If you don't like it that much don't use Dark Ward. I'm full deception spec and with pve tank gear I have been able to tank every HM and EV HM. Only thing I havn't tried is NM EV.
I have not tanked as other classes but tanking as an assassin is overly easy. Not sure why you're having a problem.
If they didn't do them fast you would be crying they take to long to push out patches. Really no one cares what u think. Stop wasting your time with post like this.
I play a lv50 deception assassin and I do fine in warzones. 200k+ dmg, 25+ kills, I almost never die, 220-300DPS, and 9-10 medals. That's every match. You just need to find what works for you.
Deception spec I win 90% of my 1v1s hardest being healers. Go operative if u wanna win every fight. Once they get geared they can kill you before there stuns are up.
blackout/relic, Maul, discharge, voltaic, voltaic, stun , maul , shock
This isn't set in stone bec you have to react to the other players. You may need to slow or jolt.
Let's hope they add 4s and 8s premades. Also maybe a sweet death match map. So everyone who chases kills in Huttball can get there fix there and play as a team in HB!
I have np killing people on my Lv32 Assassin. I have found that if u wish to kill people don't roll tank spec also you have to fight each class different. Learn there skills and use yours to counter what they do.
So you went with the Tank tree. If you wanna do more dmg u will need to find a healer friend. I did tank for a while but respeced to DPS it's way more fun.
