I like tankers - but i am a slow player; so only have gotten a stoner to L50. I skipped the tough/weave in favour of leadership - and mostly run aim and use veng mostly from that pool.
Currently playin with my fire/ice which is good fun. (L26 only). Gone donw the route of CJ.SJ/Acrob for this one.And more or less gonna take all from my primary set.
I have been told that a good fire/fire with SS doesnt really need taunt - as he can just go up to mobs and grab it. personally - i wouldnt as I am an old fashioned tank.
as for comedy builds - well, its a bit unfair really cos hes a mate of mine. But it is a concept build really - skipped stone armour cos brimstone looked cooler, and took tough as a replacement for stoner armourOn the plus side - he is a good tanker with def/troller support. And now with GA - well nuff said.

hmmmm a few things that worry me abt ur question
fire/kin - but hit things with power pools? ignore primary set? but... but... fire does great damage.
I only hav 2 /kins, one ill/kin, one fire/kin. And both play very differently. for my ill troller - pre-32; PA and holds/deceive were very impt. post 32 pet and PA does most of the work post; and speed time buffing peeps with the whole multitude of powers.
I usually try and keep SB on whole team. SB recharges fast and lasts quite some time. There is occasional overlaps when it is missing, but here - thems the breaksWhat I hate is the "SB pls" repeatedly - usually this is followed by a private tell saying "if u continue doing that; you will NOT get any SB at all" - usually sorts it, or I get kicked lol.
Fire/kin is a completely different kettle of fish. very damage orientated. Mines is only L24 - so not at its full potential yet. with hot feet, flash fire and fire cages - wooo hooo. dont fidn as much time to buff with this toon. Seen peeps tank with this build as well - pop a few purples, the lock em down and burn them up.
whenever i join a team - 1st question I fire off is "who does NOT want SB" Of course there are kins w/o SB - but dont see the point really. Its a good power, even if its to boost ur own pets eg monkeys. But best to let team know wot kind of troller u are going to be from the start as to avoid arguments.
Never felt like a kin def with any of my kin trollers - cos control, damage etc is always a big part of the troller set as well.
Hey ho - to each his own. tbh - any team that invites a kin troller; will 90% of the time expect to be buffed i think. As long as u explain to team how u play - i dont think it will be a prob. -
lol bal has mates? ;P

Original hand postion by side didnt look right - so was repositioned. Tipex as required
From the studio that brought u Cpt Chicken and Ninja Duck....
blindsight sketch
PS for those who are curious - the righting on the other side is a build for a elect brute lol -
lol strange that u should hav this question - cos I was wondering myself... (abt 5 weeks ago) My fire/ice tank is now at L20
got burn at L18 - a real pain; enemies kept running awaygood damge though. taunting them did make em return, but they were indecisisve ie activate burn ...fire taunt... comes running in, burn (ow ow ow)... runs... turn round... comes back in range...ow ow ow.. cue run away again.. repeat
once got ice patch (L20)- better - but still hav to keep taunt on em. Good damge though. -

I am one of these peeps who loves reading the Rule book. Best campaigns played have been Marvel (its so simple! and colour coded too), Star Trek, Gamma World and Cyber punk.
Had a great Gm for Paranoia - we played all at the table; then would have bits where only he and one member of the party would go off for 5 mins to build actual paranoia - only lasted 5 sessions though -
i would agree with comments before abt coming to a new server. Recetnly moved to Union as well, and 1st few days were a right eye opener.
met loads of nice people and equally NOT so nice people
1st 5 mins on - met a L8 who would blind invite to team; (I was L3) then tp u off a high building.
But as mentioned b4 - tehre are idiots on all servers, and neither server is any better or worse - its all good.
Although have to say that there seems to be mroe peeps in union atm -
soz guy s- i am going to hav to pull out fo the expt - RL matters and other suchlike
sorry - but to others considering this - its a good laugh - join up JOIN UP! -
tbh - it might be cos we are getting long in tooth :P
I find that the more I play this game; the more I assume peeps know wot to do.
As many as there are peeps who are happy to be informed abt tanks, herding etc - there are loads who still want to play their own way. If this happens - I usually dont worry; as often, as the tank of the grp; i do hav the most survivability anyways. I finish the mish - then politely excuse myself
Interestingly - never seem to hav a prob in in-SG teams -
hmmm... connecting problems again guys soz ...
start w/o me; i dont think i can take the frustration
connecting .. # 31 -
awww u got L50
see i told u that u'd get there waaaaya b4 me.

dont think i am making it tonite guys - soz. give my place to a more deserving toon -
why not!?
i got toons onunion too - no fire/ tank though - so can do
ice/nrg is nice -
hey guys - soz; bl**dy system not connecting...
but pls save space for Doom Panda pls -
thx for replies
I iknow wot u mean shannon - think people just keep referring to "good old days".
Also - as i almost exclusively play in teams; is prob why I dont see fire tanks as being particularly nerfed. Works with defender or troller best, but as long as theres a good team behind me - its ok -
oh wanted to ask - we all starting from L1?
my dom is en/plant
L4 atm
names Doom Panda -
lol this is wot i get for not follwoing closely
thx for keeping me in team line up Marque
global @heatshock

Wed 730 pm is earliest i can get on; best at 8 pm but i dotn mind lagging behind(family duties - soz boys
) Strat w/o - i will catch up
-
just wanted to stand up for the old fire/ice tank.
finally rolled one cos every1 said they were nerfed; dislike (playing FoTM uber build ATs) - absolutely loving i
Never played pre-I5 so cant say wot it was like before, but very fun, even now. Mobile, good damage, good AoE.
A little squishy, but nothing a good team wouldnt sort out
To the guys (Mind, Teuf, Ele Term and the rest i cant remember soz)last nite doing frosty at 4 am in the morning witha hyper fire/ice tank - we were AWESOME lol -
hey there - i would be interested in joining
Old CoHer but new to CoV and trying to get into it. Unfortunately - only hav space left on union; and my dom is farly low at teh moment, L4 I think. -

Just a suggestion: you should post these to a same thread, then it'd be easier to flip through all your pictures (that are in the 50-pictures)

good point.
dont think I will make the 50 thoughonly skethc when I am at lectures (ie once a week!)
Heatshock Tank
Ninja Duck (MM)
Empath - Ninja Ducks arch nemesis!
Incomplete Cpt Chick - lectures ended -
would agree with T0ughGuy690 - tried loads of brutes - elct/DA, dark dark, SS/inv - but all didnt feel right.
I resisted rolling a fire/fire for a long time; cos of all thebad press in CoH and f/f tanks - but finally rolled one, and its amazing fun.
Conclusion = SS/inv - is a classic build; which lots of peeps enjoy. wasnt for me. but hav to play it urself really
