I'm more amused by the (paraphrasing) "All my mains are healers, and my team keeps wiping all the time. I tank most of the time."
Well, that would be your problem in a nutshell. If you're trying to do your tanker's job for him, instead of healing, then of course you're wiping. And team wipes show epic failure in either or both the roles claimed.
[/ QUOTE ]
At least six of my mains are Defenders. (My mains tend to rotate a bit.) Several are Dark Miasma, which has the most powerful AoE heal in the game. (By an admittedly trivial amount.) Oddly enough, none of them are healers, they're all support characters instead. Oh, they heal when it's useful or needed, but that's a fallback for when the far more effective buffs and debuffs aren't enough.
Dark Miasma is excellent at crowd control and herding, but tanking in the sense of grabbing and holding aggro for the team? In my opinion not so much. (With the presence pool it can be somewhat effective.)

i make stuff...
Yes but why spend your time taunting and managing aggro when you could be keeping the team alive? If I invite a defender to my team I expect him to DEFEND me, cause I dont need a tank. I will let the tanker tank.

But see, that's great for your Defender not to heal...Divine specified the toons in question were "healers". And tankers. And such.

How, if you're so good at the game, could you possibly confuse the Cape and Aura missions? As a followup to that, how can you suggest that either are hard to solo at the earliest level possible?
[/ QUOTE ]
A curious twist to the cape mission is that when it first came out, a lot of people *thought* it was hard, and so tended to invite more and more people to "help" with it. Ironically, the more people you added, the harder it got to save the time capsule before it was destroyed, which caused people to add even more people to try to make it easier. I didn't know it was supposed to be hard and soloed it with all of my alts at the time without any difficulty.
Today, though, although the cape mission isn't necessarily trivial for neophytes, experienced players should have no difficulty soloing it with most archetypes. It is still actually more difficult to do it with "help" than it is solo, unless you're running a completely offense-less defender or something.
[/ QUOTE ]
So that's why people try to get help for the cape mission. I've had many requests from someone who needed help with this mission, and I never could understand it. I always just breeze right through it and couldn't understand why so many people would send tells out asking for help with it.

The problem with the cape mission is the part at the end where you have to protect some artifact from being destroyed. If you're solo, you're (a) less likely to trigger the attack before you realize it, (b) there are fewer enemies attacking the artifact, so it takes longer to be destroyed, and (c) you can more easily distract all the attacking enemies at once. On a big team, the fight preceding it often aggros the enemies to attack the artifact. They then quickly massacre it, causing the mission to fail, because there are more enemies per spawn. Furthermore, if you do catch on to what they are doing and try to attack or distract them, it is easier to miss one or two who finish the job before you defeat them.
So, yeah, it's a problem on teams and much easier solo.

Huh. Funny how my current defender nearly never has to "supply his health" and yet he's nearly always the first into a spawn because most people dawdle too much moving spawn to spawn. Doesn't own any heals, either, unless you count the Entropic Chaos and Call of the Sandman procs. And both those are in defending/light damaging tools.
You don't seem to understand defender grabbing even some of the aggro, spreading it around, can be quite beneficial to team survival. There are sets that actively defend the team, rather than reactively, and they often have tools to survive lots of aggro. The emp and pain sets in your sig the only buff/debuff sets you play?

[/ QUOTE ]This, pretty much. Pretty much any AT can tank, and very well, if built properly. My Ice/Storm 'troller is probably my best "tanker". She duoed with an Ice/Ice blaster, and she does an incredibly good job of maintaining aggro.
There are many more ways to maintain aggro than 'Taunt...Taunt...Taunt...Taunt...", or hitting things with your face.

Darkest Night - to stop him from hitting back
[/ QUOTE ]
So far as I know Darkest Night is resistable in PvE (as are nearly all player debuffs) and most Archvillains generally strongly resist tohit debuffing to the tune of about 85% or so at level 50 (in fact, the *minimum* Archvillain tohit resistance is 30% - that's not the lowest that currently exists, but the actual floor that the game is programmed to obey for AVs). The net result is that you aren't going to budge the typical AV's net tohit much (you can buff your own defense to make them miss, you just can't really budge their tohit much without extremely massive amounts of debuffing).
Darkest Night will debuff AV damage some so its not useless, but it won't really make them miss noticably unless you have significantly outlevelled them and have a huge combat modifier advantage. This would seem to be dangerous advice to give to players (that a single application of DN can debuff an AV enough for it to miss you often enough to matter).

(Please support the best webcomic about a cosmic universal realignment by impaired angelic interference resulting in identity crisis angst. Or I release the pigmy water thieves.)
I agree completely from what you are saying Arcana. It could get helpful with stacking dark blast powers, but I am no expert when it comes to math in the game.
People make simple mistakes all the time and by all technicalities, darkest night does stop him from hitting back *sometimes*. So I gave her the benefit of a doubt, and slapped up a build like she said. This made me laugh heartily and in a way shocked.
From taking the experience and guidance of other formites have given me, nothing seem to add up, which made me laugh harder. Supporting people and telling them they can do anything should be encouraged to a degree. But with this information given from the posts I have seen of her now, makes me truly question many things aside from her validity.
