I was wondering... How crazy would it be to attempt to build a Crab meant to be a substitute Tank? They seem to be sturdy enough... and while the pool Taunt isn't as strong, it would work well enough for it's purpose. What do you think?

Small tweaks but they will help.

Your ranged defense is very high, way above the cap, you could free a slot or two by yanking from the pets (I'd go with the pure accuracy piece since you run TT:L). Stick them in Venom nade, get some recharge in it.

Also you could switch the two slots in CJ over to LotG to get another 10% regen. You'd lose minimal defense (your still way over caps tho) going with a Global recharge and the pure defense piece.

Even after that you are still so far over the cap on Ranged Defense you could yank the Numina's Unique from Serum and put it in Health.
