Shadowaus Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 So i got to level 25 with my Jugg.. still no aoe threat abilities (other than smash... which isnt saying much) and STILL groups dont understand how it works :/ Aoe everything down! (this isnt wow...) The minute anyone pulls threat off me with an aoe, except the healer) they can tank the thing and when they die, ill taunt it back... If another sorc runs into a group of mobs that im tanking, and pushes them all away ill make sure they die every time i get the chance.... Not hitting my target after ive asked you to do so multiple times? Yep, you can die too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frezu Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Guild Wars 2 is said to remove tanking completely. I'm interested in seeing how that will turn out. Their threat is generated by attacking the nearest enemies, so anyone can tank, and since there is no healing class, everyone is a self sufficent healer. It sounds like a good idea on paper, but is it in reality? I'm not to happy with tanking or healing either. Because it revolves around to me either spamming sundering strike / taunt, perhaps a force sweep for AoE (im a guardian). its a very stale rotations. and having rotations in general is pity:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinksock Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 People are doing this because the other two tank specs in the game are pretty well-equipped for AOE, and they figure the Jugg must be too. Before starting the instance/group quest, tell your DPS what you want them to do and how to handle pulls, and they'll generally do it. It's really a non-issue if you don't mind communicating a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really a non-issue if you don't mind communicating a little. This is the biggest problem in my experience. People are used to the other classes who can faceroll through FPs because of their high dps then get in a group with a jugg and just dont cooperate. Ive completely stopped doing FPs at this point because its just too much of a headache trying to teach people how to play with a jugg and if already know dealing with them ignoring what needs to be done. MMO players in my experience are not a dynamic group and if Bioware thinks that groups will change strategies due to the class whos tanking theyre sorely mistaken.

sabdizzle Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Force charge autocrit slam, cleave isn't enough for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lakshri Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 (edited) Force charge autocrit slam, cleave isn't enough for you? Because on lvl 25 he got all abilities pretty sure he only have smash ( that work on luck ) and single target taunt Edited January 1, 2012 by Lakshri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabdizzle Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 He should have guard at that point. I've never had healers pull off me in flash points or heroics when they were guarded. And i'm only like level 29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafkin Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 You need to retrain your tanking brain. You dont neex aggro on everything. There are good cc abilities, make people use them. Educate dps people. Make them burn down those weak ranged mobs. They all want to burn the bosses because they have been trained that topping the dps meter on bosses is what the cool kids do.

Lakshri Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 (edited) sorry but no no one cares about education people will rather take other 2 tank classes than spend 3 more minutes thinking what to CC what to kill first Edited January 1, 2012 by Lakshri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
