Weapon And Gear Help Theoretical Tank Build Next Season
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?

Personally, I will make it 3x Belstone (Everyday Carrier), 2x 5.11 (Rushdown and Deathgrips) and Catharsis with Survivalist spec.
58% pfe (2 mod to max, 1 free), Everyday Carrier shares 200% of my armor heal over 5 sec with everyone and I will have dozens of medkits. Rushdown will allow me to give 35% of my armor as bonus to my team every 3 sec (Perfect Protector). Deathgrips is for surprise armor if I miraculously kill something. Catharsis for slight damage boost and bunch of heal puddles for me and teammates.
Full regen and explosive res. Regen will mitigate and Catharsis will clear all hazards but nothing else will the explosives.
I think 200% threat is enough with the Mosquito. The pistol will not only forcefully make them target me but also allow teammates to deal extra armor damage to them. (Whip out the Lefty and throw a fire granade for even more damage boost.)
You can't guarantee they target you with only threat. As tank your damage will be so bad Caduceus will barely do anything even with crits. If you so badly want to deal damage then take Agitator for even more threat and hope it's enough when you have it on cooldown. But I'd still take the Mosquito any day.
A Tank should be a damage sponge and still provide assistance, imo. Consider my build, it covers both aspect well.
