    Myth 1: Tanks with taunt can obviously manage aggro

    Herein lies the basis for many of the rants that appear on our forums. However, it’s plain just not true. A tanker that can’t manage aggro without taunt may not have the ability to manage aggro with taunt. Being a Tanker is a mindset, not a power. Just because a Tanker has taunt in his arsenal does not increase his Tanker mindset by even a little amount.

    Now, obviously some Tankers can handle aggro much better with taunt than without. My point here is just that this is not always the case. Being able to manage aggro is a skill that is independent of the taunt power. I’ve seen tanks that can manage aggro quite well without taunt, and have seen tanks with taunt unable to keep a team safe.

    QFT

    I have had my brush with this. Tanking is a Mindset and honestly some are adept to it others need to get into it and there are others that just cant grasp it.. its ok. Trust me I suck at blasting..lol. Thats a mindset in itself.
  2. Awsome Guide As for tanking with or without agro, I have dont both and I have one Level 50 Without it and one level 50 with it. I feel I do the same job however to pull that for off a team mate is such a luxury and if there is room in the build get it. You may never use it but there will come a time were it would be usefull and for that time its there.
  3. Grats to you Guys thats Awsome!!!
  4. Excellent guide and right into my favorites.
  5. WOW, i just check it out and thats cool, says who was in the scren shot and everything... thats great. Major Props
  6. I also did Numinia's TF about 1.5 months ago and you dont get the Jurassic badge for it. Below is the GM response i got

    Thank you for contacting City of Heroes Support regarding The Solution badge from defeating Jurassik in the Numina Task Force. The Jurassik found in the Numina Task Force no longer awards The Solution badge and is working as designed at this time. The only mob that will award The Solution Badge is the Jurassik found in Crey's Folly, as this mob is more difficult than that of the one found in the Numina Task Force. If you defeat Jurassik in Crey's Folly and meet the damage/ team requirements, the character will receive The Solution badge.

    Hope this helps

    As a side note faught him in Creys folly 2 weeks later and did get the badge.

    I've seen more than a few people crying for Ice Tankers to have their own place to give feedback. And since we've already planned to change Unyielding some, a few think we're ignoring Ice in favor of Invulnerabilty. So I wanted to start this thread.

    Here's a couple of changes coming that I think will help:

    Reduced Accuracy of Minion level Turrets from 75% to 58%.
    Reduced Accuracy of Lieutenant level Turrets from 94% to 65%.
    Reduced Accuracy of Boss level Turrets from 113% to 75%.
    Reduced Accuracy of Snipers from 75% to 65%.
    Reduced Accuracy of Archvillains from 90% to 75%.
    Reduced Accuracy of Giant Monsters from 90% to 75%.
    Reduced Accuracy of Monument Minions from 75% to 58%.
    Reduced Accuracy of Rularuu Bosses from 90% to 75%.


    BIG thanks to Circeus, for his tireless devotion to all that is Ice Tankerish. Hip hip hooray!

    PLEASE keep the discussion limited to Ice Tankers. Anything else will be removed.

    Let me start by saying im not a Ice/Fill in the blank Tank but I have to put the question , "How does this specificially help Ice Tanks?!? Not to insult you States but this looks like a fix for everyone not just the Ice Tanks. Im sure the Ice tanks dont like there intelligence insulted and unfortunantly this does, however it is nice they can voice there concern in there own thread.
