But apart from that, how does it feel in normal gameplay? Does the extra mitigation from SM benefit /Bio enough to keep you going through whatever you throw at it?

Elec Armor is absolutely a resistance based set. Higher resistance caps benefit it. War Mace is a damn fine crunchy set regardless of AT. My mace/bio scrapper is a freaking joy to play and I went max recharge because both sets greatly benefit from it. My ma/elec brute went brute because of the higher resist caps and also because Storm Kick's +defense helps shore up said resistance. Based on those two characters, if I really wanted to play with mace and elec armor, damn straight I'd choose tank.

Even I can't go there. I can see swapping out the fighting pool for rune of protection functioning quite well in most circumstances. I ain't gonna do it, of course, partly because I hate the origin pools, but mostly because I specifically put myself in situations where having that much less SL damres 2/3 of the time would fuck me.

Closer to half that at 6.7*3=20.1. @BillyMailman proved that redraw does not effect DPS. At least on the sets he tested with. The rest of what your post points to is dead on. SR on a tanker, regardless of how you go about building it, is freaking incredible. The mitigation differences are as stark between a tank and a brute as they are on the offense side between a brute and a scrapper.

You have my admiration for doing something I would not even attempt.

If only humans could treat humans as well. Good on ya, Lumi.

Got 1 SSer and haven't trained up rage yet. Cuz I don't play him.

... Did I forget that was a thing?

Since I hover blast near the ceiling of any given map, first person actually works better for the field of vision when forced... but I'd always go back to third person given the chance. Good luck with this one but it sounds horrible.

Also cautiously optimistic.

This seems like the most logical answer. Default Off. Allow On. Everybody wins.

I've been asking for fishnets and corsets for males and cigars for our female characters for a looooong time. So, seconded.

I still don't get it. Every time I've grabbed it, it's left me thinking it does far too little for its cost.

Went ahead and tested that. Nrg/Bio/Soul scrapper no lore, same incarnates, 5:33.

<5mins with my shield/nrg/soul tank to take out a Lattice monster out at Tempest Quay, but I had to use my T4ed Radial Carnies (DRM and Seneschal.) No daggers. Musc, Degen, Assault, Pyronic all in play. Doubt it's possible without Lore in play for this build. Edit: a bio/nrg tank wouldn't have an issue.

So titan weapon needs a baseball bat option.

So, as IS just stated, make it NOT a pseudopet since that's the root issue. Isn't burn a pseudopet? It takes the AT IOs.

So it should be a double-fix. Unass the broken proc firing and then allow the AT IOs, yes?

Earth Assault would get a nod but not until the animation glitch on stone spears is fixed.

It does but with all the +psi resist/def single IOs you can plug it pretty effectively. In end game builds, that 6th purple is 6% resist per pop.

None of them as they all need to have the underlying equations and values reworked. But since that ain't happening.... Claws on Scrappers, Brutes and Tanks Katana War Mace

I've always wanted this as well since using email is tedious but not just for inf. Converting emps to transcendents and emailing them is tedious. Converting merits to H-V merits and emailing them is tedious. Not being able to move threads at all is tedious. Would be much nicer to just dump it all in base storage for retrieval from an alt.

Or maybe I just hate the new origin pools.

Well, ya did edit your post after I posted... you provided none of the build info in the initial post. You mentioned resist tankers here with a random 10x vs 2.5x comparison. Thus my comment regarding them. I see no point discussing teammates and what they can bring during a build discussion. If the min levels of barrier are getting you to the incarnate softcap, so be it. And no, my goal isn't to fight at low health with capped resists. My goal is to survive everything solo without leaning on partial uptime powers/buffs.
