BBriggs Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Will Powertechs be good enough tanks to tank operations? I know we shouldn't make comparisons to WoW, but in this way we can. My guild always would take a warrior or paladin tank over a bear tank. Is that how its going to be with Powertechs and Sith Juggarnauts? Juggs being the warriors/paladins and Powertechs being bears.

BH is more akin to a Paladin, Juggernauts are Warriors and Assassins are Bears. That is of course, a very, very, loose generalisation. Edit: To answer the question simply. Yes, we can tank anything at end game if your gear is the correct level, and you are good enough for the content.

BBriggs Posted December 24, 2011 Author Share Posted December 24, 2011 Okay cool. I want to tank in this game but didn't know the right class, and PT sounds fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadempty Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 A lot of people seem to like BH over Juggs and Assassins purely b/c they don't take as much spike damage due to higher chance to shield. So that means healing them is a little more predictable. Besides that, they have really good mitigation, strong AoE and decent CDs. However every class is endgame tank viable so pick one you like. I mainly picked BH b/c I liked their skillset more as a tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zansobar Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 It looks like BH PT Shield Spec has more armor talents too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kollbjorn Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 So far I have seen enough conflicting opinions about which tanks are "better" that they are probably fairly well balanced. I certainly wouldn't worry about not being picked to tank something because you are a Powertech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a general rule of thumb, BH's are best at trash pulls and bosses with adds, Juggernauts are best for Single target bosses and Assassins sit somewhere in the middle as jack of all trades.

Grahfh Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 I've main tanked EV norm8man as shield tech over jugg in blues and greens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinemetu Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 As an operative, I definitely prefer healing BH's for trash pulls and such. Healing juggernauts I often find myself healing AND tanking. Whee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
