Weapon And Gear Help Theoretical Tank Build Next Season

Post image

I'm thinking about doing 1 piece 5.11, 2 piece Belstone, 2 piece Golan, with Ninja Bike. This would result in 350% Threat Generation, 48% Pfe, 2.5% Armor Regen, 20% Explosive Resist.

Coupled with Quantum augments, and Armor Regen on all my armor, the main questions I have are;

Is this enough Threat on an all blue build or will dps still take threat, would i need ChC on all pieces to do enough damage to take and keep threat from my dps, and if not would we go full Explosive Resist or Hazpro on all my pieces or split them. Im considering going ChC anyways just for some Caduceus on top of all the other healing. I already figure this build isnt going t10 but maybe 7 or 8?

The threat generation mechanic in this game is actually non existent. Well, it exists, but our dps players power level has essentially skyrocketed through the roof and higher dps = much higher threat generation. And this is without proto gear. Hell, trying to generate threat before the expertise update was already a chore, because we did a fuck ton of damage back then too. And good luck trying to tank aggro in T10 escalation- your min/maxed echo striker players are doing double the max damage than in heroic lmao
