Kalshic Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 I've been thinking about making either a tank or healer here. Is the a shortage of tanks/healers? If so which one is there more of a shortage of? I don't mind playing Imperial or republic, though I'd prefer republic. I'd probably role a Jedi Knight for Republic tanking, smuggler for healing. For Imperial I'd go warrior tank or BH Healer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_Sicosis Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 For PvP or PvE? PvP: Tanks and Healers are few and far between, though it has been a bit better lately. PvE: Really depends on raid composition of your guild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icebergy Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Be a good tank to get into PuGs. Be a good DPS to get into guilds. Be a good healer to have a chance at both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SowanutZ Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Wait until 2.4. Who's going tank? By and large I'm still not convinced that tanks are very good on this server at all. It's not that there aren't good players who roll tanks, but that we're on a pve server and that unlike healers or dps, tanks have a vastly different role in pvp that they just are not aware of. I'm willing to help anyone out but the fact remains that there are only a handful of players who tank properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chromedbustop Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Admittedly I've been away from the game for a few months, but I never saw there being much of a tank or healer shortage. At least no more than any other MMO I've played. Although maybe it depends on if you're talking PVP or PVE. I don't know anything about whats what in PVP. What I will say is that you should pick a role you want to play because you actually want to play that role, not just to get insta queues, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlixMV Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Yeah, you don't mention if you're asking for PVP or PVE, but my experience trying to queue for PVE Flashpoints and Operations is that the shortage is generally with tanks--although occasionally as a tank I have to wait in queue for a healer. So the answer is: yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
