Stone Tanks?

Hi I am wondering about a rumor my friend told me. My friend was saying that the devs are nerfing stone tanks. Is that true?

Well,

A) It's a rumor... so probably not..

B) Why would they nerf stone? They pay a lot for all that defense and mitigation in Granite.

I can't think of a good reason I'd want a stone tanker along on most teams were there other options available.

I've heard this "rumor" every few weeks since issue 6 and so far there's been zero substance to it. Yeah, a Granite tanker can easily become the next best thing to unkillable with a plain SO build... but there are some pretty hefty penalties attached already in the form of -spd, -rchg, -dmg and no jumping.

I'd worry about a stone nerf when I see an actual redname post about it; past history says it's someone who's envious of the stone tank's ability and is nerfherding.

I have a stone tank and i ONLY run in Granite for the durability. It has "built-in" nerfs already. The only reason i only run granite is so i can spam taunt, use leaders powers, and slows and debuffs for the "team". I don't focus on killing, i focus on the team not getting killed.
