Also no, it is possible to make m10 easily in light armor.

He’s saying you don’t even need a tank for pve.

It’s hard to tell when words are thrown together in hopes they make sense to others.

i agree with u don’t need tank in pve, buc u can tank with any role if u have con hehe…
i play tank almost from opening and i don’t feel im tanking there’s smth wrong with tanking no good ability / mobs hit u hard even with 300 con and wards / aggro Disappears fast / don’t forget all nerf for pvp make tanking more trash in pve / all aggro goes to healer and the most damage, i mean losing the aggro very fast when u have a massive dps with u yeah i have ref move and i do ability like spamming but man is that what tank do ?

And did I say something different from that?
I just said that the tank is not even for pve in this game. Our situation is deplorable.
Agree!

Of all the MMO’s I’ve played as a tank, I have to say that playing tank in New World is by far the worse.

They were pretty clear
True.
When you base your whole game on dodges, it makes balancing tanks…dodgy at best. I do believe in the devs, and I think they will eventually get us to a point where tanks exist again, but it seems to be taking quite a while unfortunately. Until then, suit up all your light armor sets, and forget the other armor classes exist - you might enjoy yourself more that way, and avoid the headache of thinking about it.
Lets be honest… it is never going to change. We read and post and have and all waited for so long i have kinda given up. Even with the light 50 con andies bragging everywhere they are tanks but in truth only do Laz and Genesis and are just a Dps with a shield, this game has changed the Term “Tank”. Bruh even someone running around with VG and Rapier pulling aggro and dancing everywhere and most probably turning mobs and bosses on to the group is classed as a Tank in NW now. I actually don’t blame them either as no matter what your build is and setup is or how experienced you are with tanking and using taunts you will lose aggro unless you do a high amount % of dmg. Tanking is the biggest headache in NW right now and has been for awhile and this is why we constantly see global full of “LFM Tank” If you use the strongest tanking weapon in game right now you have just received YET another nerf and thats on the hatchet with “energizing feral rush” changing to a pointless 20% slow. So that’s another nerf to recover our block shield stamina. We was one of the first companies on Dry Tree to complete M10 gold Depths mutation on release… and these days now i just try and avoid it if someone asks me to tank. Sorry to be negative but it’s just less stressful and more fun to be DPS or something else

Other then being savage in duels, and in OPR holding the door with a pocket healer, tanks aren’t **** devs got a hard on for DPS I guess… points for heals and damage in OPR, **** what tank does I guess
Yeah, s&s and hatchet is certainly not assassin build, who is making those posts?
They could change that. Bosses and dungeons mobs should kill everything that doesn’t have a certain armor rating. You have medium/light armor, you die in 1-2 hits, no questions asked. Tanks should be the only ones to reach the armor rating required for the role of tanking. Anything above the armor rating will be added towards the damage mitigation (fortify for instance)
The guy with heavy armor and a shield should be in front. As a tank I sometimes get frustrated by people acting cocky and spreading the aggro, but they don’t get punished for it so there it is
If everyone wants to use heavy armor in dungeons and deal less dmg, then good for them
As for PVP, there’s a great post by someone with the idea of replacing fortify with blessing, where each armor weight receives a different bonus with heavy armor being the only one that receives dmg mitigation ( basically working as fortify now )

Been playing Tank as my only spec since day one(at 458 hrs now) and yes,agreed that Tanks have always been in the back seat and in recent months we are now running full speed behind the car as we loose site of it.
I did a bit of instant tanking early on and it was a bit rough then,though I never did any post level cap tanking so I cant speak to that.
I can speak to OPR as I do like to hop in now and then and even at my (still sad) expertise of 527 and gs 550 or os,I can still hold the cap zone with a healer on me and Im fine saying that I win probably 70% of OPR rounds doing this on caps and gathering/building up the base.Sucks to always finish in the bottom 5 stat wise…would be nice to at least track damage taken.
I always respected tanks in every game, insome even I was tanking, tho here, dont get me wrong, not every one, but lot of tanks thinks that standing holding RMB somewhere is skill and should be rewarded as prince of Zamunda for that… I saw this few times even in expedition or 3v3 and there is very few things more cringe… respect to all tough bad ass tanks, but those bad ones could not git gut even after any buff they could possibly dream about… Its not trashing anyone, if you are offended you arethe problem, not your class, since there are some tanks who are not laughable at all…
You have no clue what you are talking about… go play tank and come back and talk.
Half the problem is AGS. The half is that DPS and Healers don’t know how to play tank in NW so they do dumbass shit and then rant and rave when they die.
If you want a tank to play tank then learn how to play off the tank, not do AOE damage from 100m away and complain when all the mobs beat your ass.
Cringe is being a tank with a group of light armor VG and IG lights that think they shouldn’t wait for an actual tank to, you know, grab aggro
let them. it’s always mildly entertaining.
