Inixus Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 just wondering who you guys picked to tank, Xalek or Khem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obelisk-Kai Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 The longer I play the game, the more the answer is Xalek. Even though I am a Sorc, all the spare tokens I get are converted into tier gear for him and his HP just keeps creeping up and up and up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with Xalek's bugged Shield/Absorbtion stats he reaches a point that he's better than Khem, since you can outfit him in your old pvp/tier gear.

Tenacity Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 He'll definitely be the top choice once they get around to actually fixing his stats. Hopefully they do that by the time the 1.2 patch is out =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spifnar Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 None of my old gear as a sorc is good for a tank. Both tanks have poor DPS in any stance and with any gear. This is due to long cooldowns on attacks making them sit there and stare at whatever they're attack way too much. They also have poor mitigation without a lot of shield/absorb/defense stats, which my hand-me-downs don't have. So I use Khem as he's more effective...but really I use Andro for anything up to and including 1 elite pulls. Khem comes out for double elites...which is pretty rare.

jadjay Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Khem comes out for double elites...which is pretty rare. atm Meh, even with double elites he isn't necessary, just cc one of them while you burn the other down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kantoro Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Khem. In DPS stance, he can skill tank effectively and does about 15% more dps than Xalek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnybigboy Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 The correct answer is Xalek. Okay, maybe it's my opinion but I can't help but believe that my opinion is the only one that matters As a healer, I simply cannot imagine using anything but a tanking pet. I've tried using Ashara and Andro - I have them both in nearly fully columi actually. I still do everything better and faster with Xalek than either of them. I am very aware that this might just be my playstyle, though. If it matters, I solo every daily with Xalek and I only suicide run on Old Enemies thanks to the wall trick on lights out. I do sometimes suicide run on Fallen Jedi but usually just fight through it .. depends how lazy I am that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaliceX Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Khem, until they fix Xalek. Got them both decked out (well got them ALL decked out) Xalek will be a beast when/if they fix him and I'll never pull Khem out again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
