Note to the OP: Perhaps this post could have been described as "powers that a new player should know arent absolutely necessary to be effective". These are powers I can see myself substituting for pool powers. You kinda set yourself up for a flaming. People like these powers. Actually any tanker I build with super strength or stone melee will always have hurl or hurl boulder. Those 2 powers are good in pve and any range is good for a tank in pvp. Its win/win

If i cant power level my alts, there is no point...

Statesman..I hate cryptic and what you've done to my mains primary power set.. You have been evil to me..

I had a dream, but it never will be.

LOL.... been there ...done ALL of that

The team we did it on had a dark armor scrapper and a stone tanker(myself)...I taunted the hydra and he killed the ritki...

Dude i must hae been that stone tanker you were talking about...I got on another team and they didnt get a controller...I eventually had to leave...they just kept trying to take out the stupid generators and couldnt get anywhere...I'm glad you made this guide ....I told my team i was leaving so that they could get a controller and have a chance at finishing....They didnt believe me when I said that if they got a controller that the hydra could be held right through the force field...

Once you get granite you Will have felt naked wearing rock, but you cannot turn granite off for nothing in most fights...Granite has a VERY effective handicap of slwoing you to almost stillness...You will have to slot recharge and get hasten to be effective...You can trust me when i tell u that You will get annoyed by the recharge...You may be able to turn on run or SS for the run speed but unless you prepare for the recharge problem theywill become a problem...Maybe the new issue will help with the problems but there is no telling till issue 4

Granite Armor = OMG. I have it unslotted with 1 SO + Def. I am the sickest tanker I've ever SEEN already. The mobs might as well bring a nuke, it ain't getting through. With a Emp healers Fort so I can HIT mobs, and an every once in awhile healer, I could TANK +8's. Status protection included. +Res vs all but psi. Granite... a TOGGLE version of MoG. Without the HP drop...

Ok now, dont start having delusions of granduer...I think you may have been accidentally exagerating with this statement

What I don't understand is why they didn't just change Rooted to a large -Slow effect?

It would be as thematic, since if you can move enough to turn to fight people behind you, obvioulsy you're not frozen in place.

And it would be a lot easier to play with being slowed down as if by Caltrops, than with being unable to move at all.

NO! not a good idea...I've seen bettter ideas in this same post

Speed enhancers????

I think he is referring to the patience it has taken to build the stone tanker.....

Huh? There is no way i'd ever go into a fight with only stone skin and rooted....That Wouldnt work...

Actually I dont mind that much...being rooted would be cool with a slight modifacation....Perhaps if we could pic up our roots with our hand and drag it with us...In that situation we would have the protection but we couldnt attack while dragging it because we got our hands full...Plus it would look cool...WE could drop it and start smacking them again...

Um.. Sir... I dont think that this update matters if the only tanker that can handle the aggro is a invulnerable/super strength one..I dont think u have equiped the others for it at all...Whats up with that anyways?
