Freeborne Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 I've just finished gearing my 50 healer, and now I'm looking to level a tank so I can help the guild out. Have you had fun tanking as Shadow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rejectoo Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Think the most fun is having 4 to 6 imps beating on you in PvP and wondering how long it will take them to kill you. I love it cause normally can take 1 or 2 with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thalick Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Currently level 37 Shadow Tank. Tons of fun. Still pretty squishy in PvP without a healer (to be expected). PvE has been great. Running around with Tharan, if I drop below 70% health it means I'm probably doing something wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellisande Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Shadow tanking is awesome in PvE but kinda sucks in PvP against other level 50s as it takes too much damage and deals too little damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaedea Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Um, i'm not shadow. sith assassin (same thing really) I'm loving it so far lv50 tank and We're not as squishy as you'd think. its abit different from what normal tanks have but its good fun having all the other tools like sprint and the "cloak of shadows" as well as force pull. PvP wise I'm enjoying it the most, such satisfaction force pulling someone into acid/fire then stunning them I can hold my own against two or 3 people till back-up arrives quite comfortably, and I tend to have about 40-60k protection by the end of a match!

Dyinn Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 All the positive above... And... perhaps you should wait for UI customization before you start since what we do most of the time is staring at those few pixels of 1920px monitor space for proc, buff and other stuff that makes us effective.

Silverspar Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Shadow Tanking is a blast. It's fun especially when fully geared level 50 imps are trying to wail on you. It's even funnier when they try to act like they have skill wailing on a bunch of lowbies and then you just kick their butt 1 on 1 and you have very little or no PvP gear.

Fayst Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Shadow tanking is awesome in PvE but kinda sucks in PvP against other level 50s as it takes too much damage and deals too little damage. bs. theres shadow tanks > shadow dps anytime.

Belly Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 PvE it's great, Time your interrupts well and keep Tharan close by and you are practically immortal. I don't PvP much because my lag is 800ms on a good day here in Iraq, but I have managed a few kills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coruscantnights Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I love tanking as a Shadow. Honestly I believe Shadow tanking is better than Guardian tanking, at least from my own experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
