I just run tip missions. It's not the fastest way to get it done, but I can do it solo and quit at any time with minimal penalty when I come back.

Nope. There are many reasons why bruising is and has always been a garbage mechanic, but this is a major contributor.
"These modifers apply to almost everything in combat: Debuff strength, Mez duration, Knockback magnitude, and Damage are all affected." https://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Purple_Patch
I have read that bruising is currently effected by the purple patch, but I recall at one time that bruising was a power applied by the enemy to itself and thus ignored the purple patch.

I did that arc with my Tank. I have two attacks and brawl, I used only defensive inspirations (blue, purple, green). Is it possible that you're supposed to talk to him instead of fight him?
-
Well, if we're including selfish opinions: Make Rage a passive. Not a toggle, not a click. It's just "Hey, you've been at this for 28 levels and you've gotten better at what you do."

What's the path you take on this?

On a Tank? Capping, or near-capping S/L Resist shouldn't be that difficult on a Rad Armor Tank.
Probably not, but I haven't gotten around to an IO build yet. I started just frankenslotting. At some point, I'll get around to making more full build, but at this time I'm just not there. But every time I do something exemplared below 40, I kind of regret the lack of tough.
-
I got to level 43 without tough on my radiation/radiation tank, but it was actually when teaming that I regretted not having it. I felt a bit like a regeneration tank, going down to red in each alpha strike and hoping I'd live long enough for my heal to work.
-
So, these changes are to the melee sets only? Well, I imagine that the damaging taunt auras will see an increase in damage because they use the melee modifier, but mudpots will still be an 8' radius with maximum 10 targets and quills will be a 13' radius with maximum 16 targets?
And Invincibility/Willpower/Super Reflexes won't see any benefit at all?
And what does this mean for Radiation Melee's Irriadiated Patch, which seems to work like an auto-fire burn?
-
I find this format for the chances slightly confusing. Could you please also list the changes as a comparison to live?
I'll admit, I was looking forward to the endurance changes more than the increased caps and area, so I'm disappointed by their removal.

You laugh, however, there was a time that I ran Unstoppable in perma-mode.🤣
It was the most efficient way to play Invulnerability until I3.
Well, there was Tele-tanking too. I mean, I seem to remember the passives being 20% base resists and unyielding being 20% base resists, so you could get up to 95% if you had them all six slotted for resistance. Am I remembering incorrectly?
Edit: These were also the days of broken invincibility. Invulnerability was wild back then.

...why are they listening to min-maxers?
Because even min-maxers are people who play the game? Their opinions aren't invalid just because they don't play the same way you do?
-
I like the endurance change. I'm still low level, my highest tank is a Radiation Armour tank at level 30, but I've been having so many endurance issues leveling tanks from 14 to 30. Enhancements help some, but the increase will also allow me to tank Arachnos disruptors, Stunner Freaks, and various other endurance drains better.
-
I've only played one super strength tank to fifty, but it was my primary. Major Decoy was Invulnerability/Super Strength, and I never took rage. I used to make the suggestion that they should replace Rage with a passives because I'm kind of a selfish bastard. I like passives. I wanted more of them. I still like the idea of a melee character with no toggles and no click defenses (but then I remember how handy taunt auras are).
I have a new Super Strength tank now. I wasn't going to take Rage, I don't like the crash. If this change goes through and works as intended, I actually might take Rage.
-
Oh, yeah. I remember now. Getting fear protection into Unyielding Stance (and other mez protection) was one of my pet issues on the old boards.
-
Is it intentional that Radiation armor doesn't protect against confusion, or is it an oversight?
The lack of it made the fight against Cortex fairly difficult.

I did an archvillain with two blasters, and I'm pretty sure the only reason we were able to win eventually was because I had bruising. It was a long drawn out fight, and every debuff counted. It's a corner case, and it would have been easier if I hadn't been haphazardly slotted at the time, but still, there are situations in which bruising is more helpful than a personal damage increase.
