The Nation

Just a quick update: I gave my Ice Tanker Tough and Weave. He is nigh untouchable now. Also, my Willpower Tanker has Tough, and his survivability is much better. He takes less damage than he regenerates finally. I think there is hope for my Shield Tanker now. It is harsh to have so little amount of attacks at level 26, but I have to admit, it is worth it. Thanks for the input guys and gals.

I've noticed a huge difference with my Fire Tanker, but my Invulnerability Tanker has (knock on wood) not had any problems even on +4 runs. I guess the last reason I'm not a crazy awesome Tanker is the fact that I've never really explored IOs. I've played since before CoV and never really got into the crafting system. I know it makes a huge difference, but I've never honestly given it a try. I used to do Hamidon runs for better enhancers.

Thanks for the advice. I've already given my Fire Tanker Tough, and I'm probably going to give it to my Dark Tanker and Shield Tanker (who is unfortunately my softest one at the moment). I guess the next big question is how many Endurance reductions does everyone put in their shields?

I have one of every type of Tanker in City of Heroes. I'm hearing all this talk about softcaps (which I am clueless about) and maximum resistances and such. A few of the guides I read suggest taking Tough even with types that I didn't think would need them (like Invulnerability).

I know some Tankers benefit from Tough, like Fire and Dark. But do all my Tankers need it? I have such tight builds with them anyways, and endurance is always a concern.

And for the record, my only Tanker at 50 is my Stone/Stone.
