Tanker damage is already less than half of brute damage which is ridiculous and unbalanced. nobody is asking for tankers to do the same damage, but if they dont do more damage than they currently do then it remains that tankers are balanced poorly and are un fun to play outside group settings. an important consideration of MMO design is solability, yes. becuase nobody is going to team 100% of the time, at least for sure not most people. My experience in FFXIV has taught me that tanks can hit hard and still be balanced with the dps. a tank in that game hits about half as hard as an equally well geared and played dps and it makes being a tank fun, becuase you're not a glorified meat shield, you can hurt things. Pretending tanks dont need to do damage is just as ridiculous as pretending support dont. Damage is THE MOST BASIC element of all gameplay in an mmo and thus is everybodies job. the people specialized for it more so than others. Tankers have the same resist cap as brutes and only roughly 300 more HP yet brutes do double the damage if not more. this is NOT balanced nor can it be claimed to be close. Lower brute resist cap to 80% or fix tanker damage. only 2 options which address the issue.

Decent change. I like most of it. Lets be honest, most people already built for instant snipe, this isnt going to change a whole lot.

I have an inv/em tanker I really like the concept and character of, but I dont like how EM has literally ONE aoe. is it at least possible to get cooldowns low enough to spam it if needed?

Recently made one for the concept, I heard it would be pretty good damage and support in groups, but a bit less good solo, is this about accurate? any suggestions for build?

No idea what IO sets to go for on my electric/time corruptor. I am shooting for a split between dps and support with my build, favoring buffs over healing on the support side.

Really appreciate all you do for the COH community and the superhero mmo community at large, your heroic necromancy has revived the only actually good superhero mmo to ever exist!

I played CoH ages ago- for like an hour before moving on to other games, then when I was ready to come back and give it another chance it had been shut down by a shortsighted company which doesn't understand profit in overseas markets. Now that its playable by privately hosted miracle at least until some loser tries to make a lawsuit (I really hope that doesn't happen) I am installing and hope to play soon :D Looking forward to the characters I can create in this game.
