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.

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)
