Don't forget it helps keep them in range of Auras.

I do feel the Tanker inherent should increase survivability directly.
So tell me how Vigilance increases a solo defender's solo capabilities?

Used right, Guantlet DOES help even a solo tank, and just because your playstyle doesn't let it be useful solo doesn't mean no one else does.

It doesn't. It needs to be changed.

Who cares ? If you solo mobs only attack you anyway. Tankers should have something better rather than just situationally benefiting from the consequences of the Taunt in Gauntlet.

Actually, it doesn't. They are not about to change vigilance when they didn't want to give it to us in the first place.

Thing is defenders and tanks were made when there where no official inherents if the class had them. We won't get awesome inherents on heroes like villians have, at this point, unless the ATs are redisgned/revamped like stalkers, doms, and blasters were. And if you think Tanks and Defenders are that messed up you are nuts.
