It would likely be considered "petitioning for a change," if memory serves.

No, but a tank using Parry slotted for defense would be softcapped to melee defense, on top of any resistances they may have, from level 16 on up.

Parry/Divine Avalanche is probably the exact reason tanks and brutes don't have Broadsword or Katana.

yeah, but it's only a temporary boost. plus tanks are supposed to have awesome Def and res. scrappers are high damage and speed with some def and res, tankers are all def and res moderate to good damage and slow to moderate speed.

brutes however have better damage but the recharge of the powers is still gonna be slower than a good scrapper/ stalker's

my point, theres nothing wrong with a tank or brute having extra def or res for a short period of time.
