Dain Bramage Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 *laughs in Invuln/SS tank with KB -> KD soft control* I am glad you're enjoying your build. No doubt there. However IMHO I'll also agree that part of tanking is agro management as well as soaking/avoiding damage for the team/self. YMMV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Z Bubba Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 I have seen far too many posts from blasters saying they can tank. It's sad really. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solarverse Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 (edited) To the OP This is my Stalker's Stats. His stats are about as good as you are going to get on a Stalker. Capped Resist to all but Psi, Negative and Toxic, Psi is near cap missing the mark by less than 1%, Negative is 15% from Cap. Defense is soft capped to Melee and Regen is at 441% and that is without Melee Core which brings it up to 713% Regen. I stood Zero chance.

I could find a way to do it with a blaster. I won't, because it would be a ridiculous amount of work and easier to accomplish with a defender. Or, you know, an actual tank. But I could. Get busy living... or get busy dying. That's goddamn right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except I outlived him (the tank) and kept fighting long long long after he died. you may have been the most individually survivable character on the team, no arguing that (though with IOs etc any given powerset/AT can wind up in that spot). but, part of a tank's role is not just not dying but keeping the rest of your team alive by holding aggro (which stalkers are not good at), and, the title of this thread is "best tank in the game" which is quite an audacious claim 🙂 what you are actually describing is really scrapperlock, which is now Not Just For Scrappers™️ Edited October 30, 2020 by Machariel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oubliette_Red Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 The best tank in the game is the one on the team effectively holding aggro, while stomping/stunning/bashing the enemies, surviving their attacks and minimizing the damage to the squishies on the team. I couldn't care less what powersets they use, I don't even care about their AT if they are effectively 'tanking'. Effective tanker > FotM Tank. 🙂 1 Dislike certain sounds? Silence/Modify specific sounds. Looking for modified whole powerset sfx? Check out Michiyo's modder or Solerverse's thread. Got a punny character? You should share it.

Frunobulax Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 oh yeah well ALL of my toons can tank Spoiler if you count varying periods of time which sometimes may only be measured by planck lengths 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
