Best Tanker primary for Tanking

If I'm not bleeding, I'm not living.

Yeah, I took mercy on the Tanker Tuesday guys this week and "only" ran at +2x8 because we had a couple lowbies with us (well...they were lowbies when we STARTED).

In offices I don't feel the need for the map so much. Caves, sewers (and Oranbega), it's a must.

Same. About the only time I PageDown is in the aforementioned caves and sewers because all of the bouncy camera zoom as I get near walls or go through doors makes me queasy after a while and gives me a hell of a headache (I already am susceptible to migraines and cluster headaches, so I prefer to avoid that if at all possible).

"Why is it that we feel most alive on the very edge of death?"

It's probably because you're getting all those toxins out of your system when you crap your spandex.

Cus we think we got away with something

Granite/Super-Strength. I fully IOed my stone/ss tank and it's not possible for a tank to be tougher. 90% s/l resistance, 80%-83% elemental/toxic resistance, soft-capped typed defense and 35% ranged defense (to deal with psi and toxic). Many of the disadvantages of granite are toned down by the IO set bonuses. And I can run faster than normal sprint speed.

My second-best tank is my invuln/warmace. Also fully IOed, this tank has 90% s/l resistance, 33%-35% elemental resistance, and is at typed defense soft-cap across the board vs a single foe, with 30% ranged defense. In addition, the aoe and two cone attacks from the mace secondary provide a lot of damage mitigation as well as significant damage output.

I have a willpower/energy melee tank, and he's pretty good, doesn't need much IO slotting. His only weakness is big spiked damage (multiple boss-level foes hitting at once) which I can mitigate easily by using Strength of Will and/or a purple inspiration. Willpower tanks are all-around solid, and a little investment in IOs and accolades will put your tank at the hp cap permanently.
