brute might hit a little bit harder. tank is way better overall

Thanks, so if I'm going tanker what power choices work? I was leaning to wp or invul but was wondering it DA is any good?
With 0 fury, the tanker will do slightly more damage. Tanker damage scale is 0.8, brute is 0.75. They both have a ranged multiplier of 0.5, in case you're looking at epic powers or whatever.
Also, the tanker's tier 1 attack now applies a 20% res debuff on your target, though I'm not sure how practical that is for PvP.

I was looking in Mids' at this 20% Debuff on the 1st attack of Tanker secondaries. The debuff applies to all Res types. Mids' says the duration of the dubuff is 13.6 seconds. That duration can't be right.|

So, for example, a /DM Tanker was to hit a foe with Shadow Punch. This foe would be debuffed for 13.6 seconds. Wait, I placed my mouse pointer over the 'Res: -20% (Tgt)' and it says for '...0.75 seconds... Effect does not stack from same caster'. What is the duration of Shadow Punch's debuff?
Now, when I place my mouse pointer over the 'ToHit: -5.25% (Tgt)' the duration of the debuff is 6 seconds. That sounds right for PvP.

not so much a matter of who hits the hardest - who lives the longest. Tanks have a higher hp cap if I remember correctly.Fury is broke in pvp and with GR you can get brute epics. Brutes get ea and sr so if you were looking to make a def based toon you have more options as a brute - Invuln has high resists and you can get dp to close to perma otherwise I would go elec for res and the heal. DM has - to hit im most every attack and an addtional self heal - they can be fun to play.
I do
Concentrated Strike on a scrapper.
Hey, the question is who hits the hardest tank or brute with only the damage alpha (no fury built up). I know none are great dame dealers for pvp, just woundering if I had to play one and fancy hitting something which will hurt them the most?? Oh and the power will be SS/
Thanks
