Question on Earth Tank

Now before FOTM comments I have been Earth on this alt for a long time.

I was a pet heavy tank and used damage shift alot. Its now gone. It now says for Brick and Crystal in Tank Role "Transfer a portion of your incoming damage to Brick. Brick uses super powers to repair and defend himself."

Is damage shift always active with Brick? If his power empties does damage shift go away? Also does the troll fill Bricks power?

Damage Shift is always active on Brick and is not dependent on his power pool.
The Controller can not provide Brick with power.
Fortify Golem is the power that you can use to provide Power Over Time to Brick.

As well as a Shield each time it is cast, and his defenses benefit from your Dominance.

Talk smack on support roles or ask a good question about Earth and that milk truck shows up. Pattern? Maybe it's time I bring up my earth alt sitting at level 6!

My new earth tank Lesli Knope will appreciate that.

Ok Question. Damage shift is always running with Brick....what happens when I use Jackhammer? Which one cancels out? Edit: Does the Damage Absorption from Jackhammer not exist as long as Brick is out or does Damage Shift Cancel during Damage Absorption.

The new and improved Brick is a friggin beast! Dude simply won't die!

earth tanks in general dont die. if you are dying still, you are doing it wrong. aftershocks for the win.

Earth tanks were always the toughest to kill in pvp, more so than ice... I'm scared now

I will <3 aftershocking until the end of time. Thank the heavens Brick didn't make it irrelevant, as was the common fear.

IIRC, Earth already had the highest effective health on paper, and now we can extend absorption duration to 18 seconds with Jackhammer aftershocks, allowing us to keep it up constantly. Ice can't say that, and I'll take absorption over self-heals (Fire or Rage) any day.

Congrats earth tanks sounds like a great update so far for you all.

Wait, so you mean to tell me that I can't simply kill off brick and then automatically own you in PvP no more? F#*&!

In addition to what Jens said, the little bugger also has an Envelop SC heal he can use, but he rarely gets low enough to need it.

People always cry about ice but that earth tank with brick...smh....just smh.

That earth tank gain control of the node their not moving unless they feel like walking off that node with their own free will.

Answered my own question. Looks like as long as Brick is out you do not get the Damage Absorption from Jackhammer.

I love this earth

Yeah, I loved fighting Brick and ignoring the Earth Damage in PVP. Now you cannot do this anymore or they will find you and he will kill you.

Ice is really boring to tank with.. I guess I'll go Earth until Fire gets revamped

You said on stream that pets got buffed ,but isnt it mean that after a few dlc's they will be in need of a buff once again or the situation with useless pets will come back ? Or i am misunderstanding something.
