    Skank Tank or Shank Tank imbalance

    in PvP

    Posted · Edited by Caeliux

    Personally the reason people have gravitated toward skank builds is that the dps builds of Van/PT and Guard/Jug are too weak and the tank version has no place. .

     

    PT isn't weak dps wise, but is defensively, same with jug but jug is better off than PT current, and sin is good across the board current.

     

    Tanks have no place cause of gear ration not providing actually mitagation good enough, sin does more because of way its been laid out, light armor spec still exist for it so it gets more mitigation than pt and jug current.

     

    The fix AGAIN is to make tanks in hard cap defensive rating no crit, meaning you can't crit a full geared tank if they are hard capped defensive rating in pvp.

     

    The fix also is along some of the skills to provide maybe a good one hit or 2, where some decent damage can be put out in a full tank gear setting.

     

    The fix also is not allowing tanks to wear any dps gear, mods ect, make it spec mandatory to wear one certain named gear only that way no hybrid can happen. If tanks wanna gimp themselves after that they pay the price with the no crit.

     

    The no crit would make tanks viable, stats needed adjusted for tanks to be viable, cause current its not.

    My mindset is not elitist, I played on TEH and I'm pretty confident how things are going on there. There is one decent PVP guild that does qsyncing (and probably wintrading, not sure about that) and farms the vast majority of the server, which is kinda bad. Most people don't know general ranked rules (such as vanish regen on marauder, mezzing the healer or mercenary etc). In team ranked this guild is usually running gay comps such as double tank and gay strats such as TT. Still not enough to beat top NA teams. .

     

    Same thing has been happening on harb for years. Either was double ap with skank tank or now if team ranked was going on it would be a skank tank comp. Its reason 4's has died, cause game has imbalance not only with tanks but other classes that need tuned, heals, snipers, merc ect.

     

    About me being skank tank - I was playing vengeance until massive mercs and snipers buff. Mostly in s7 when juggs dps weren't really viable in solos already, and got top 3 by only playing dps. In s8 afrer some ninja nerfs and mercs/snipers domination it become unreal to achieve any success in solo ranked as dps. Not saying I'm enjoying tank that much, but since other disciplines are garbage there aren't many options.

    But looks like it's not enough for bioware, and they nerfed the overall damage of all jugg disciplines at the same time. I guess primarily because of nonsense QQ threads.

     

    Like I said I know you run a skank tank do get that rating, Kana'ba runs on my server and is one of the top rated. The normal of late is jug or sin skank tanks all over the place. Every now and then a pt but mostly jug and sin skank.

     

    The damage overall of other classes surpass jug and pt defenses in this current state.

     

    I apologize for going there with you about your rating, my point being most of these post are from people who play skank in the current imbalance and wanna make it out like everything is all fine and peachy which by a long stretch isn't.

     

    I do think heals is way overtuned, I do think sniper and merc are really crazy dps atm, I do think too many off-heals is going on. I do think PT needs some work, I do think there is alot of imbalance across the board.

     

    And I stand behind tanks being fixed or ever overhauled to work in tank gear to provide a spec where dps isn't needed to be fun as well being viable.

     

    I will hold my breath.

    can everyone please stop bumping this awful thread? this will be my last post in it the guy breathing life into his thread every day is talking about queue syncing in TEAM RANKED

     

    queue syncing

     

    in team ranked

     

    is this really a person worth arguing with? we're banging our collective head against a wall here.

     

    Q sync in solo, there is no team ranked, and if you even tried to understand what I was saying it would amaze you.

     

    There is countless groups geting into a ops syncing to get same pops in their guild with friends to boost their rating.

     

    Because there is no team ranked.

     

    Do I need to elaborate more?

     

    ps. Do you ever not post senseless jargon to provide any support unless its a marauder discussion?

    I don't understand why this thread is still going on. It doesn't look like anyone plays actual team ranked here. .

     

    You mean actually team ranked, or lack of a better term q sync. Cause let me tell you q sync is happening alot. Lets not forget reg pvp is stocked piled with skank tanks and healers, no actually dps anymore, and if so its few and far between.

     

    Nobody ever played with skank tank premade, unless for massive lulz. You're saying skank tanks are imbalancing 4s. But what will happen if tanks will suddenly do way less damage? Acid will happen. Every single game.

    Healing is still very strong and TTK is too big, skilled healers can routinely do 8k+++ hps in arenas, which does to 10k with DPS' self healing abilities. At this point to actually kill something before acid another team should do 12k dps minimum, which isn't possible without dps geared tanks. .

     

    You mean if tanks actually benefited with tank gear like it should be? Well isn't that the whole purpose of being a tank is actually having gear that matters to the point where the spec don't have to be relevant wearing dps gear in solo or in regs?

     

    So please stop this massive nonsense thread, jump off your casual RP server and try real queue against real teams.

     

    Don't get it twisted, just because Ebon Hawk has the word roleplay under its title, don't mean real legit PvPers don't exist on the server. I am here to tell you there is a decent guilds and players who play on Ebon Hawk. Harbringer isn't the all be all server it used to be, I know TRE has some hitters there probably the best but thats EU and I am a US player.

     

    Don't judge my post with a elitist mindset with your server status, judge the thread as a whole.

     

    And if I am not mistaken looking at your rank, ain't yourself rolling skank tank JUG in solo to get a rating?

     

    http://www.swtor.com/leaderboards/character/4611688396330894464

     

    Is this is why you criticize me cause your having a decent successful solo ranked season in skank tank, and you don't want the rug being pulled under you cause then you would have to be a dps JUG, which is't doing well at all in solo?

    For the love of God... We have a person who plays a Merc, an OP and a marauder complaining about PTs, Sins, and Juggs being OP. It is hilarious but yet at the same time pitiful......

     

    Did you even read the thread, I never said overpowered.

     

    I said imbalanced, which is actually a fact.

     

    There is a difference between a class being overpowered, and a spec being imbalanced due to lack of fine tuning with the gear and what the spec actually should be doing.

     

    Read the thread, before you come and throw the he said nonsense, what I never said nonsense please and ty.

    Just because you spam the forums with your opinion of what a tank should do doesn't mean bioware or anyone should pay attention to you.

     

    Ain't we the people who pay for the sub or even subscribe to the content to be exactly what we paid for, or has the population like yourself completely given up on plain facts even as remotely as fixing tanks for PVP should be a addressed issue? The combat team themselves took away hybrid skills trees over imbalance, and cut and dry made classes to have roles. If I am not mistaken the tank tree follows the suit of absorb and shield rating, not power, not crit, not alacrity.

     

    So instead of smacking the messenger (me) about the fact of imbalance of PVP tanks wearing dps gear, why not comment at all unless you have some hardcore evidence the system is ok with the abomination.

     

    Cause all I got so far is "Since tank gear is irrelevant, I am going to hybrid dps a tank to fluff damage until then"

     

    Or the big elephant in the room "Long as I can do it, who cares"

     

    If you want to actually look at class balance look at sniper 5.0 healing utils and ruthless aggressor.

     

    You're talking semantics, about a personal opinion on other classes that needs tuned, so this comment you care strongly about right?

     

    Why can't I care about tanks?

     

    Fair enough?

    Why should tanks not be allowed to dps?

     

    TL: DR Please stop calling your opinion of what a tank should do in pvp a fact

     

    Tank = meat shield, not meat shield with a sharp sword.

     

    Its game imbalance allowing hybrid tanks be able to be used in a trinity game.

     

    Just because you and others enjoy it, don't mean it isn't a broken system, even Bioware knows it.

     

    Truth of matter is, its a game changer allowing such reckless abandonment on class balance when it come to it, and until this fix happens PVP in this game will continue to be a slug fest of skank tanks and healers.

    I don't see how that could work. Can you elaborate ?

     

    Its simple. Tank mitigation that defense rating is giving needs to be tied directly from the shield equipped. Meaning the tank specs needs a overhaul completely to provide actual mitigation for pvp. ATM the current stat of tanks is useless in pvp far as a meat shield is concerned.

     

    Sure a high HP tank takes longer to kill, but there is problems that exist for jug and pt where shadow actually is given a boost cause its still categorized as a light armor class in the spec itself.

     

    The absorb and shield rating either needs adjusted or put in use for tanks better. No crit for max tanks needs to happen.

     

    As well tanks should least have one offensive move even in full tank gear that does damage due to maybe a high defense rating.

     

    Tanks should not be able to mix a match Dps gear, its imbalanced if game allows a tank to be able to hybrid itself.

     

    Bottom line is this fix should of been done years ago, there needs to be fixes to pt and jug tanks to equal the mitigation sin tanks has. As well offering a stable defense with some fine tuned offensive moves to make the class unique being a tank.

     

    ATM, these Skank tanks is imbalancing the game, nobody wants to do 4s cause of it, nobody wants to gear as a full tank cause of it, the game is now a complete slug fest of healer and Skank tank premades.

     

    Its a abomination of bioware allowing this to happen.

    What these hypocrits don't realize is that real tank will always be useless in ranked PVP even if they fix tank stats and make them super viable in PVP too.

     

    The reason ? Because in solo ranked they won't always have a healer to keep them alive and unless they make them super/hyper durable, they will be killed fast by DPS. You just cannot survive as a real tank with tank stats for PVP... And not to mention the fact that you won't be able to do any meaningful DPS as a real tank either which in 4vs4 arena will also make you more useless.

     

    So yes. skank tank is the only option for PVP now and in the future ? Don't like it ? Well.. you'd better get used it. I hate skanks too.. but I see no other way for these people if they want to tank in PVP, especially in ranked arenas.

     

    Your wrong, tank could work if tanks was adjusted properly.

     

    Solo ranked is a lottery, regs is a scrimmage.

     

    4s team ranked is endgame since 8 man was taken away. Problem is nobody wants to do 4s cause people can't fight adversity dealing with people who are either good at it, or fact of certain comps like for instance triple pt being a tough comp to beat as a example.

     

    So by your logic you think solo is the judge of not improving tanks cause you think it be useless?

     

    Main fact is no tank class should be able to wear Dps gear at all. That's a fact, not some myth. Bioware has known this problem and still hasn't done nothing about it.

    Thanks for the video links etc...

     

    I dunno, I did all ya'll suggested and I even did the registry edits. I think it's either a memory leak in the game engine or you HAVE to have a godly processor (i have an i5 4th gen).

     

    It doesn't make sense that from the settings on Ultra to Very Low I only see a 5-10 fps diff in Wz's. It also doesn't make sense that I start the WZ around 150fps and within 2 minutes i'm down in the 30-50 range. In operations i never drop below 60 even in 8 man raids.... I dunno... it's really depressing, One of my Favorite games of all time and I've spent a LOT of time on it in the past 3 or so weeks getting a char to 70 etc..... I already spent $250 on a new GPU just to play this game. Dunno if it's worth dropping another $300 into a new processor on the "chance" I can actually function in PVP. I know this has been an issue since launch, it's one of the reasons I stopped playing 3 years ago. This is the 4th mid to high end machine I've tried to pvp on with the same issues. Sucks.

     

    You welcome mate, and I am sorry your having problems.

     

    My advice current even with my videos is, have 8 gigs of ram but if you can spend more and have 4 slots go 16 gigs. Run Razor Coretex, and dim graphics down.

     

    To be frank 40-60 fps is not bad, when you deep in 1-10 then you see a huge lag spike of crap...

    So you assume that the 8 players in the top 30 that play assasin, powertech, or jugg are all playing tank....So what is the except able number of jugs, assassins and powerts in the top 30.. I guess that number is zero.... They surely can't be playing a dps spec..... Not a one.. And since it appears sorts can pull a 2600 on the leaderboards all sorcs need a serious nerf

     

    Far as Jug or PT, yes skank.

     

    Sin and Shadow I assume is a mix between few dps and few skanks.

     

    Point being, you asked me to name one skank tank ranked, and I did.

     

    Not sure what you are pointing out, the obvious?

     

    The obvious is skank tank in this season, and in this patch 5.4 is a problem of imbalance in the game.

     

    Bioware knows it, we all KNOW it, so until they actually fix the problems of stats not being good for tank to be a real tank in pvp, and being pretty much useless, then we are going to have dps tanks imbalancing the game until then.

     

    Like most people have said, why gear for a real tank when a dps tank is better.

     

    Those that play tank in pvp don't have a choice but to go skank, and its because of bioware not balancing the game properly....

    I put my rig together close to 5 years ago..

    I'm running an i5 3470-3.4Ghz processor, GTX 560Ti, 16GB RAM, 256 Gig SSD and a 750w power supply.

    I set my in game graphics pretty low and i average 120-150fps in fleet and in WZs.

    I can raise my graphics settings up pretty high and still get 50-60 fps but it puts my GPU usage at 100% and the extra juice draw tends to overload my battery backup so i choose to keep my settings low.

    On occasion I'll get lag that isn't graphics related but more of a network path issue.

    I think BW did some backend tuning on their graphics in the past year to address certain lag issues.

     

    BW figured out there was holes in the bandwidth, I think some servers stretch out so badly from beginning, server like Fatman ect because of high pop servers.

    Alternatively you could just buy a not-potato and play on that? I run swtor in wz at 85+ FPS, sure I get 120 in other games but there's no skillshots here in SWTOR so 85 is plenty.

     

    Even beast pc are having major lag spikes and low fps in warzones.

     

    The videos are for everyone, mostly directed to those that have labtops or lower grade pc computers.

     

    I agree build a better computer is the ticket, but not everyone has money. :)

    Yes, sounds like my typical experience when fighting a merc in 5.x.

     

    Merc is godly strong no kidding.

     

    Still remains, tank needs some love little bit, but not nothing crazy. Fix some of the defensive stats up, and apply some better mitigation for pvp.

     

    Ps. Skank tank damage is crazy, 20k to 25k crit bombs, as well being able to tank is imbalanced gameplay Bioware.

     

    You have created a monster in pvp with Skank tanks.

     

    @Musco Hey I know you mentioned it on the video with Snave. So where is this fix you and the combat team knows needs fixed man?
