ALoveShot Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 anyone else feel as if since 2.0 assassin tanks have been nerfed way to hard? i mean before rothc we were amazing, so a nerf wasn't completely out of the blue. but now we take way to much damage.

NogueiraA Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Yes, because of pvp whinners again. I leveled a Jugg to be my tank, tanksin is a piece of crap in 2.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowseve Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 There is a lot of discussion of this on the shadow forum and on the tank forum. Juggs are def on top atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasterFeign Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Clearly our dark ward animation has to be brighter to balance this issue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowseve Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Clearly our dark ward animation has to be brighter to balance this issue! This... And we need more Jedi holocrons to fly around us. This will effectively add at least 8% to our total dr. Mobs will be simply to busy laughing at us to hit us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxforcardassia Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Maybe I'm crazy, but I've never felt particularly squishy as an assassin tank. Of course if I'm running something (solo or group) and the heals are lacking... there can sometimes be an issue, but that happens in any situation with a tank (in almost any game). Granted I have never tanked for any ops, but in all honesty even if I'm just running around with Talos I rarely, if ever, drop below 40% morale. Perhaps in some situations it is "nerfed", but in all that I, personally, experience in this game (solo and smaller group pve - little bit of pvp but thays a different story) with my assassin... I have no issues with being all that squishy. My gear is a mix of PvP and classic stuff, not even half of which is augmented -shrug- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kawiki Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 (edited) Yes, because of pvp whinners again. I leveled a Jugg to be my tank, tanksin is a piece of crap in 2.0. Actually Tankasins have been nerfed because of PvE imbalance. We've always had the "best overall" mitigation per BW metrics. They have always been the absolute worst tank in PvP.

Atramar Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 They have always been the absolute worst tank in PvP. I'd disagree. For face tanking, yes, they take it hard, but before 2.0 they were far best utility guarders/ninja cappers/carrier pullers/last man stanting interrupter and behind the lines ball carrier for team play.

They have always been the best node guard, worst main tank. Best off everything, worst main anything. Edited June 27, 2013 by Kawiki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
