And this is why you don't simply go for "Defense and Nothing But".
Otherwise, you're simply an eggshell.
Crack the surface and it's all over.
Get your Resists up underneath, and it becomes a tickle fight.
It's part of how the POV "camera" interacts with the environment.
This falls under a set of undesirable behaviors that I refer to as "stupid camera tricks".
Actually I'm inclined to agree with Bierfuizi somewhat.
No Fighting pool.
Granted, using roughly the same number of power choices to get to the same place.
But Fighting is defiintely NOT needed.
*Cough* Have you tried turning it off and back on again.
Basically when Windows (or programs in Windows) are acting flaky, first move is ALWAYS "Rebootski!"
You play a Tanker that doesn't Tank?
Uh. Isn't that akin to a petless mastermind?
Or a toon that simply takes as many ancillary power pool powers and ignores primary and secondary pics?
Almost sounds like a file is being held open.
When was your last reboot?
And, can you actually cut-paste (move) the folder somewhere else and then back?
Brutes more or less run a fine balance between Scrapper damage and Tanker toughness.
Additionally, it allows you some Attack/Armor combos that Scrappers just don't have access to.
If I can't herd three instances of the largest map in the game, packed wall-to-wall, floor to ceiling of enemies, SIMULTANEOUSLY, the aggro cap is too restrictive.
What can I say? I'm an Auto-Tank.
When everything fails, I revert to tanking on whatever I'm on.
This is how I wound up Tanking LR during the STF once on a Fire/Fire/Pyre blaster...
No problem.
And while I refer to it as a "Tanktroller", just keep reminding yourself that you are NOT a Tank.
Basically you're "I'm a god! I'm a god! I'm a god! I'M A CORPSE!"
Charging in and eating an alpha for a team full of squishies DOES work.
But, every now and again, the RNG *HATES* you, and you go down in a blood-squirting pile of fail.
With Invuln, yeah. You can build up a moderate amount of Psi Resist/Defense. But also remember that you're ALSO covered by your Positional Defenses as well.
Trying (and failing) to remember an enemy that's tossing out pure [Psi] damage with no flags that'd invoke Positional Defense.
Take a look above at the build I tossed out on Wednesday.
Sure, it's only got 18.63% Psi Defense.
But anything Psi/Melee is going to have to deal with a MINIMUM of 39.94%.
Anything Psi/Ranged: 365%
Anything Psi/AoE: 31.56%
So, while Psi IS still your Kryptonite, it's not nearly as bad as you'd think.
