Vastly better, obviously, but I'd rather no class had strikethrough immunity, most especially brawlers, who are supposed to be more, not less, susceptible to spike damage than the other tanks.
W-O-W.
Who in the wide wide world of sports ever said this? Stop crying, seriously.
That being said, I will agree that it should be uniform for all tanks, but I would go the other way: all tanks should be immune to strikethrough in defensive stance. Strikethrough makes a --LOT-- of tank abilities useless. If our defensive abilities are supposed to be useless when we really need them, WHY HAVE THEM AT ALL?
First, brawlers wear leather. I would think it's kind of obvious that you should get hit a bit harder than the plate tanks. I know SoE has been working hard over the last couple of expansions to try and flatten this out so all six fighters are valid MT's but really, there has to be something to your leather.
Second, I'd stand up and cheer if I got strike through immunity as a Guardian but... when you think about it.. the Guardian skills are pretty much the best you can get to deal with strikethrough mobs other than actual strikethrough immunity. Three timeable stoneskins, A 3.5 minute duration death save, 10% damage reduction on Hunkerdown, crit mit on our 30 second group buff, group stoneskin with a 25% trigger chance. I only really have Romero to compare things to, and while I agree a Brawler makes this fight like stupid simple, a Guardiand who times his abilites a bit does just fine.
If you wanted to give us something then make all of our short term buffs and stoneskins instant cast. I'd be very happy with that. I have /cancel_spellcast on all of my oh crap buttons but I still get killed waiting for them to cast.
