So my plan is to get atleast 50% resistance by investing in tough body first then focus on body armor expert, what do you think I must do?

Tough body is a must when you are facing dm so max TB and then put 10-25 points in BAE

I maxed out Tough Body first; and I invested about 10 points on Body Armour Expert, but yeah — max out TB first then focus on BAE. Your choice.

TB\> BAE at beginning. BAE\> TB mid-medium high. TB+BAE end game

What should I use with my skill points?25 on BAE also heavy gear.But wondering if I should max Hold the line or tough body first(can’t seem to see the effects of tought body because of my resists?not sure tho)

TB is a must for tanks and later on after maxing TB and the game won’t add TB on to armor resist and TB can defend DM’s.you can spend 5-10 points on BAE if u want

I know its been a while but has anyone seriously crunched the numbers on this? I know the damage formula is TOTAL DAMAGE(1-TOUGH BODY)(1-(sqrt TOTAL ARMOR). Seems like it would be easy enough to plug into something and get a function out, I just dont have the software, but I do have a concussion lol. Guess I could break out the old Ti-84 when my head stops hurting. I want to know at what point BAE becomes overkill for a heavy and you should focus on other things like movement speed. Assuming a maxed out build with decent black gear. my current heavy is lvl 67 and has: tough body 25 hold the line 15 body armor expert 9 brute strength 5 health regen 4 toughness 3 heavy gear 3 die another day 1 bombardment 1 concussion 1 black jupiter with biosynth, pierce, deadly black stripper with tenacious, pierce, overclocked red mustang, holding out for a black black medusa helm, black dragonfly vest, red medusa gloves, red graphene boots and legs. armor is at 50% physical, 40% fire, 80% acid, with plenty of room for augments just not enough cash. the only thing I seem to struggle with is the fire damage but once I have full black gear and augment cores I should be fine. Planning on maxing out HTL and throwing the rest into toughness, movement or die another day. Might start a new heavy to be a super tank with 25 in TB, toughness, and HTL and rely on biosynth for regen.

25 toughbody is probably a must for a tank but at high level you can get max armor 99% with like 15 or even 12 bae
