Well Its a dpser in tanking gear, only thing that changes is he would use his taunt, so really It still feels like Dps roll and not a tank roll. Yes you can do two tanks if u have good dps, One tank if u have good healers, or w/e the guild prefers. Honeslty they need to beef up NM mode and add higher chance for rakata then Focus on putting out multi tank content cause 1 tank and 1 offtank is silly.

you do need two tanks for 16 EV cause of the Adds, but once again Im the "off tank" most of the time. I run Dps AC and use tank gear, Im also a shadow.

No you dont need two tanks for that... I dont know how to respond cause I dont tank but Its not been an issue... tank gets knocked back then "Storms" in and taunts. Simple.

I understand what your saying, The best Sents ive seen are watch spec... oh and I pvp all the time 60 valor before Ilum hell and stuff like that.

The Key thing to Note here is you level... Theres very little difference in stats and not much in AC to notice a diff in pvp.

lol^ why not ask "you friend"

Melee dps in tank gear for jarg/sorno and simi fights. chain cc the arks with good healers etc etc, Everything thus far can be done with one tank... I know cause Im a shadow who geared as tank and is now rolling as dps in order to be in Operations. Every boss fight is a DPS race so you either need a pretend tank or DPS'ers who can carry the slack

^Im now dps in Operations, Makes me sad/

No point in arguing as all end game content is a joke and pvp is as well. Ops can be the hardest healer to kill in pvp, Problem is very few people are at that level of gameplay and the ones that are often respec to dps for pvp.

^ the 10% will go up as more and more try Soa

That all sounds good on paper, but end game tanking Juggs are better, PvP... It's all about style.

um If your using PvE gear and not self modding everything then every tank once geared will have 20k+ hp and 40%+ mitigation. It's a moot point.

IF you doing endgame... Inquis/Ops have great healing synergy... Just saying. And being able to heal on the run is a huge advantage.

my guild has done all of EV NM outside of SoA, with one tank, ANd SoA can be done with one as well, SO yeah so far you only need one tank,

^ If you (the OP) have never had a true OWpvp experience it's truely hard to understand. I hail from the land of SwG, all problems put aside I Loved PvP in Swg... People pvp for the sake of PvP rights, to claim the best to be the best for the challenge etc etc. Warzones are the same repeat strat over n over and lots of times you got people Pvp'ing for the Easy gear or titles instead of enjoyment, braging rights, lulz moments. Take away the pvp rewards and titles and you would see how few the true pvpers are. ^check my sig.

Then why pvp? It's all bout the challenge, becoming the very best like no one ever was...

I dont play a sent, but I raid with Two, Ones combat other is Watch... watch destroys combat, our combat sent just switched over to Watch spec and was amazed at how much more dmg he was dishing, even tho combat is supposed to dish out more burst and watch more sustained, it just doesnt work that way atm.

NM is a joke, not even woth having in game atm.

Taunts in this game Reduce Dmg Done to all temmates, Minus You. Guard + taunt Is a very good reason to target tanks...Especially if they know how to use CC. As for Squish tanks go, Shadows have it worse and like others have said, Knight tanking comes into it's own later on. IF you enjoy Tanking in pvp as I do and it sounds like you do , then stick with it, Level up and spam WZs a little less

^/highfive lol

cause Im almost at 24k hp, and 12k = half, duh.

Get used to it tbh. We have less mitigation so our health will always spike. Just learn when to use cooldowns/relics/adrenals, and have a good healer with yeah.

Sorry but you are wrong, Guard + taunt = lolz, tank has to be burned 1st

As a tank spec ur job is to Guard, taunt, and cc the **** out of healers or any dps trying to get ur healers. That's your job.

I hit 60 valor before Ilum patch as a shadow tank, before patch I went to ilum for the valor buff and no I did not trade swap points, Now I dont go to ilum and I rarely do warzones as Imps are getting so far ahead with gear. So Sad.
