odd I thought Tanks and Brutes were meant to be the same. Well...stone brutes if slotted wil could take alot of damage like a tank. Surly they should be able to tank, right?

[/ QUOTE ]Taking damage != Tanking.
Tanking = Keeping aggro without dying.
Stone Armour is the worst tank, and second worst brute armour set for tanking.

He means that stone armor is the worse tank because it's bad in keeping the aggro. I don't know tactics to keep aggro, so I've no opinion on the subject

Im not sure Stone Armour is the "worst" at tanking. If you heavily slot taunt (enough for perma taunting) it is arguable the best vs an AV. But, of course, its disadvantage in tank terms is handling aggro. Often its not a huge problem when things go reasonably smoothly, but a Granite tank is the worst tank around when facing that second mob, or a load of flying enemies.
Granite is also probably the SLOWEST tank around in terms of a steam roller team. Even with teleport, it wont ever compete with other tanks.
But its horses for courses. personally, I veiw Stone armour as a Stone tank, and Granite as a mode you use only when absolutely needed.
With IO's these days, a non-Granite stone tank is pretty good, now that you can grab enough +run speed to make it reasonably mobile.
I dont think you can say "so and so" is worst/best etc. It all depends on the situation you face.
Well my fire/fire brute makes a great tank... With healing flames slotted nicely and some recharge set bonuses, I can take on loads of +1-2s and do fine 
Yes, I do take alot of damage, but I soon heal it off
My energy aura is complete pants for tanking. It leans more towards the scrapper side. Can it be good for Heroes though? Hopefully.

[/ QUOTE ]Aye, /NRG is the worst brute set for tanking due to lack of an aura.
It's still a very nice set for bruting though
