Footstomp is the business, it only knocksBACK if the enemies are closer to grey..or your know underlings/small. Everything else bounces up and lands on their [censored]. I sometimes open with it, but as said my experience is bruting, so build fury -> footstomp -> giggle..I mean laugh. LAUGH.

I don't have room in mine for that proc as I have perfect zinger: chance for psi damage. Just so that I can stamp my foot so hard it hurts your brain!!!

Erm... Footstomp is a fairly wide, high-damage PBAoE knockDOWN attack and is one of the best means for a Superstrength toon to hold aggo. I could easily tank for an 8-man team just by spamming Footstomp. That said, I'd drop taunt before I dropped either Footstomp or Invincibility. Invincibility is simply too good a defence buff to pass up, and Footstomp is only available to a Tanker after level 38.

hmm, my bad then, it says knockBACK in MIDs, at least in my version. Other than that, I agree that its great to get aggro with, after all, i use the PB version all the time to draw some heat away from the squishes.
What I meant was that "if you only rely on taunt and gauntlet to get aggro, and dont have your aura, a power like footstomp might scare you off from using it as it looks like it makes minions fly all over the place and make you lose control over their aggro," -as we've already established that the player in question DONT have the best understanding of game mechanics..
as i only took a quick glance, checking out his primaries its also possible that he indeed took footstomp and passed on hurl instead..

Energy Aura, Super Reflexes & Ice Armour are defence based sets - others such as stone, invul, wp etc use combinations of resistance/defence or in the case of wp includes +Regen and -foe ToHit

If you're going to count Energy Aura am assuming you're taking villains too. Which means 4, Ninjitsu

Also, @ Phobos, AFAIK, "Heroside" means FF, Ice and SR. Although technically only FF is "pure" defence since Ice has Hoarfrost and SR has scaling resistances. In CoV, there are Ninjitsu and EA too.
