Dunno if you knew this, but you can get 10% s/l defense from the brute ATIO set. Just spilt it.
Where to now?

But seriously? No one knows what the tanker set will have. The set bonuses were leaked a while back, but they're still in heavy beta as those weren't even intended to be leaked. Likely they will launch as something else entirely.

Yeah, from the leaked images I saw, I think the bonuses were roughly the same as the current ones, but I'm betting those will change. At least they had better. If Brutes and Scrappers once again get the better defensive bonuses than Tankers do from the ATOs, I'm going to be mad.

Have the dev's given any justification for this?

Not sure, but they're definitely down there with Kheldian and SoA ATOs. Not sure what the justification is for those three ATs having terrible ATO bonuses. Literally every other AT has a defensive bonus except for the defensive AT and the epic ATs. That would make sense if the tanker set had a big offensive bonus....but it doesn't. |

On the other hand, the proc is awesome, so I don't care that much. I've got 80% resist to all but negative on my tank when the proc is double stacked.
The new ATO set also had pretty terrible bonuses from what I remember seeing, something like 2% resist to all spread out over 3 of the set's bonuses.
The new proc was an absorb though. Maybe it'll work against autohit/unresistable damage? That'd be cool.
Active (Freedom): Setna (Ice/Psi Dom), Arram (WP/KM Tank), Tesmiel (Elec/SS Tank), Astredax (Robot/Dark Mastermind), Operative Vidali (melee fortunata)
Retired (Virtue): Gaav (Inv/EM Tank), Baqra (Fire/SS Tank)
I've been considering a return back to the Tanker AT for my main...with all the new Incarnate abilities to boost damage.
However...a direct swap results in the loss of softcapped s/l defense...because of the 5% defense from the Brute ATO set.
I saw a post in the forums showing the new ATOs that will be coming out.
For anyone who knows...does the new set come with a s/l defense set bonus?
Edit: Found that I can still be softcapped to s/l with a direct swap by taking Focused Accuracy instead of Conserve Power.
However, I am still curious about the new ATO set bonuses.
