Tankers and Brutes have the same 90% resistance cap. Tanekrs just get higher scalars for protective powers. Interesting. I didn't realize Tankers received better scaling on their defensives. That's something I'll have to look into further. Appreciate all of the replies so far though, it's definitely helped me paint a better picture of which direction I'd like to go. I'm still leaning toward Brute right now, considering SS/WP, I feel like I probably value the inherent damage from Brutes a bit more than the survivability that tanks offer right now. But this thread has definitely given me some ideas for a Tanker alt as well!

I'm wanting to roll a new character and I'm torn between Tanker or Brute. I wanted to get the opinion of some experienced Tankers on how they feel about this subject. It seems to me like Brutes are simply just a stronger pick and can fill either the Tank or DPS role well enough, but with a much higher potential for damage dealing. What are some of the benefits of rolling a Tanker over a Brute? Do they get any additional bonuses on the defensive side of things that a brute would never be able to achieve with a fully min/maxed set of IO's/powers? How easy/hard is it to achieve a reasonable amount of DPS on a tanker whilst still maintaining your survivability? Conversely, how easy is it to maintain your survivability on a Brute while still keeping your DPS output relatively high?

Seems like selecting the option to retrieve all of your influence at once, while just below influence cap, will only give you influence up to the cap but still remove all AH entries for which you are owed influence. Essentially if you have more influence in the AH than you can hold and try to retrieve it all at once, you will only receive what you are able to hold and lose access to the rest. I recently lost somewhere in the range of 10-20m influence while doing this just under influence cap. Additionally, selecting an individual item to retrieve influence from seems to work normally and prompts the user with a message stating that the influence is unable to be retrieved due to it placing you over influence cap.

It appears that attempting to grab an enhancement with your mouse, immediately after it has been sent to the AH storage can cause a client crash. Steps to reproduce: Open enhancement tray and auction house window Have an available enhancement in your tray Left click once to send the enhancement to the auction house storage Immediately left click and drag on the enhancement again to try and grab it with your mouse Theres only about a half-second window in between your first click and when the enhancement is no longer available in your tray, so you need to perform these actions pretty quickly for the bug to occur, but if done right it should cause your client to crash or send you to the login screen. Causes some minor annoyance when trying to send multiple enhancements to the AH quickly.
