an example of this is the other day I ran up to the devlitt NM in Muy Tuy and a R50 lancer was attempting a solo. He had a hauby +2 and all other +1 or +2 gear and he wiped. I finished him up, and then solo'd him again for good measure as a pugilist with no problems.
I agree with you in that we are well rounded. The only possible problem I see with that, is that being so well rounded are we very desirable in a group? When you have the choice between a MRD/GLD as a tank and an ARC/LNC DD, are Pugs going to be left out in the cold? Can we compete with other tanks for Hate? Can we compete with other DDs in terms of damage done?

I don't have any details on these questions. I know there is a parser out there that will record some of the Data and I may do some experiments to see if I can hold hate over another tank.
