"no" springs to mind.
There are reasons why our powers work the way they do, and are restricted to the archetypes we have. Because other ways *do not work*. they aren't fun.
"Tankmages" are not fun - for anyone BUT the tank mage, and generally speaking in a game with them, it's also a game which can easily be gimped by inexperienced players. It's no fun being around a tank mage either - because there's nothing else to do.
As it is, Controllers often can tank pretty well, in different ways. But tank/defenders are harder, and I'd rather keep that to people who know what they're doing with specific powersets from either tank or defender, instead of just being "allowed" to mix and match.
Please read my FEAR/Portal/HalfLife Fan Fiction!

Also, a Stone Armor/Radiation Emission character wouldn't really be able to tank effectively... [Taunt] is in the Tanker's melee set, not his armor set, and Challenge/Provoke from the Presence Pool are not very good at holding aggro.

And deal almost no damage, which would make your Taunt and Gauntlet so weak that a controller could pull aggro off of you with Brawl. You'd be functionally useless on teams and incapable of soloing.|

The developers specifically designed the AT system to replace the freeform power selection system to prevent both of these kinds of builds from being possible. They aren't going to turn around now, 6+ years after they created that system, and gut it.
Hmm Good Points guys,I played just about all the arctypes on both side,I want to see something different or something that stand out.Maybe a New Epic Class or something that lets you chose something new.

If I could have any superpower in the game, I'd have the ability to auto-kill every mob on the map and earn 1,000,000,000,000 XP for it. Now, if that isn't abuse, I'm not sure what is!
(By the way, I'm sure I'm not the only one!)
Sorry, but I could DEFINATELY see the potential for abuse!

you can have a Willpower/Archery or Dark Armor-Dark Range,IT just an Idea and Think if there a Costom Frame for power pool Option.It should only be unlock after having a lvl 50 on villian and Heroes,so new players can play the arc types already there,get these crazy and wacky Ideas but you no i have to see what other people response for an Idea i have.
