Order tanks, pros/cons and discussion

[Kaitanaroyr]

Play SM to be different. Only ever good as DPS tanks imo (and assisting WLs)

endgame a turtle sm will out live all tanks except regen bg.

True but kotbs is the only tank with 2 interrupts atm

But ib has the ultimate troll ability with shield of reprisal since there seems to be no kb immunity being calculated at lest that would be if the ability didn't seem to miss 60% of the time

Doesn't matter if you can live forever if your allies are all dead besides why are we discussing what a class is like in "endgame" which is like years from now

Do Chosen/Knight auras apply to everyone in your SC? I feared that, for the lack of groups, they would only apply to yourself and the enemies.

[amputationsaw]

They apply to everyone. The groups in SCs are existing, we just can't see them.
only thing about kotbs's str aura is that the enemy will be raised, not reduced

[Kaitanaroyr]

Hoping they add what was going to be added to sm/bo once t4 is done made them much more useful in groups.

I want to point out to everyone in this thread first and formost that razid is doing so much damage because she is using the on your gaurd aura kotbs have more felibilty than chosens on what auras they can run because if your have played on either side you will notice that its VERY common for ordo to have atleast 4 bw's in every sc this makes it almost mandatory that chosens have to run the resist aura where as destro is more of a fan of the melee train and sorcs are not as frequent in sc's

having said that i want to tell you that accoring to luth in the sticky class status thread On your guard is bugged atm to the extent that its kinda op it does retrun damge on every enemy instead of the staggered interval further more since everyone is considred in your grp in scs atm the aura works on everyone on your team whom takes a hit....I.E what im tring to say is that dont go buy razids dmg in scs

BUTTTTTTTT KoTBS was the best dam tank in the game in live that it out shied EVERY OTHER DAM TANK in the game with great cc and giving everyone 20% base crit its rather appaling that the class was that good, i hope that either all other tanks are buffed up or KOTBS is nerfed

anyway best tanks are hands down KOTBS>IB>SM

if you want to play sm i strongly suggest you go offclas with 2h cause its a rather underweling snb tank compared to the former 2

Chosen is far and away the best tank at tier 4 no comparison IMO. 'Corrupting Aura' and 'Crippling strikes' puts them well ahead of the curve in organized play. If you have a black orc second tank, run resist aura and land crits, 40% or more reduction in magic damage for the team. Over the top is an understatement.

I'd suggest to the Devs to allow SM's to block with their 2H

Would negate the reason to use a shield. would be better if separate sets of defense armor are added instead of set having Block have it give bonus to parry dodge or disrupt ended up having almost 25% block in 100 defensive set with a two hander.
