Tanker for me?

Well I would like to make a new tanker but I am not sure what set will work for me
I want something that will have a good survivability rate and wont get the dmg debuff of Granite Armor. I already have a Willpower tank so I do not want that. Whats a good team tank primary?

Well, if it's toughness on teams but not Willpower you want, I'd say Invulnerability. It's very solid now that it was buffed and the typed defense IO sets were revamped. If it's too much like Willpower for your tastes, try Ice perhaps, that's a more different mechanic but still pretty tough.

Don't forget Shields. With pretty minimal IO usage, you can get a very solid Tanker with some interesting and fun gameplay mechanics.

Well what about going through levels without IO's until lvl 50?

Many, many of us have gone to 1-50 with Invuln without IOs, and it should be easier now with the buffs to Invuln. So yeah, completely doable if you want to go that route.

I'm sure it's possible to do on Shields, too, though I haven't tried it myself.

You don't need to wait until 50 to slot IO sets. I usually start slotting mine as early as level 30. I pretty much always build my characters to be exemp friendly, and this allows me to exemp down to level 30 or 35 without losing any of the set bonuses.
