Old school City of Heroes tankers

[Undateeka]

Definitely good old days, but holy shit that's a lot of Council Wolves XD

[viper55554]

ah... the good ol' days

[AcrobatHero]

Yup, and controllers had nearly endless amounts of pets. Fire Imps...so...many....fire imps. Hordes of them from one player. It honestly was a lot more fun when you could be so chaotic, but it's still fun now with the limitations.

can brute herd like this and kill his own herd without dying?

[AcrobatHero]

Not to this extent. This ease of tanking ended before CoV was added. They can still herd lots, but nothing insane like this without help.

@Ladykiller245 Brutes are Scrappers that deal more damage the longer their in combat they have just a smidge more health than Scrappers, their defenses were similar to Scrappers unbuffed, Brutes can receive higher levels of defense from buffs compared to Scrappers with buffs

[FreakStormer]

This was when they taunted whole zones at a time right?

[tetsuyauzumaki]

whats the differance between the old school tank and the new one? i just came back to coh and i wanna know.

[Fishmonkey01]

When CoH first came out, AoE powers did not have a target cap. This allowed Invulnerability tankers to become invincible if more than 30 enemies are within melee range. Players used to powerlevel by having one tanker herd an entire zone of enemies, then a single blaster would kill them all with one AoE nuke.

This video shows a tanker killing his own herd for the lulz.

back then a tank was a fucking tank.

[iviemann]

Man, CoH back then was great and when the first Winter Lord came...you could level up to 40 in about 5 hours or less! For that week, people had like 3 to 4 50's. I sooooo miss the old CoH, before all the nerfing and slow issues. The dev's now are crap and i can't wait for CO and DCO, it should give them some good, needed, competition.

The best line from a new player about a tanker was "He ran in there I cant believe he just ran in there"

[JesseLivingston]

Lol, you can't do this anymore? I quit about 2 years ago, just reactivated my account lol.

[Joe0079]

I wish I coulda been around when CoH was like that. Would have had soooo much fun lol

[blytwd36]

Ahh these were the good old days in CoH, lol. I wish they were still like that =P
