For those who are wondering what a "scrappertank" is, it is our term for a Tanker that puts 5 or 6 slots in all of his/her attacks.  Both Half-Cocked and The Atomic Woman fit this template.  Note that such a character does NOT have to skimp on defenses.  Just pick certain defenses you wish to rely on, and 6 slot those.

That's not quite true. AW has three attacks (Jab, Punch, Haymaker) with 3 slots in the first two, and 4 slots in the third. I eventually do want to have 5 or 6 slots in them (as well as Hurl and Foot Stomp), but I wanted to slot my defenses first, so around level 20 I realized that my attacks were really falling behind.

As for tank defenses, yeah, you don't need all of them (or all of them fully slotted). I actually feel like I have too much defense, and would trade some out for more offense easily. With the new 90% cap on resistances, Invulnerability tanks will never need more than 5 slots in TI and RPD, and I don't really need Resist Elements/Energies anyway since those damage types are so rare.
