Rangle M. Down

I haven't finished the first build, but it's already a very sturdy tank. I do have some issues with it on the BAF where the towers can hurt. I haven't taken her on any of the newer trials (Keyes, UGT, MoM or TPN) yet. Alt-itis has me distracted.

I haven't decided if I'm going to try the second build yet so I can't tell you how it plays. The second build doesn't have 123 end, but it's still nearly 120. I prefer the attack slotting on the second build to the first, so I'm sure I'll break down at some point and respec into the second build.

I did want to add that the Fury of the Gladiator's -res proc could be just as easily replaced by the dmg/end/recharge for a whole lot less inf.

Tankers cap at 3534, Brutes cap at 3212.7 hit points.

I've got a few Dark/Dark builds that I've sprinkled through the tank forums. Search for the name "Interruption" and posts by me.

So far everything that I take from your arguments is that you feel tanks are so overpowered in their role, that any minor change would make them even MORE overpowered. Are you afraid this will make them step on Brute or Scrapper's toes, or do you some how see Tanks as "the perfect beast" and should never be changed? I suspect you hate the idea that tanks have bruising in the first place. (As it is, Brutes and Scrappers can be built to be more survivable then some tanks, and some Tank builds can out damage some Brute/Scrapper builds. Been there, done that.) As someone who does play brute and scrappers I am trying to understand where you're coming from. Really, I am. I'm just not seeing it. Maybe I'm being dense here.

Again, I'm not arguing that an individual tank should be able to do more bruising/de-buffing then they already do. I'm not asking for an individual tank to be able to do more damage then they already do. I'm asking for a minor portion of the bruising effect be allowed to stack when other tanks are on the team. SEE that. OTHER TANKS, not the individual tank. What is so "OUTRAGEOUS" about that? WHY does allowing a SECOND or MORE tanks on a team to have some minor force multiplication get you in such a tizzy? I would like to see full team of tanks be barely able to do the same amount of -res a controller or defender could do on their own, if even that much. So let's see, 8 tanks compared to 1 Defender/Controller.. hmm... Yeah. WAY overpowered.... sigh.

Hard to argue about Blasters and Stalkers. Depending on the Scrappers and Brutes, I'm not sure it would be as problematic, but I could certainly be wrong.

Not everyone thinks there are major problems. The only thing that I would like to find is a way to make it less "undesirable" to have more then one tank on a team. Right now there's a stigma that a second tank on a team doesn't create a "force multiplier" or add as much as another AT, so "why bring another?". I can't think of another AT that has that kind of reputation in game. This is why I advocate a way of stacking a portion of bruising.

This may not be the perfect example, but here goes. A while ago, for one of the Tanker Tuesday events, we ran an all Tank Dr. Kahn task force. The settings were +0/x0, so it wasn't like we were going in at max diff. The team steam rolled through most of the content and were able to take down all the AVs, with the exception of Reichsman. With the 8 of us beating on him, and yes using the temp you get from the TF, we couldn't budge his health one iota. It wasn't until we grabbed some shivans and envenom daggers that we were able to knock him down. It always makes me wonder if any other "AT" team would have the same problem with Reichsman as we had without having to grab outside temp powers to make it work. Events like this are why I'd like to see bruising stack from other tanks.

Yep. Which is why I included repel in the comment.
