RE: Will/SS build...contemplating...

Hey Ron, you mixed up the levels for quick recovery and hightened senses, IIRC. also, this is probably just me, but i think that any set with built-in stamina doesnt need the fitness pool. I know that im going to have people jumping all over me for this, but whatever.

i was thinking about doing this build too, and mine would be similar to yours, but with some tweaks. Here's the plan up to lvl 30:

1 - High Pain Tolerance, Jab
2 - Mind over Body
4 - Fast Healing
6 - Indomitable Will
8 - Rise to the Challenge
10 - Flurry
12 - Hightened Senses
14 - Superspeed
16 - Kick
18 - Quick Recovery
20 - KO Blow
22 - Tough
24 - Combat Jumping
26 - Resurgence
28 - Rage
30 - Taunt

Please comment, provide feedback for mine as well as Ron's, even though we don't know very much about Willpower yet. I plan to use this character as a scranker, able to take a beating, but not the primary tanker.

RE: Will/SS build...contemplating...

Actually LD, Mid's puts Quick Recovery before Heightened senses....and so does the game. It should pop up at twelve. And thanks goodness for that. My tank has the same problem as most, if you attack a lot end goes bye bye. Can't wait for QR to offset that. Now that I've played a tank up a bit, I'm still saying willpower is awesome, and it's even better for tanks than scrappers.

Scranking will be pretty easy with it. So far rise to the challenge looks like an excellent power. The effect is pretty cool. I turned it on and let a group of yellows beat on me for about 5 minutes last night and didn't die. Very cool.

Guardian
Avant Guard = Emp/Rad/Psychic Defender Lvl 50 (Dedicated Healer)
Astral Plane = Peacebringer Lvl 50
Spica = Fire/Em/Energy Tank Lvl 50 (Scranker)
Avant Spines = Spines/Regen Scrapper Lvl 50 (AOE King)
Beliskner = Eng/Eng Blaster Lvl 42 (Blapper)
Avant Kin = Ill/Kin Controller Lvl 39
BMG = AR/Dev Blaster Lvl 29
Avant Psy = Psychic Blast/Empathy Defender Lvl 20 (Offender)
Avant Def = Kinetics/Energy Blast Defender Lvl 16
Avant Stone = Stone/Storm Controller lvl 15 (Super Controller)
Triumph
Lord Yu = MA/Regen Scrapper Lvl 24
Protector
Electrostun = Electric/EM Blaster Lvl 21 (Sapper)
T-99 = Ice/Ice Tanker Lvl 20
Starwolf = Katana/Inv Scrapper Lvl 18 (my very first toon, 3 1/2 years ago)
Pinnacle
Avant Claws = Claws/Regen Scrapper Lvl 22
Champion
Avant Dragon = Fire/Fire Blaster Lvl 20
Freedom
Avant Arch = Archery/NRG Blaster Lvl 50
Avant Char = Fire/Kinetics Controller Lvl 50
Avant Shade = Warshade Lvl 36

And many, many, many more....

Alot of people have been crying nerf over on the EU forums, because of RttC, primarily the slotting heal in it thing.

Rise to the Challenge
Effects: +100% Regen, +25% Regen per target in melee, -3.75% ToHit on enemy.
Unslotted with 10 people around you you'll have 350% regen. With 3x heal SOs this number is nearly twice; almost 700%.
Compare this with Integration. Base regen of Integration is +150% (woot, 25% more than RttC with 1 enemy in melee ...) and fully enhanced (3 SOs) 250%. This means that apparently RttC is fully enhancable for regen and can get A LOT higher regen than integration of which only a part can be slotted for regen.

I probably should have noted that I also have Sands of Mu and the Nemesis Staff.

Also note: I made this build early this morning and WANTED input. This character doesn't exist yet.

RE: Will/SS build...contemplating...

The only thing I have to add to the build is that indomitable will isnt necessary that early. I only have the autos and I never even need respites at level 10.

RE: Will/SS build...contemplating...

ok, my bad with the order of powers, i was going by the forum post from a while back, so sue me.

also, i would have my build surviving on brawl, jab, sands of mu, and flurry until lvl 16, when i would get kick. those are definitely enough low-end, fast-recharge, decent-damage attacks for good damage output with little end use. add in the KO Blow at lvl 20, and this tank will be a force to be reckoned with :)
