However, this changes when the Scrapper and Tanker reach the resistance and defensive caps.
Tanks resistance caps out at 90% compared to the Scrappers 75% resistance cap...making the Scrapper 16.6% worse than the Tank.
They can be equal, in terms of defense, if their defense is at the soft-cap (45%)...although it is extremely easier for a Tank to reach those numbers.
The actual answer to your question: No, a scrapper cannot reach tanker level resistance.

1) You start at a numerical disadvantage.
2) Damage resistance is not a common set bonus.
3) Tanker resistance can go up to 90%. A scrapper stops at 75% no matter what.
However, can you make an invuln scrapper as 'tough' as some types of tanks? Yes. You can get huge amounts of defense from set bonuses. I have my ice and shield tanks close to 50% defense and my dark tank at about 30%.
As a starting point, you'll want Tough, Weave, Combat Jumping and the Steadfast Protection +defense unique. After that, off the top of my head (I don't usually build for defense so not an expert at it), I think you'd need 250 million+ to reach 'tank durability'.
P.S. If you want to hear from experts, post in the Tanker section.
