Tank help needed 

Does anyone have any ideas for a Invulnerable/Energy tank build thats ok in both PVP and solo? And can someone recomend a good hero builder?
This is how my build stands at present (lvl 40), and I see more than my fair share of floor-time...

Attacks;
Barrage, Energy Punch, Bone Smasher, Taunt, Whirling hands, Build up, Total Focus

Defense;
Resist Physical Damage, Temp Invulnerability, Dull pain, Unyielding, Resist Energies, Invincibilty, Tough Hide, Unstoppable

Other; Air superiority, Veteran Axe, Fly,

Help?

RE: Tank help needed 

Invuln loses its biggest mitigation tool in PvP, that is Invincibility. This makes it necessary to have other powers to mitigate the damage. Luckily, Invuln/EM is a rather loose build, meaning that you can take the passive resistance powers. I managed to work up a build that'll cap your HP when Dull Pain is up, and you'll have nearly Permanent Dull Pain, providing you spam Hasten, which all PvPers should do, any way. The build is set for PvPing pretty well in Sirens, though you'll do *much* better in Warburg on up, with the addition of Energy Transfer and Total Focus to your attack chain. How you managed to skip Energy Transfer at 35 I do not know, let alone understand, but it is something you should seriously consider respecing into your build, ASAP.

Here's the build, complete with appropriate levels for the inventions:

Level 28: Boxing -- Acc-I:50(A)
Level 30: Tough -- ResDam-I:50(A), ResDam-I:50(31), ResDam-I:50(31), EndRdx-I:50(34)

I ask this question every time, but...
why are you going for the fighting pool instead of picking the auto invulnerability resistances?
I would prefer to have the auto powers.





I'm listening to real music.
Real Rock, real Gothic, real Rap, real Soul, real Funk...etc

Yeah, I missed the PvP thing in the first post.

And I was operating on 3 hours of sleep when I made the build. I actually intended on putting the auto-resists in there somewhere. :)

Ok, scratch it all. The build I went with has fragged my paly-style beyond all belief. Its now just a matter of having to do Terra Volta to fix the mess I made.
Ive never been much of a pvp-er anyway, its just that villains seem to have it all there own way whever I try it. Oh well...pass me that Heavy remote =]

I sometimes wish I could give people some of my vet respecs. :/ I get 3 vetspecs on each character and never use them.

Same here. I remember back in the day when I had to run the Terra Volta TF to get one as well.

Something funnier than having unused respecs, is having 26 free tailer sessions. I laughed when I logged in the other day and saw that on one of my toons.
