...wait, did I miss a profileration round that gave tanks Spines and SR?
If proliferated, SR on a Tanker would be softcapped with just CJ.
...This idea excites me. 
Aren't tanks supposed to take hits? they deflect and absorb sure, but I mean
Haha! (dodges bullet, which hits citizen) I'd Like to see you try that again (Taunt) (evades lightning bolt which fries defender).
"Fascinating. I'm not bored at all, I swear." -Kikuchiyo
my spines/sr, with cheap IO set slotting has hit def soft caps. and I frequently farm +3x8 BM map. I can tank the BM, or any other for that matter pretty easy. And spines is AoE made stupid
You run in with spine burst, then target baddie on other end of spawn and jump back as you hit throw spines, and insta minion death with a couple ticks of quills.
Would it be dumb to have it as a tank primary/secondary with the twist of agro aura in evasion like brute side?
