Tanker

Overview

The Tanker is an irresistible force combined with an immovable object. This archetype can take and dish out all sorts of damage. The Tanker is not totally invulnerable, but his skills allow the other archetypes to play their parts, too. The Tanker is a devastating hand to hand combatant, and ranks second only to the Scrapper in sheer melee power. He 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.
