Superman build (Invuln/Super Str) Semi-long : COH - General / Guide - Discussions

This is my first post here at Tault so please excuse me if this sounds lame and/or stupid. I've done my fair share of gaming in CoH and found this build during my travels.

This is why this build is so awesome: One day a long time ago (well, a month ago), I was playing my Warshade and was about to finish a task force mission with my buddies. Our group consisted of me, 2 scrappers, a controller, and a......I think a fire tanker. Anyway we've been doing this mission for a least a week now, on and off and we were finally going to kill the archvillian. I can not tell you how many times we died trying to kill this guy. We were so frustrated, we decided to start over but with more people. We picked up a tanker (invuln/super str) and an empath defender. We thought we were ready. So after a full day (12 hours) of fighting, we got back to the archvillian. My buds and I explained to our new friends that we had not been able to take this guy. So the tanker, being the awesome person he was, ran up to the archvillian and started the get wailed on. Now, here's the cool part. We watched his health the whole time, it did not go down. He was standing toe-to-toe with this Purple archvillian and he could take the hits. The defender didn't even heal him. He healed the people who were getting hit with the AoEs. So, being the dedicated healer I was, I made an Invuln/Super Str and he is litterally invulnrable. He just can't take Psonic dmg (stupid psonic dmg.......). If you want a build that can take the damge forever and feel like your invulrable, this is for you.

My build that I have found is more a solo build. This is word for word exactly how I did it. So, here it is.

There it is. I would strongly ask for people to comment/flame/critizes/praise this build because I need to know what to do better.

Well, thats it for now. I'm still looking at a more group oriented build. I'll update this when I find it Have fun!!

you lick the sweat off a dead mans balls. so does this site for not giving good hacks or mods.

I hear ya nico! I'm not impressed. Lots of old data. This build for example is I4.

If you want a good ED (last update/patch 11.17.05) PVP/PVE build for a invul/ss tank. Try this:

Level: 50
Archetype: Tanker
Primary: Invulnerability
Secondary: Super Strength

I personally do not like super stregnth and invul together because being a hero is about showing off your powers and if your running around you cant even tell you have a power! its also about fighting but you could be totally cooler and have cooler attacks that do equal damage! i dont like these builds but it is good advice for poeople who do!

Is this build still good? Since the tanker nerfing done i think 2 updates ago.Plz tell me becuase i think i might want to make a invul/ss tanker
