My Ice Armor/Stone Melee is a blast to play and I don't remember seeing another out and about. 

That would be a good combo, particularly once it matured thanks to all the KD in Stone Melee.  An Ice tank hardly needs the extra attention getter of Fault but the AOE KD and proc potential would be highly welcome.

Not sure how anti FotM as Stone/rad is listed as 27th most popular tanker and 5th most popular stone armor combo. It is however incredibly tough. 

Through IOs have incarnate soft capped def to SLFC, mid 50s def to EN, 30% psi.

 

Hard capped resist to all but psi which is at approx 80% it can be capped but at the cost of alot of psi def which is more useful as the psi attacks come with -recharge.

 

Rad attack comes with a good self heal a second damage aura. Radioactive smash with a force feedback proc goes someway to helping with the recharge problems as does running between mobs with ninja run giving time with out granite's -recharge.

 

I tried to make the most survivable tank possible with darkest night from the patron pools, void judgement the regen incarnate heal it's unlikable. 

 

I considered DM for its heal or ice sand stone for KD control but thought rad had the best combo of them.

Back on live my Invul/stone was a beast. Slowly leveling him back up.  Find that the two paired well together.  Maybe not the best combo, but that has never been what I look for. I look for a fun factor, and this combo nailed that for me.

 You can soft cap defense (especially with Storm Kick giving a defense bonus), great resists (and Psi resist!). Most all your attacks have the potential to stun, which stacks with your auras. I can literally jump in a group and have all of them stunned/mezzed/feared and not be doing anything.

I have a several ( 5 or 6) petless/semi-petless  masterminds doing 3/8 setting solo, Including one which is Beast/Trick Arrow. You can't get anymore Anti-FOTM then that.  

I have a AR/TA Blaster.

My next level 50 tanker is probably going to be a Shield/Fire.  Concentrating on the primary and secondary powers like I usually do, this is going to turn into an AoE queen.   No control at all; took AirSup to fill the gap.  Looking forward to seeing what the tanker changes will do for her.

That combination works quite well, I had one on Live.  Not quite as tough as Invuln but not squishy at all.

I have a baby SD/PSI which I'm soloing up right now.

 

Things are a little tough but am only one level away from SOs.

 

It's sort of an RP character, but she is clearing solo missions pretty painlessly.

 

Am looking forward to what she can to post-incarnate.

Playing around with tankers on the test server. To me I like WP/StJ the most "perfect" personally, the whole aesthetic of it is amazing.

You don't need the extra control, SD on tanks gets pretty silly numbers already. Fire already inflicts the status effect of 'dead' more than fast enough; after the changes a lot of Tank combos, like this one, are just going to be straight bullshit with tank defense numbers and increased damage leading to having basically no flaws.
