I think Znail needs to go back to trolling other forums, and posting useless info there. Consider the following:
1) FACT: Cryptic lead designer admitted, on a public forum, that Scrappers could attain the same defense caps as a Tanker.
2) FACT: Cryptic lead designer admitted, on a public forum, that Tankers could not even come close to matching Scrapper damage output.
3) Opinion (shared by many I know): Scrappers, during most of the game, are preferred to Tankers in groups.
Gee, we can either believe Znail's arguments (based on assumptions,"statistics" and a clear bias), or a dev's statements, based on hard data. Wow, tough choice.

Tankers single target attacks do about as much as Scrappers do.

Golly, nearly fell off my chair laughing at that. You DO know that generally, all secondaries are capped at 75% effectiveness of the same primary, right? And that tankers generally slot primary damage-mitigating powers, while scrappers tend to slot primary damage-dealing powers?
Man, I've met biased people trying to defend their over-powered class (relative to another) by pulling fictitious statements and facts out of their a**, but you, sir, take the cake.
