While organized groups tend to fair a bit better I have yet to see anyone tank effectively, even those who try hard.

I don´t min/max, too old and too lazy to get all the stats right ... I just go with whatever the wind blows my way, if it´s fancy I put it on. I only have 3 talents I really like keep, the rest is mostly just random .. so no, I will never tank ..... but is it at all possible?

People seem to die like flies around me every time the heat gets turned up at tier 4.

By way of focusing on armor, skill power, strong healing, and use of the Ballistic Shield, it is definitely possible to occupy a tank archetype. But even building full tank doesn't mean you can play foolishly. No matter your build, you won't be able to carelessly body block an enemy heavy from point blank range.
