Energy Aura for Tankers?


Recommended Posts

I only ever played one Tanker on live so I wasn't super familiar with their set options, I had no idea they didn't have access to Energy Aura.  This seems really abnormal, was there ever a reason why they couldn't have access to it? Can this be rectified?  I was well into brainstorming an EA/TW Tanker only to get home and find out the unfortunate, and somewhat baffling truth.

Looking for the post from the powers guy a few weeks ago (maybe a month, I dunno) but basically Tankers will never get EA in its current form because it would be too good with Tanker values.

Dev Captain Powerhouse on EA for Tankers

Quote

Short answer: the set wont be ported as is. It's defenses are too high, Energy Drain's +Def is too much, so that power likely has to be replaced with something else for the tanker version, at minimum.

Ice in a sense was the original Energy Aura. It was determined Brutes needed something not based on slowing Enemy attacks because of Fury.  So EA was a replacement for Ice on Brutes 

 

So tankers have always had Ice.  

 

 


ICE ICE BABY!

Now STOP!  Freeze up and LISTEN!
CoH back with brand new INVENTIONS.
Somethin', grabs a hold of me tightly.
Ice sword to the face, then swingin' my MIGHTY!
Will it ever stop?
Yo,  I don't know.
Turn off the lights, and I'll glow!
To the extreme, I rock the crooks wearin' sandals.
Light up the map, cube who can't handle

ICE TANK BABY!

TAUNT!
Bum rush the mobs and make them go BOOM
I'm arrestin their ass, every last little goon!
Deadly, when I drop it sub-zero
Can't touch me boys, cause I'm the TANK HERO!
Wear your warm clothes
No you can't run away
Your feet froze to pavement
This Ice Tank don't play!
If there was a problem.
Yo I solved it!
Paddy wagon for the goons, while the DJ revolves it....

ICE TANK BABY!

Nope only been in Chicago end of August beginning of September, and apart from the wind it was quite pleasant 😄



Basically, the streets can get icy enough that you can lock all the brakes up, hitch a mast and sail down the roads...

And if your car is sufficiently small, you can push it around yourself...

This is really off-tangent, but since this was talking about an energy crisis and tankers, I thought it would be really neat to suggest an Oil-based defense set for Tankers. You know, like Oil Wrestling... your character is really slippery. They would probably be weak to fire though.

 

Thematically, I can really get behind all the resulting puns from this.

1 bucket of brain bleach please!!  Oil wrestling for some of the Tanks I've seen is an image I want no part of!
