Tanker

Overview

If the Blaster is the irresistible force, the Tanker is the immovable object. While not leading the pack for dealing damage, nobody can stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the Tanker when time comes to take damage. The Tanker is not totally invulnerable, but while he bends his efforts to protecting his teammates and they lend him their aid in turn, it's very easy to feel that way! The Tanker is a second only to the Scrapper in melee power, and possesses some ranged abilities, though far below those of the Blaster or the Defender. Tankers proudly stand in the front lines of battle in order to protect their comrades and, of course, the innocent.

The Tanker's powersets are:

Primary: Defense
Secondary: Melee

The Tanker has high hit points and medium damage.
