The Old Babysitter style of I0 etc is definitely gone. Just like the holy Trinity is gone (was it ever really here in CoX?? other then in players minds).
Tankers definitely still have a role that other ATs dont fill as well as tankers do.
Main: Praetor Imperium Elec/SS/Mu
After reading responses and such, I was playing the more "up-to-date" Tankstyle of moving and taunting and attacking... except the Blaster was still taking aggro from me. Had taunt on auto on Rommy, and was hitting Whirling Mace, Crowd Control, Cleave, and a couple AoE temp powers I had.
My guess was it was just my bad chance of the last two ITFs I ran being with those evil aggro stealing Blaster(s). Plus, I think I forgot about the aggro cap (What is it these days? Still 16? Or did they up it?). Either way, I'm probably too used to my Scrapper being a mindless razorblade on steroids.
And I agree with Lach, sure Blasters might be running around with soft caps, regen caps, recovery caps and damage caps, but they're not going to herd together Rommy and his friends (Yes, the minotaurs as well) up on his pedestal and be the only one left standing when Rom rezzes and disorients everyone except myself.
Seven years of heroism. Seven years of friendships. Seven years of saving the world. Seven years of virtuous selflessness.
