At least give it a try man. Put some kind of build tougher with Mids or something and well work on it from there.

My crab is officially a tank and he outperforms most Brutes and Tanks in Survivability. The softcap is fairly easy to reach, I'll post my build if you'd like to take a look at it.

A Crab that can out perform a tank?? that would be interesting to see. Are you talking in SO's or fully IO'd and which tank defense power are ya comparing it to.

Well, I out-tank a fried of mine's Invul Brute, I outperform most non-IOd Invul tanks, /EA, /Fire Aura, /Ice, /Electric, /Shields and /Super Reflexes dont even come close in either AT. Willpower outperforms me just because of the ridiculous regen and properly IOd Invul tanks can out perform me in most areas by a little except for damage. My DPS is always more than a tank anyhow, though. Stone Armor is a toss-up, It's resists are higher but it's defenses arent as high, not to mention if a Granite hits the softcap it's probably only in Smashing/Lethal. But, generally a Stone Tank who knows what he's doing can outperform me, yet get nowhere near my DPS. The only downside to the build is the relatively low HP. Serum works as a good self-heal and also bumps me up to just over 2000 max HP for it's duration.

I'll post the build. This isn't exactly how I have it in game, as the IOs arent all at level 50, but it's on the money, for the most part.
