thorizdin Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 It entirely depends on the rest of your team make up. Everyone yelling "Shadow" is trying to follow the perceived FotM but that most certainly is NOT the right answer for pre-made teams. Solo queuing I can understand more where you don't have a defined role, but frankly any of the tanks do well as tanks in PvP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blankchild Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 (edited) Shadow is so laughably op in pvp. I'm convinced that you can randomly hit your keybinds and still win some encounters. Edited April 6, 2012 by Blankchild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thorizdin Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Incorrect. Go Shadow. Shrug, follow the FotM chase but be prepared to get facerolled in team ranked WZ's... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Upurss Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 who best tank for pvp for solo/pre made Vanguard,gurdian,shadow ? Do you want to actually play the role of a tank? or just have tanky like stats? Cause if you want to play the role of a tank in pvp I think Guardian is hands down the winner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darianth Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Guardian, I play one now (lvl 48) and I usually average top 3 from protection alone, put will all the taunts buffs. Same thing with me with my jugg which is only lvl 24. I mean its not uncommon for me to get 10 commendations in a match with all the protection I give and the fact that i usually get over 75 k damage and around 25 kills every match.

Viliphied Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 If you want to go full tank, like 31 pts in the tanking tree, Shadow is the best and it's not even remotely close. However hybridish specs like Iron Fist Vanguard or Def/Vig guardians can hold their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ssinssrigg Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 from personal experience, I love my assassin. Playing him is amazing; I feel like I have every single move I could want in a pvp encounter. I have a stun, an interrupt, an aoe knockback, a sprint, two slows, self healing, defensive CDs, offensive CDs, force pull- Really, the only thing I -don't- have is a warp-to move, like the Guardian / Jugg.. But seriously, that's it. I seriously feel like I've got everything -except- free ranged damage and, like I said, the warp-to, which is fine, 'cause I have sprint, slows, and a pull-to instead. And, and, that's just at 38. I can't really give any advice on the other two tanks, however, as my PT is like 15 and my Jugg doesn't exist, 'cause yeah.

ColePomaikai Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Shadow is so laughably op in pvp. I'm convinced that you can randomly hit your keybinds and still win some encounters. I have a shadow and can confirm this is very close to the truth, they must not be on CD. Otherwise you are right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
