My Tank Mindset...

I am the tank.
I am the line.
It starts with me.
It ends with me.
I am the fool who rushes in.
Where wise men fear to tread.


I am Heatstroke level 50 Fire/Fire tank. I will kill you before you hurt my team.

I am Excalibur Level 50 Inv/Nrg tank with Perma Dull Pain. I will laugh at you while you try to whittle down my massive hit points and get through my soft capped defense while I taunt and entice you to attack me while my team takes you down.

I am Apex Level 50 WP/SS tank with Rage set on Auto. His motto.. Beat me if you can.. Survive if I let you. Sure you can try to kill me but the ridicolus regen I have will make it hard and the ridiculous stamina means I can do this all day buddy...

I am Avalance level 50 Ice/Stone tank. Bewteen taunt. chilling embrace and icicles you might not even realize there is a team. And between Fault and Tremor I can either keep you nicely stunned or flat on your back.. You chose.

I am ShellShock level 50 Elec/SS tank. I tank those things other tanks are scared to do. Malta ?? HA Cant drain my end.. but I can sure drain yours. Carnies ?? No problem sign me up... Sure Toxic and Dark bother me some.. but with Energize almost perma like Gloria Gaynor, I will survive...

I am Majestic Level 50 ShieldSS tank. Ill be too bisu looking good whiltry to take me down but since I am soft capped to almost everything its sure gonna be hard.. especially when you are either knocked down my my shield or footstomp...

The Devs suck..
The Devs dont listen...
The Devs dont care...



oh wait....


YAY DEVS !!!!

I honestly think I am going to cry with happiness !!!!!

My fear was that people would totally abandon redside because the blueside market was better..

Is it just me??? This thread makes no sense...

Give mercs the ablity to swap ammo like Dual Pistols...

Ive skipped them if I dont like what the PPP gives or if it just doesnt fit my character concept. Neither of my Brutes, both my MM's have a PPP. My Corruptors, VEAT and my Dom all have them.

Or this one

Dominators originally did more damage while domination was running and less when it was off. To eliminate that On/Off feeling the devs buffed Dominator base damage a while back and removed the damage increase from domination. Now the dominator does more damage all the time and I believe its values are higher than a corruptor.

Im bringing all my villians hero side and then having them fall back to vigilante status as this was their background anyway. Their faction is called THUGS aka The Hero UnderGround Society so it makes sense for them to be undercover heroes but there was no GR then so I couldnt actually play it out.

I love Doms. I like controllers as well, however I enjoy the Dom playstyle much better. Many of my friends that I play with have no idea about villain side AT's at all. I think Doms are going to surprise a great many people and hopefully it will lead to a rise in the population.

I am planning to bring my dominators to rogue status so I can play them hero side as well as villian side. Many people I have talked to seem to know little about Doms. Doms are apparently one of the least played and I think misunderstoof AT's.

What are your thoughts on ths ??

Never. Im always tweaking always looking to make something better and I currently have 35+ 50's... soon to be more one GR drops... Always looking at IO/HO combinations and how I can better a power or improve a toon.

In fact I am looking over all villains now in anticipation of Going Rogue.

Not a real badge kind of guy unless it leads to an accolade, and I dont even have all those.

been waiting for years for this.. im rolling it day one !!!!

I Like the villian epic better in many ways. Im definitely making another dominator going to 50 and THEN going to turn him rogue. Technically all my heroes are undercover villians so they should go all the way hero and then fall back to vigilante but that is just way too much work.

One of the things that always gets me about the " healer " issue is simply that so many teams wont even TRY to do anything without a healer. Many times a healer is simply a safety blanket or my greatest fear, a license to play wild and loose because there is a healer.

The other thing i cant stand is the "micromanaging mother" healer. I was on a team with my level 50 Rad/Mental Blaster and I was the only blaster on the team. The healer starts in with this.. Ill keep an eye on the blaster blah blah blah.. make sure you dont get too far away.. yadda yadda.. after a few minutes of that crap I was like..

Look. I dont need you.. Ive played this guy to level 50 so I know what I am doing. Your RA's. Ive got Drain Psyche I can heal and buff myself. Plus i have trays full of green and blues.. If I die.. Ive got wakies.. If Im stunned Ive got break frees and because Im Rad/Mental I can STILL throw out three ranged attacks if im stunned or held..

So please stop worrying about me the poor lil old blaster and please stand back as I go kill that whole mob over there with Build Up Aim. Irradiate, Psychic Shockwave and THEN my Nuke..

This my build on live.

It a lil over 30% melee defense, but haa lots of regen and recovery built in.

You have to realize something. You say why cant they get a new power for once...

There was a time there was no Plant, no Thermal, No Cold, No Trick Arrow.

So controllers HAVE gotten new powers.

IMO an excellent and severely underrated combo.

ELECTRIC.... oh wait...
