== The Tanker is a second only to the Scrapper in melee power? ==
I do not think this statement is correct. Blasters have the ability to do significantly more damage in melee combat than a Tanker. So much so where the term Blapper was coined to adequately describe the combination of power selection, slotting, and battle technique. I believe this line should be removed.

:They certainly aren't second in melee power.  As far as I know, that is still the "official" description of tankers according to CoH, however.  Probably just need a note explaining that this isn't true or something to say this is only the official description. - [[User:Snorii|Snorii]] 05:31, 23 March 2007 (PDT)

Ok, after reading the Herding section I feel like I know less about herding than before. I had to read it twice before I fully grasped it. I will say it was very eloquent, but seems like it was taken from another more comprehensive guide. --Konoko 10:03, 2 March 2007 (PST)

The Tanker is a second only to the Scrapper in melee power?

I do not think this statement is correct. Blasters have the ability to do significantly more damage in melee combat than a Tanker. So much so where the term Blapper was coined to adequately describe the combination of power selection, slotting, and battle technique. I believe this line should be removed.

They certainly aren't second in melee power. As far as I know, that is still the "official" description of tankers according to CoH, however. Probably just need a note explaining that this isn't true or something to say this is only the official description. - Snorii 05:31, 23 March 2007 (PDT)
