No reason to apologize, in all those responses I did garner nuggets of knowledge that formulated the info I needed.

I consider this thread a win for me, us, and other newbs just learning the ropes who might have the same questions. 

 

So thank you.

@Ignatz the Insane As penance, you must now make a regen tank!

Basically there's lots of ways to skin a cat...

<Cat> HEY!  *SCRATCH*

TANK!

<Cat> SCRATCH
JEEZE!

<Cat> Adamantium BEEYOTCH!

Anyhow, there's LOTS of ways to accomplish lots of things in the game.

Now, if you'll excuse me.  I need to go find a hot poker to cauterize this bleeding...

Don't know if we are still posting 'unstoppable' tanker build in this thread or we've moved on, but here's my stone/em completed build.  I sacrificed a few slots on granite QoL (run speed uniques) and ended up faster than base run speed in granite.  With that and the glory that is combat teleport + fold space, the movement drawbacks of granite are easily compensated for.  Honestly, a simple combat teleport to target bind is easy and might be more fun than running/flying around.  I have no ranged attacks, because I am the ranged attack (also i have no slots for it lol.  the ranged dmg purple set has psi defense instead of psi resist which is useless for this guy so gloom/mu/etc are out.  Char with the purple hold set works for the set bonuses but then isn't a very good actual attack).

 

The new energy melee is pretty great too, I'm amazed how hard total focus -> energy transfer hits for a tanker with this much survivability.  Plus energy transfer's -hp means more resist (scaling resist proc) and a chance to trigger the preventative medicine absorb proc

 

Here's the numbers, with one stack of the tanker +res proc (the proc is in mud pots and every real fight has more than one stack, 2 stacks will cap psi resist)

Screw all you nerds.  I play a Dark Armor tanker and I don't Tank or Stealth.

You play a Tanker that doesn't Tank?

Uh.  Isn't that akin to a petless mastermind?

Or a toon that simply takes as many ancillary power pool powers and ignores primary and secondary pics?

I was just teasing you guys.  That said, I have found myself rolling tankers primarily because they are the only AT where the cone attacks don't suck.

lol, I just rolled a Dark Armor tank to TANK lol.  But I built him that way.  My "main" is a dark/dark brute, that is tanky, but teams may not believe he is tanking...at all.  No taunt, semi-steralthed.  loves to range a half hallway further than the team for fresh spawns...
