I’m going to push back on this a little bit.
I think

is one of the best abusers of Tera we’ve gotten. It’s a big stat stick with a decent defensive typing, and its physical movepool is quite nice! Getting things like Ice Punch and Stomping Tantrum allows it to box with a decent amount of the format. I can see it working on screens teams, damage control stuff, and acting as an Assault Vest button presser. I don’t expect it to ever hit A in the current metagame. I think it’s a solid B, B+ mon and will see some decent use.
In terms of building around it, you did a good job of picking out the problem parts of the metagame for dear old

, and then there’s

! It would really benefit from some strong Water type and Fighting type friends like

and

to help handle quite a few of these threats (you could also run

next to it). I think it just straight up needs damage control or redirection to function, so you can probably get away with

or

for that extra survivability. There’s always good old MetaMence (

+

) for that sweet sweet bulldoze weakness policy. Once again, not an A level mon, because it needs a lot of support to function. What it does do is really get going when it’s on a roll. I will not stand for

slander.
