Silly question stuck in my head while at work 😛 If you're already defense soft capped, how does the -toHit of Dm help you? If i'm Soft capped, supposedly the big baddie will miss me as much as the game will let him, so the-toHit does what for me?

AOE seems to be the name of the game now, especially in endgame. Thematically I want to make a DA/DM tank. I'm wondering if DM is viable since it only has 2 AOE's that you get later in the game (lvls 28 and 35). All the rest are ST except the wonky cone Shadow Maul (that a lot of the DM guides say to skip anyway). How hard is it going to be to keep aggro on a large mob with everybody unloading AOE every which way.

I've also read a lot of the Window Size/Font Size forums, but never heard this question.... Is there a way to make the red Damage/ green Heal numbers that float by when fighting any bigger? I love to see what I'm doing or what is being done to me :)

Had a 2 50's back in the day. DM/Regen scrapper and SS/Inv Tank. Was working on a Fire/Fire brute that ended up tanking more than DPS in LFG. Now that I'm back I have super limited game time (work/kids) so want a ++survivable/damage scrapper for 90% solo...so a Brute it is. I have about 13 different Brute alts in the 2 weeks I've been back :) but all my builds have the same issue...I can't get my Rage bar above 70%. Really came home last night running an Electric/Electric brute. Clearing the main large room at the end of a warehouse...in 13 minutes straight of fighting, running from mob to mob, smallest mob had 2 baddies, largest mob had 5. My Rage bar never got above 2/3. I understand Brutes in theory can do more damage due to higher damage cap with Rage. Here is what I know about Rage: hit stuff/get hit, rinse/repeat. But if I can't get to the damage cap I might as well re-roll all my toons as scrappers since they already are at max damage with out Rage.
