First into a mob, sure. Actually managing aggro is vastly up to if they took their taunt power or not. Mobs flee scrappers. They don't with brutes or tanks. Part of the reason why I went Spines/elec as a brute.

Go scrapper if you do as scrappers benefit more from +dmg.

More so as a brute since they have a higher cap on resists, and they get a taunt aura so mobs stick.

Enhancement text is virtually impossible to read.

KB into a corner or against a near wall would be one way. KB as alpha strike can also work well depending the situation. I used KB on my Claws/regen scrapper quite a bit that way.

Fire/rad controller and corruptor. Kin/sonic defender. Stone/* tank. Could min/max maybe a bit more, but that's rather solid.

That's a player and not a build.

Now try that while mezzed.

The Ice Emp troller sounds fun, maybe I will try that out. Note Ice has low damage so soloing or on smaller teams speed can be slow(er) until later on. Most fun I had playing Emp was Ill/emp. It could give a MM like vibe. Dark/dark with its number of pets could be another gateway into a different AT. This isn't too say Ice is a bad primary. Far from it. I would just go with something else if I was doing smaller teams/duos.

Actually, Savage and Regen has a bit of synergy. Since Savage has an innate +recharge component, and regen is clicky heavy. Savage/regen brute. Actually in the game. Already a thread in the brute forums about how Savage is under performing. Synergy or not, Savage's damage is lacking. /regen for a brute only really comes into its own with IOs factored in and is going to have issues in various situations before that. /wp is a far better set on a brute.

Would make more sense if it was an actual Defender.

On a team with multiple support characters each one's support is less needed. I've been on teams where the idea of a single corr being enough support or having enough control is rather laughable.

Not my main and also what my global was based on. I did reroll the one I was most sentimental about but instead of Claws/regen scrapper I went Claws/wp brute. To me this feels more like the official version.

Just did this mission. She's annoying to find.

Ice is one of the strongest sets in terms of control. It is offset by its lack of damage. I know people have talked about it needing to be tweaked, but I don't see it.

Honestly, this is me. I have one tank for the time I want to play that role, but I can easily make more than the two brutes I'm currently running. I might once I get the two I have to 50.

Since Incarnates can happen, I think it is simply more than just those two ATs. Certainly controllers can be made to be rather strong, see Ill/rad.

End game wise on a steam rolling team, Rad will feel less useful as activation time on the toggles might become slightly annoying. That's about the only downside to Rad really. I read "leans heavily into the support side" as going Thermal. Either will work. Rad/sonic is one of the only defender rerolls I would do from my previous time playing the game. Never played Thermal, but I don't see how it can't be good for what you want.

Ah, playing the elitist card. FYI, there are people who are actually new to this game and don't spill out the vast knowledge you seem to claim in having.

I feel like I read somewhere eventually a web version of the tool was going to be made, but I can't recall when that statement was made so I don't know how valid it is.

I had thought of starting a thread for Sat. morning TFs but just hadn't yet. That's one time frame which should be easy to pull off on a weekly basis.

KB can be offset with Hover. DB also has a heal and -tohit. I can see a complaint in that it is DoT heavy where blasters want something with more upfront damage, but I have liked the set so far. Not every set has to be awesome to you.
