Willpower Tanker - City of Heroes

This is my WP/SS tanker, it's not quite done, but I thought I'd round up some monsters and show you guys what willpower can do. I'm very pleased with what I see so far, and I expect a very strong toon when it is finished. In the video, I was in PI's monster island. I rounded up 6 GM's by my count, I used SoW to round them up, because WP is best when foes are in melee range. After SoW wore off, I had some issues taking the damage, but I left it alone. I nearly died, and that would have been fine, but luck had other plans. I used SoW a second time, and after it wore off, I wasn't having any problems at all. This actually went on for about an hour after I stopped recording. I never used an inspiration, accolade, or anything besides SoW. I hope this was helpful for understanding willpower tankers. Thanks for watching.

one last question with the leaping pool if you don't mind. since you took that pool do you recommend taking acrobatic also? or just the cj is enough?

[paixofsparta]

I'm having trouble seeing your connection between CJ and Acro.

CJ gives +jump, but more importantly +def

Acro gives +KB Res and +Hold Res

Tankers in pve (for the most part) don't get knocked back or held...

Do you even read the power descriptions? This question is silly.

Got a good build. Not using hardly any endur and barly taking any damage. Nice job

Your WP tank is excellent! I can do this with my invul tank. But I can't get my WP tank's numbers up high enough! What are your IO sets?

I think you forgot that YURGAY!

This toon is obviously a PvE toon. It already has well beyond perma rage, it stays double raged for a good while. As for increasing that, that also means you have more rage drops. The faster you use rage, the more often you have rage drops. Which isn't good for a pve tanker. There's no valid reason to have hasten on this toon. Next, Combat Jumping does not give the same defense as Weave. Yes, the reason to get CJ is because you need it to get SJ and for +Def.

[BluesDesert]

I see, although the leaping pool gives some good def don't you think you could have choosen maybe other pool like speed for hasten which contributes alot when it comes to perma rage for example and since perhaps you already have fighting (which gives the same type of def etc as the leaping pool). Or is it because you needed the def of leaping pool so you can become "tougher" and be able to withstand 6 gm?

[paixofsparta]

Fighting, Fitness, Concealment, and Leaping (For the +Def)

[paixofsparta]

Everyone has been saying that for a long time. The reason it hasn't been changed is because WP is a VERY overpowered class. It's on the same level of OP-ness as Regen is to scrappers. Just like there are some dumb things about regen, neither WP or Regen will (or should) ever be made better without first making everything else better.

Plain and simple, it's a weakness. Willpower has the fewest weaknesses of any class in thew game. At least it has one.

Seriously that is very stupid. Rttc only have what? 3% tohit debuff rofl they should just take it off because rttc is truly what defines wp.

Btw just out of curiosity what are the power pools did u choose for this tanker?
