having alot of fun as a tank. i like leading teams and being up front and centre, and doing/taking the damage.

i tried my blaster again today and really realise how I hate sitting back.

Id like eventually to get an epic arch type.

id like to be able to tank in the dwarf form while still doing damage, and do high damage in the nova form. I also like aoe attacks, at least one or two of them which knockdown.

which is the better one to choose for those requirements?

whats the best I can do on cold/fire/energy etc resists? right now they are at 30 ish resist. but i havent fully slotted them.

someone told me to get rid of resist elements all together as an invul. and that i can get 90's smashing and lethal without tough so take that out too.

do I need protection from those other types of attacks? i went in a mission with energy attacks i think and i got owned of course. but if i cant get it higher than 30's , im still gonna get owned.

am I doing something wrong? were tanks only meant to awesomely tank smashing / lethal?

so finally fully slotted im in the 90's tanking fine.

also using my sweep combos now. love em. good knock back. its a bit end hungry.

would you suggest 3 damage, 2 recharge and 1 endurance reduction on my attacks?

i have stamina slotted well too.

thanks for the replies. I just got the power unstoppable. seems really harsh for only 3 minutes and then u go all the way down in end and hp...

seems a harsh drawback for being the final power that gives you the 90% resist like the other tanks.

i been power leveling characters using ae to try and find the best one for me.

prolly went a little further into some than i should have once i realised it isnt the strongest. or suited to my play style.

i think group knock back attacks are great for the tank.

not so good for tank is it? lacks knock backs, and knock backs (though sometimes annoying) are good for a breather, if you have a weak heal or overly tough dps for a level 50?
