Colossus, I look at all the items I am adding to the javelin 3 billion amrour and 3 billion health per item! Waaahoo! But lets make them so slow and cumbersome that they get hit by everything.
BioWare has done this going back to most of their games. Krogans....fun classes to play but bigger hit boxes and no dodge so you get sync killed more.
Dragon Age games, two handed beefy fighters, total wimps.
The Colossus's extra amour does not make up for their rotten weapons and or special attacks and mobility.
Yes, yes....'Lean to play!'
About the only true tank BioWare did right was the Giant Geth tank.
Come at me bros!

I thought Colossus was supposed to be constantly ramming and killing low level enemies to pick up health packs to counteract the damage they received. Does that not work? They sure look pretty survivable.

I disagree, Colossus is the best at everything in the game so far, including tanking(I kind of wish it wasnt)! To tank properly though you would probably need a Best Defense with +charges on it. Seriously though, Storm and interceptor for me felt like wet tissue paper when going up difficulty levels, so they need that extra mobility.
GM3 however without a constant way to replenish health or full legendary gear with +armour inscriptions you might struggle tanking. GM2 or below is easy mode with good gear, I havent got best defense or legendary components and my colossus can just shrug off most hits and just melee stuff for health, or pick it up off mobs. The component that gives you ultimate charge on low health works great too.

Collosus is quite tanky, especially in comparison to other available javelins.
Therefore git gut.

Come at me bros! this is so wrong.... Colossus is a beast. Its the interceptor's speed that makes him survive and Rangers healing ability by comboing. In Inquisition and Da2 a 2hand build was tanky AF. Da2 you just need a couple of Cunning points for 25%+ dodge and in Inquisition you need some talents that build up Guard (for nightmare difficulty with friendly fire) Sword and shield pales in comparison.

I thought Colossus was supposed to be constantly ramming and killing low level enemies to pick up health packs to counteract the damage they received. Does that not work? They sure look pretty survivable. Yes that works well. Low level enemies. Sooner or later the spawns include the tough damage dealers or the bosses. Much like melee krogans cleaning up on low levels but being very sync killable.

Since when is the two-handed the tank? Sword and shield is the way to go if you want more defense. Two-handed is more for DPS, which is why Cassandra can take more shit than the Iron Bull could.

The Legionnaire in DAIMP is extremely tanky, and the Templar is pretty tanky, too. The Human Juggernaut in MEAMP is also pretty tanky.
Krogans, however, have been in a weak spot, due to mobility more than anything else. The Katari (Qunari warrior) in DAIMP was also memed and said to be made of paper. For some reason Bioware does seem to have somewhat of a problem when it comes to bigger and bulkier kits. Lack of mobility does not really make up for being bigger, having more health and a larger hitbox. They need the mobility, and/or some form of health regen.
Oh wait, we were talking about Anthem, amirite?
I think the Colossus does ok, but you can't really play the dedicated tank role, standing in one spot and taking damage. You are better off speccing it for damage.
