Choosing between Tanker and Brute

[Archmage1000]

Whats the census on playing on those 2 characters.  Tanker or Brute

 

Is it worth it to play Tanker  for solo content since they did get a buff, or just stick with the Brute for solo

Tanker - AoEs are much more fun to use thanks to increased radius. Great base survivability + juicy ATOs let you build for max damage. With procs especially you can go surprisingly far. Coupled with no reliance on Fury or any special mechanics, and with the convenience of strong aggro keeping things nice and tight, you end up with a character that is extremely easy to play.

Brute - Fury is still a great boon early on. Brutes will still deal more damage than Tankers as a general rule. Won't ever touch Tanker survivability, but many would argue Brute survivability is still enough to handle whatever you'll face.

If ALL you do is solo, Id go with Brute.  Fury is a fantastic mechanic when leveling, and will still leave you with more damage at 50.  The Brute will be more fragile, but for solo content, the difference wont matter - both are tough enough for anything in the game.

 

If you want to tank for teams, a tank will be a better choice - it gets tougher, earlier, and always will be.  The tank will do WAYY less damage while leveling, but by 50 youll be within spitting distance.

 

Both are awesome.  It goes to your priorities.

Do you want to be locked into your first attack; or would you rather be locked into your first armor power?
