I dont know what it is, it just feels so heroic to make that one last stand... thats why on countless occasions i make it a priority to be the last one to leave the fight... even if im fudged from the very beginning...

OFT!!!! Best bit about being a tanker imho: 'RUN! I'll hold them off!!!' and everyone makes it away. Brilliant feeling knowing you're the only thing stopping a wipe...

You might call me crazy but I love taking the alpha strike in a fight...

Its a good job you enjoy it since it's kinda our job

Once a Tank, Always a Tank!!!

I'm getting CoV the weekend and I'm dead set on making a MM. However, since I'm relatively new to CoX as a whole (WoW Veteran for 1 year!), I could do with some advice.
So, if you please, a list of pros and cons to the MM primaries and secondaries. Normally I wouldn't ask, but in this game choosing even one wrong power can totally screw you up!

Revel in my mad photoshop skillz! i used various filters to give a it a comic book type look. What do you think?

Its all a matter of personal choice really.
Mr.Tanktastic is a Inv/SS and I was very determined he would be nothing else, as it fits in with the way I think of the character.
Tbh I screwed him up a bit in that I'm now level 20 and STILL don't have Temp Invulnerability (although I have unyielding and Invincibility) and I took hurdle but then got fly as my travel power (I took Air Superiority as an extra attack as its pretty damn handy).
I can still take a good beating and dish it out pretty well, I took Resist Physical Damage at level 1 and I picked up handclap along the way, which I regret now. I also want super jump instead of fly (although I'll probably keep Air Superiority as its a nice attack and fits in with the SS set, as it knocks opponents over like 95% of the time and it chains nicely).
I'm just waiting to get to level 24 and do the respec trial so I can 'fix' him - he's my first ever character and I was still a n00b when I made him (still am in some ways) but now I understand a lot more about the mechanics of the game and want to do him right.
Plus, Knockout blow has the funniest animation ever. FACT. -
The night before last I tanked properly for the first time. Id not played the game until about 3 weeks ago so the ED nerf didnt really affect me. Heroes talking about the good old days simply reminded me of old people going on about how they didnt used to have to lock their doors
Now level 20, I had solod pretty much all the way up to 16 apart from a couple of times Id teamed with my brother (a fire/fire) blaster, when it wasnt so much tanking as scranking.
I got an invite to tank the Synapse Task Force so I accepted and met up with my team (3 controllers, a PB and a scrapper) in Skyway City and off we went.
The PB was only level 18ish and had not yet got dwarf form. One of the trollers SKd me up from 16 to 19 (I think he was auto-exemp down to 20 as well) and the other ranged in level from 16-19. One of the trollers had some healing powers, which was great and throughout the TF he did an amazing job, considering it wasnt his forte. One of the trollers had an awesome power which summoned 3 decoys (I think he was an illusionist but Im not entirely sure) which really helped out in some sticky situations where we aggrod too much and it looked like we might wipe.
For the first few door missions things went smoothly, apart from one of the trollers super-speeding into everything (which caused a team wipe twice throughout the whole TF VERY annoying). I used taunt, I jumped around like a mad man gathering aggro, and I even used handclap, which up till that point I regretted taking, to knock people over and get them off my team.
I died a couple of times, which usually caused a couple of other folks who couldnt escape in time to faceplant but generally things went really well and I felt like I was the only thing stopping us from dying on multiple occasions. During the course of the TF I went up to level 18 and got Invincibility, but found that running that and unyielding against the clockwork was suicide as my End dropped faster than a cheap ******, so mostly I ran toggle free.
I was tanking well and really enjoying it until the PB hit level 20 and got dwarf. Then I found it very difficult to maintain aggro as my end was dropping fast compared to his which didnt seem to drop at all, so he kind of took over as off tank which made things easier for me but at the same time made me feel a bit redundant.
We finally got to the Clockwork King who was a level 20 purple rated Arch Villain and I tanked him really well. He hit me damn hard a couple of times, which caused me to panic, but luckily our healing controller was ready to save my butt! The ONLY person to drop below ¾ health during the whole fight was me from what I saw and it made me feel so proud when he dropped and we got Mission Complete!
Im proud to be a Tanker I really did feel as though I was the wall, stopping the team from dying. Someone moaned about me taking point and acting like I was in charge but luckily the more experienced players pointed out that if I didnt go first, theyd all probably die, which again made me feel proud.
So a big thanks to Chloride for sking me and conjuring those kick [censored] decoys, Capt. Europe for getting dwarf and helping me tank and Doc Rockerfellow for being a healing guru! Sorry if I spelt your names wrong!
So to conclude, Tankers rule!

'Tank It!' Adapted from Michael Jacksons Beat It:
I told you its too hard to grind around here
The dont like your face, we better disappear
The fire's in their eyes and their words are really clear
So Tank it, just Tank it
Im gonna run, you better do what you can
Don't wanna faceplant, don't be a macho man
You wanna be tough, better do what you can
So Tank it, cus I dont want XP debt!
Just Tank it, Tank it, Tank it, Tank it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
Just Tank it, Tank it
Just Tank it, Tank it
Just Tank it, Tank it
Just Tank it, Tank it
They're out to get us, better leave while we can
Don't wanna be a Scranker, you wanna be a Tank
You wanna stay alive, I heal as much as I can
So Tank it, just Tank it
You have to show them that you're really not scared
You're playin' with your life, this ain't no truth or dare
They'll kick you, then they blast you,
Then they'll tell you it's fair
So Tank it, cus I dont want XP debt!
Just Tank it, Tank it, Tank it, Tank it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
Just Tank it, Tank it, Tank it, Tank it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
Just Tank it, Tank it, Tank it, Tank it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
Just Tank it, Tank it
Tank it, Tank it, Tank it

'We don't need another Hero (CoH style)' Adapted from the Tina Turner song We dont need another Hero (Thunderdome):
Out in the Hollows
Amongst all the wreckage
Cant make the same mistake this time
We are the only ones left
The last of the team
We are the ones they left behind
And I wonder if the difficulty level is ever gonna change
Living under the fear till only purples and reds remain
We dont need another hero!
We just need to find the way out!
Were lost in this damn warehouse!
We just wanna get out!
Looking for something
We can rely on
Theres gotta be a way out up there
Love and compassion
Their day is coming
Im sure weve already been up these stairs
And I wonder if the difficulty level is ever gonna change
Living under the fear till only purples and reds remain
All the team say
We dont need another hero!
We just need to find the way out!
Were lost in this damn warehouse!
We just wanna get out!
So what do we do with our lives
Do you we go to Perez Park
Will our story shine like a light
Or end in the dark
Give it all or nothing
We dont need another hero
We just need to find the way out
Were lost in this damn warehouse
We just wanna get out! -

Here are a selection of my greatest hits! More on the way...
'I need a Healer!' Adapted from I need a Hero by Bonnie Tyler
Where have all the good Healers gone and where are all my heals?
Here's the great Mr.Tanktastic to fight for what he feels
Isn't there a defender who is full on empathy?
Late at night I try to tank but faceplant and I dream of what I need!
I need a healer!
I'm holding out for a healer for the upcoming fight!
He's gotta be good and he's gotta be fast
and better not be sh1te!
I need a healer!
I need a healer for the upcoming fight!
He's gotta be sure and he's gotta heal soon
And he's gotta heal all of my life
Heal all my life
Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasies
Somewhere just beyond my reach
There's someone blasting me
Racing on the Green Line and super speeding along the street
It's gonna take a Supervillain to knock me off my feet!
I need a healer!
I'm holding out for a healer for the upcoming fight!
He's gotta be good and he's gotta be fast
and better not be sh1te!
I need a healer!
I need a healer for the upcoming fight!
He's gotta be sure and he's gotta heal soon
And he's gotta heal all of my life
Heal all my life
In the Hollows neath the heavens above
Where Outcast lightning strikes at me
I gotta hope that there's someone somewhere healing me
Through the wind and the chill and the pain
and the Circle of Thorns guy in the hood
I can feel his heals like a fire in my blood!
I need a healer!
I'm holding out for a healer for the upcoming fight!
He's gotta be good and he's gotta be fast
and better not be sh1te!
I need a healer!
I need a healer for the upcoming fight!
He's gotta be sure and he's gotta heal soon
And he's gotta heal all of my life
Heal all my life

In the words of Bonnie Tyler (if she played a Tanker in CoH)
Where have all the good Healers gone and where are all the heals?
Here's the great Mr.Tanktastic to fight the rising odds
Isn't there a white knight who is full empathy?
Late at night I tank and I faceplant and I dream of what I need!

There's someone reaching back for me
Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat
It's gonna take a Supervillain to knock me off my feet!
I need a healer!
I'm holding out for a healer for the upcoming fight!
he's gotta be good and he's gotta be fast
and better not be sh1te!
I need a healer!
I need a healer for the upcoming fight!
He's gotta be sure and he's gotta be soon
And he's gotta heal all my life
Heal all my life
In the Hollows neath the heavens above
Out where the lightning strikes the sea
I gotta hope that there's someone somewhere watching me
Through the wind and the chill and the rain
and the storm and the flood
I can feel his heals like a fire in my blood!
I need a healer!
I'm holding out for a healer for the upcoming fight!
he's gotta be good and he's gotta be fast
and better not be sh1te!
I need a healer!
I need a healer for the upcoming fight!
He's gotta be sure and he's gotta be soon
And he's gotta heal all my life
Heal all my life!!!
A-thank you!
