In Spiral Knights, another action rpg I play with a "arcade" mode where there is no healing bar the occaisional health drops from monsters, there was a patch a while ago that added passive pets that boost your stats (and don't auto-attack) One of the pets adds a skill you can use (the game has...

People tend to forget the main role of a tank in a co-op based game, especially when suggesting it into games such as these where there are no "auto-attacks" and no "100% accuracy" attacks, where damage is avoided with skill, not with superior arbitrary numbers. This isn't a game where you just...

Jester laughs at your futile attempts to find one as broken as she is.

They already have a unique function, and that is a dramatic decrease of the movement speed penalty when charging. With full points in the associated talent, you can literally walk full speed while charging. It's freaking awesome already.

You don't join through the steam chat interface (as you're relying on not one but two flimsy network programs developed by two completely different people to work perfectly together) as you can join a player through the join option in the ingame menu.

You can just use the steam multiplayer feature which is a VPN in itself, so you don't even have to use Hamachi. (Hamachi is confusing as heck to anyone who isn't a techie, and never was originally designed for games in the first place. Literally anything is better, Tunngle, GameRanger, OpenVPN...
