Is an INV/ tanker viable in PvP without unstopable? or is it necessary?

You don't need Unstoppable, but it's nice to have if you can fit it in. The crash can easily make you drop a kill though.

With aid self you wont need it very often but I'll be surprised if you cant fit it in.

Fire/ = more damage.

Ice/ = more survivability.

Still takes an awful lot of spike damage to kill a buffed fire tanker in the arena, with healing flames having a short recharge.

Oh yeah, but the difference is being hard to kill, and being almost impossible to kill. (Note: YMMV, a lot of Ice/ tank players are too slow with the button pressing).

unstoppable is ace, and with phase shift ( yes i know ), and a single blue insp, the crash kill can be easily avoided.

Unyeilding stance is the one true beauty of the invuln set in pvp imo though. Learn to love that power.
