You okay with posting the build? Although I haven't concentrated on fully tooling out my Rad builds, I've found Colds, Slows and Debuffs to be an issue. I'd like to see how you mitigated those.

Thanks for posting those Hera, I'm afraid once again I was slacking on the shutter and didn't get any pics... I blame PLV. However I will say it was a pretty good turnout and we did get a few new Tankers to join us. Welcome one and all. Thanks to Ronin for running arcs and to Col, who through a vicious bug was made team lead as we LFG'd to Manti - but played along and lead the team aways, giving me a break. We had fun and a good amount of leveling last night on Torch. That said, this Saturday we'll be on Reunion at 10:00 AM PDT. And next week we're back on Everlasting to pay Lor and her group a visit. Hope to see you all there/s!

Hi all, We're back on Reunion this Saturday (9/18). We'll see there at 10:00 AM in King's Row by the Independence Port gate!

Huh, very strange, I just checked on two different Tanks and Kick from the Fighting pool does fire Gauntlet as do my choices from the Epics. So, perhaps any attack from a Tank causes the Gauntlet effect to fire. I have some debuffs from the Epics on other Tanks, I'll have to see if those cause Gauntlet to fire as well.

I believe Evasion is the "Taunt Aura" for Super Reflexes. So, if need be you should be able to slot that with Taunt Enhancements. I don't believe Power Pool powers inherent the Gauntlet ability, but I could be wrong. I'm sure someone will come along and correct me. So what you could be seeing is the Taunt from Evasion, and not from Enflame.

As Kilo stated another fun TT. Welcome to all the new players and we even got to see a few returning players for the "old days". Welcome one and all, it's great to see you! Thanks for leading the other missions team Kilo, and thanks to Ronin for leading the Numina's TF. No pics from me tonight as I was busy with PMs and keeping the team/s going. We'll see you next week on Torchbearer, 9/14. Meet in KR by IP gate at 6pm PDT/9pm EDT, and we'll get rolling from there.

Well, another TT for the books. Looked like a slow start but after a couple of PSAs by Kilo and Ronin, the Tanks came rolling in and it wasn't long before we had our 24 member league for BAF. Was one of the smoothest BAFs I've even been on. Thanks Kilo and Ronin for taking the reins and to everyone who had input on the trial. I think the changes to Tanks and a league full of 50+ Tanks made all the difference this time (also the TF wasn't as "new" as when we tried it on live). With the ease of success I'd say we more than made up for our last attempt. After the success came Lambda, and another successful run with just 10 of us. After that Market Crash with eight, then a couple of missions to finish the night. All in all, a full evening of fun. Thanks all for joining and thanks all who help lead the events, we couldn't do it without you. The gathering BAF begins MC I think, but was a 'splody and rad shot, so I posted it. MC, the end.... We'll see you all back on Excel next week for the star of September's TTs !

Hi all, I wanted to bring this forward as our All Tanker BAF will be this Tuesday 8/31, on Excelsior!! Please get your toons ready roll. We'll meet in King's Row as usual at 6PM PDT/9PM EDT and form up where ever we need to from there. Depending on turnout we may need to run this twice or have two team going (max per league on this one is 24(?))? Also, if you bring a lower level toon, you'll need to be ready to form teams as the emphasis on this event will be on the BAF first, with normal teaming to follow. See ya' there!

Lol, good one.

Two questions, 1) did you try the omega head/face pieces, and 2) will we see it at a TT? Also, I think that the veined costume pieces might work for certain areas (greens and browns being used).

Yes! Shield/SS is a classic, a great paring. And, the really cool thing is you have all these slots, and all these servers to try a new Tank out on... And.. Tanker Tuesday to join to try out your new combos (yes, I know shameless plug... but hey, it's my job).

My vote would be for Tanker, but DA does well on Brutes as well.

Irradiated Ground can be used as a proc AoE aura too. It's a very nice.

Mace is a solid choice for pairing with Shield, I personally would go with Fiery Melee, but I'm known to be bias towards it (see signature). Dark Melee is also very good with Shield and provides a single target heal power.

Fun times on Indom tonight. Two teams, one Manti (thanks for leading Ronin) and one 3 Tanker Yin (thanks MsA and Agoogala for being great teammates). Next week (8/31) is our all Tanker BAF on Excel - Stellar Power will be leading. So get your Tanks Incarnated up and join the fun!!

Hi all, Life's been pretty busy lately and I think I failed to mention that we'll be on Indom tonight for our usual "4th of the month" Tanker Tuesday Tour. We'll see you at the usual time (6:00 PM PDT/9:00 PM EDT). I'm not sure if I set the TankHQ message, so let people know that the event is as usual (I just forgot to update the MoTD). See you all soon!

I think it was on the Tanker forums, but someone had posted their Swamp Thing concept using Bio/Dark. That looked like a great match up (the way they had done it, costume/coloration included). I think it will ultimately depend on how your define "Swap Thing's" powers. I can see arguments for Invuln, WP, Bio, and Rad for Swampy. I can also see Arguments for SS, Dark, and maybe Energy, (could argue Fire, for Marvel's take on it, or at least Epic and Judgement Power). I think Bio's animations would be appropriate for the toon, but you could turn them off if you wanted (I do it all the time for non themed heroes). I'd go Bio/SS, Bio/Dark, or Bio/SS (I have to say Rad/Dark is an incredible combo, perhaps a "hidden (not so much) gem".

Had a good time on Reunion today. Two Tanks leveled to 50, Ronin and I, and we ran missions and a Citadel TF in 51 mins!! And a Tanky welcome to the new and returning Tankers who were able to join the event. Ding! 50! (although shot from a distance) Moar Herdz The starry after affect of Ronin dinging 50. And it looks like September 18th will be our next stop on Reunion. Take care all, we'll see you then!

Another fun run on Everlasting. Thanks to Ronin for running the Hess TF and Lor for running the missions team (I got to be lazy). **TTTR Tanker Tuesday Tour Reunion on 8/21 at 10:00 AM Pacfic **Our next regular TTT Indom on 8/24 6pm PDT/9pm EDT **And... for our 5th Tuesday we'll be back on Excel for an all Tanker BAF 8/31. Stellar Power will be leading) Our TT event started with the Rikti attempting to raid King's Row, which apparently I didn't get pics of... Next was Hess: And to end the evening we found a bunch of carnies to herd... We enjoyed, but I don't believe they did.

I'd say it would depend on the final concept you have. WP seems the most obvious for a "really tough human", Invuln (to me) would be some kind of enhancement, and Shield would put you in riot control/SWAT category (as PLV already mentioned). Of the three you mentioned, all three will be solid performers and there are some great builds both offered in this thread as well as on the rest of the Tanker forums. That said, I would like to add that Shield Charge is pretty freakin' awesome and hard to resist playing a Tanker. Just my 2 infs worth, but all of them would be a fun run to 50 and beyond.

Seemed to be that kind of night. Although, I have noticed that no matter when I snap a pic, I can't seem to capture all the mobs that I see on the screen. Not sure if that's a video card issue, a mechanic of the game, or a network issue. Anyways, seemed to not be the night for pics. Good thing we get a chance to take more every Tuesday! ;)

♪♫ Orkin we're number one, we get the job done...♫♪ Congratz on the level up. Great pic.

Hi all, Fun times on Torch tonight. A Citadel team and a Mission arc team running. Thanks MsA for leading the mission arc team, and we merged after for more teaming to end the evening. Unfortunately I was pretty busy during the TF and didn't get pics, hopefully someone else did. We're back on Everlasting, 8/17. Meet in KR by IP gate at 6pm PdT/9pm EdT, and we'll get rolling from there. **TTTR Tanker Tuesday Tour Reunion on 8/21 at 10:00 AM Pacfic **8/31 all Tanker BAF on Excel - Stellar Power will be leading

Hi all, Looks like the 21st is the day for this month's TT on Reunion. We'll see you at 10:00 AM PDT in King's Row by the Independence Port gate.

Great turnout tonight on Excel. Three teams, One Ms Liberty TF, lead by Kilo, and two missions teams. Thanks for taking the lead on the second one MsA and thank you for the Titan badge! And... down... Poor titan, just not enough for two teams of Tanks. And like all good citizens, the Tankers always take out the trash (Freaks). TTT on Torchbearer next week 8/10. Meet in KR by IP gate at 6pm PDT/9pm EDT, and we'll get rolling from there. **8/31 all Tanker BAF on Excel - Stellar Power will be leading
