Ver's Superman Inv/SS Build

[Verfall]

After Carravaggio questioned me about my Generic Inv/SS build, and my use ff aid self, I figured I'd throw up a build designed for what I assume most of you guys who play Invulnerability and Super Strength are going for; an old school Superman build. Personally, I'd almost suggest taking willpower to achieve that nowadays, but Invul is thankfully still a pretty good set for tanks. I weep for brutes and scrapper, but tanks can make do. So here's the build that I'm now going to reccommend to anyone making an Invul/SS tank. You'll be able to take it, dish it out and be overall awesome.

You'll notice a liberal sprinkling of single set IO's in there. The ones I selected for the toggles are relatively cheap and allow you to only have to 3 slot them. Quite frankly any res/end or def/end IO over level 35 combined with atleast one 40 and one 35 generic IO will give you the 55% total that you should always shoot for in defense and resistance powers. As for the single IO's in the attacks, that was to allow you to hit the 95% damage number you should always shoot for and enjoy an extra % of endurance reduction, something Inv/SS can always use. Remember, when trying to cure endurance problems, always look at end reducers in your attacks first. The beauty of IO's is we can now frankenslot to achieve high levels of the 4 major areas of an attack, Accuracy, Damage, Recharge and Endurance. Take a look at IO sets, and the numbers on them, and with a little bit of math, you can get great numbers to all 4 aspects.

One other thing of note, thanks to Rage a toon using SS can afford to forego some accuracy in their attacks, especially if Rage is slotted for some to-hit buff. The way I have rage slotted here just a simple accuracy SO, or even a dual aspect IO with atleast 20% accuracy on it would easily suffice so long as you ran Rage perma, as you should. There's almost always one set in each type of attack that caps out at level 40 or 50 that is relatively cheap, has crappy set bonuses, but allows you to frankenslot out for maximum efficency. Never a bad idea to do some research into it. Hell, just ask me for a build and I'm more than happy to come up with something.

I used level 50 io's in this for simplicity sake, so's work fine for most things, as do any io's over 30. I do, however, reccommend shooting for 35 as your IO level base point. Only by that level do the numbers start to make so's look less attractive. Just remember, always shoot for 55% enhancement on defenses and 95% on any damage powers.
