It took five years, but we finally made it back

Let me preface this by saying that I'm NOT sore about ED, in fact I'm one of the few who thought it was a good thing when it happened.

Way back in I4, my Invulnerability tanker was nigh-invincible. I hardly ever died, I was hopped up on pre-nerf Hami-Os which kept my damage permanently capped, and was generally way overpowered. I felt like I was wasting my time if I wasn't fighting purples exclusively, and I hated Toxic damage because I didn't have great resistance to it. I distinctly remember getting my *** kicked by Hydra and being completely baffled by it.

That was not an uncommon state for the high-level players of the day. I wasn't unusual; almost all high-level players could tell a similar story. So in retrospect it's no surprise the way I5 and ED came along and put us in our place.

Now, five years later, I've rebuilt my Tanker multiple times, spent hundreds of millions on IOs, and have generally reached the point where I almost never die again. And then it happened: the other night I ran the Apex TF. We fought nothing but purples, and we kicked all their *****, except the Hydra, which, because of their stupid toxic damage, took a bit more doing. Yep, we're back.

And now with the Incarnate system, it will only get better.

Time to open us up a can of the ol' Whoopass!
I still need to get my Tank to 50. Again. Damn you Energy Melee nerf reroll!

My Katana/Regen still can't tank Hami without help...
