It is really just a mess and always has been. War Mace - The second of the two completely broken offensive sets (the other is ice melee). Footstomp alone has made me renew my subscription to City of Heroes more than once. Footstomp is the gem of this set - the best tanker area of effect attack. Rage can be made permanent once slotted for recharge, and this adds 80% damage most of the time.
Super Strength - This is a good all around set with single target and area of effect damage. Second only to energy melee for single target damage. The attacks chain together very well to create a fast, smooth attack chain with good damage. Stone Melee - This set has excellent single target attacks and some minor area of effect damage. It had crowd control aspects as part of its design, but controllers are so powerful that these are not needed. Ice Melee - One of the two completely broken offensive sets for tankers (the other is war mace). The attacks are slow animating and do poor damage. The secondary effect (DoT) is unreliable and random. You can approach scrapper level damage with this set.įiery Melee - A weak, badly flawed set at its core. The set is poorly designed and ends up being weak.Įnergy Melee - The highest single target damage by far. What Secondary Powersets Are Available to Tankers?įor City of Heroes Tankers, the secondary powerset is the source of offensive powers or attacks.īattle Axe - A combination of single target and small area of effect attacks.ĭark Melee - Mostly single target, dark melee has fast hitting, fast recharging punch type attacks.ĭual Blades - This set relies on combos to deal much of its damage. It is an excellent set - especially when combined with the Fighting Power Pool. Willpower - The newest of the primary sets, this is a combination of defense, resistance, and regeneration. Granite Armor is basically god mode, and it created a tanker imbalance that has never been resolved. Stone Armor - The overpowered set of the bunch, this is primarily a defense based set until you get Granite Armor. Invulnerability - This is a hybrid resistance and defense based set that specializes in protection against smashing and lethal damage (the two most common damage types). Energy Absorption is an end drain that can also be used offensively. Hoarfrost and Hibernate provide multiple ways to self heal. Ice Armor - This defense based set has exotic protection against slows. It has a nice self heal, but multiple status protection holes and low overall resistance result in the set being ultimately flawed and weak. Burn and Fiery Embrace both augment the tanker’s offense. This set is very endurance heavy.įiery Aura - This resistance based set is the most offensive of the tanker powersets. It has a powerful self heal (dark regen) that requires a to-hit check.
The primary weakness is to energy attacks.
What Primary Powersets Are Available To Tankers?įor City of Heroes Tankers, the primary powerset includes the various shields or defensive powers of the Tanker.ĭark Armor - This is a resistance based set that features exotic protections against end drain and psionic attack. Tankers proudly stand in the front lines of battle in order to protect their comrades and, of course, the innocent. He possesses some ranged abilities, though far below those of the Blaster or the Defender. The Tanker is a devastating hand to hand combatant, and ranks second only to the Scrapper in sheer melee power. The Tanker is not totally invulnerable, but his skills allow the other Archetypes to play their parts, too. This Archetype can take and dish out all sorts of damage. The Tanker is an irresistible force combined with an immovable object. The official description of the Tanker is: What is the role of the City of Heroes Tanker?
