!
Heh, it's one of those things...quick, somebody scramble the Spheres so we can all Iso 'n R-Tet them to kill the guy before can bring them closer! Though, I guess somebody with a decent normal TBR could work at pushing them away...it would just before more fun to blow the guy up.
I bet that would be overkill. lol
I did think about the fact of 2 piece Nukara, 2 Piece Kobali. But don't wanna lose AMP. And getting That Kobali Warp Core to Epic to get AMP I just haven't been in the mood for. Forced myself to Epic a couple Items. and realized the amount of EC/Dil I went through woulda paid for another Lockbox Ship in the future. Or coulda got the Astika for Supremacy on my Fed. Etc.
