Good idea and being that my main char is a fire blaster i know that it would draw some major aggro aka reign of fire=death for me

what your suggest is possible with the epic power pool powers but as a started it would no longer be a tanker.

it would be like folks that run blappers but in this case would be an unballanceing archatype and is only really needed for those that cant successfully run either a tanker or a blaster effectively. Its like a archatype with a golf handycap to make the player look better.

So it really doesnt have much credanced in the long run.

I have to say no on this. I would really like the idea, but it wuld cause a ton of nerfs. Tanks would be too strong. Blaster like dmg comes with low hp. It's how they balance out. If tank had that kind of dmg, either their primary or attacks would be nerfed to compensate. Or both. Tanks are already way less effective then they were a few issues ago. This seems like a good idea, but I'd rather not have tanks suffer anymore. There's too few as it is.

i agree tanks got nerfed alot in damage potential and dont need any more nerfing. Also it would have to be a seperate AT because who would run melee controll then? Also if you want range and def go with either a claw or spine scrap and get the dark mastery set you will wind up with more range than melee however you will do less damage.
