Atheism

I kind of know that my tanks won't be doing as much damage as a brute...

I don't care for Ice Melee, but with my SD/SS, I do feel like a brute.

Yup, you can solo content +2/x8 with IOs, but can you do it without them?


Melee characters with IOs usually don't need to be buffed, unless they're FA or Regen.

lulz.

With a tank on the team, you could easily replace those one or two buffers with scrappers or blasters, so it works out in my opinion.

I don't know what kind of tanks you've been playing with or the kind of tanks you own.

I do and sadly, still not as survivable as my tanks.

I'm glad you got that acknowledged.

That's the thing, my tanks don't need buffs; brutes do. A tank with seven blasters is just as good as a brute with seven buffers keeping him alive.

Maybe your tanks are, but mine aren't. I may not do the same damage as brutes, but I'm sure as hell a lot more survivable than they ever will be.

Is this after the brute says "brb hitting hosp"?

Your tanks suck, mine don't. Perhaps you should try slotting yours for damage, like I do.

It's pretty good at making you delete your characters because of the frustration the set causes or did cause.

This isn't /b/.

Teaming with you would make my game less enjoyable.

I wouldn't want to.

Geko, I'm with you all the way. I hate knockback with a passion and I also think it should be changed to knockdown. Knockback does more harm than good.

You're making it sound like tanks don't do any damage.

I would say that Bots' AoE damage shouldn't be compared to Thugs because in my opinion, it's a lot better.

Three slotting those powers is not overkill. I have those powers slotted that way for my Invul.

This is where the problem comes in with me. I'm not going to chase them period. If I'm on my tank and they're still taunted, then you're safe. If not, good luck on hoping you just didn't knockback a boss.

You indeed are correct when it came to the double stacking of the RttC. However, I think it's around 166 or 167.xx hp/sec without the double stacking. I would have to check it again tonight.

While I hate knockback with a passion, I think this is a terrible idea. My proposel (although I know it won't happen) is to allow players to turn their knockback powers into knockdown. This would be a choice so you wouldn't be forced into it.

That's just me though.

Yup, and with two scrappers. Spines/SR and Fire/Fire.

What does a tanker being tougher than a brute in pve have to do with a Granite pvping?

Seriously? A Granite? I'm going to guess your brute is pretty squishy if you need to fight a Granite tank.
