Tanks dont exist

Tanks in this game shouldn’t go full const. Go 1:1 with strength. Enough tankiness with shield and heavy and also enough damage to keep the threat at a decent level in PVE.

I play tank as well i just go sword and shield + whatever (hatchet if i need self heal, great axe for damage, hammer for cc and aoe) in PVE and i use g-axe and hammer for pvp.
So far it works well for me. In PvE i guess you know what to do. Get a carnelian on that sword and you good. In PvP (specially wars) just be in the bull of the front line and block/attack/cc follow the leader’s call.
Offcourse in openworld pvp it’s utter garbage you wont 1va anyone but tanks are always made for group anyway. For questing it’s ok xith g-axe damages (not the same spell in pve and pvp) albeit not the best i don’t have anyproblem until level 60 elites.

Hey fellow tanks/shield users, check out my suggestion for improving the final passives both trees.

Maybe make your tone when speaking to me, boy.

It clearly seems You are doing something wrong.

I have in my guild one of best tank I ever met, and trust me when I say that thisis hard to kill this guy. I literally hate making duels with him, cause most times he just hit by hit me, slowly killing during I can do shit to him… Of course, I am also winning, but not with every build, and it is always long way cause of his hp and resists.

So yea, You are doing something wrong. I can give YOu contact to our main tank, he will teach You the job

Lol. Einfach nur Lol. Tanks sind nahezu unsterblich wenn irgendwo ein Heiler ist und davon hat man im Krieg etc. nicht wenige.
Tanks sind der pure counter zu melees wenn es darum geht, caps zu halten etc. Sie kriegen den melee nicht tot, müssen sie auch nicht - sie halten den aber so lange auf bis die verstärkung eintrifft.

Bait or troll?

I’m just gonna leave this here. This guy killed me twice in medium armor cause I was trying it, cause I couldn’t kite his lunges. I consider myself a decent player. I main light armor. I’d say your dmg numbers and inability to resist is a little exaggerated. 375 int btw. Props to this guy for knowing how to tank.

1.0.5 post resil fix

Exactly. Is this guy in my vid the guy??? :joy:

Wenn es in deinen Kopf geht das die PvP balance auf Krieg und Outpost Rush hin balanciert wird, dann wirste das auch verstehen. Und da sind Tanks fein weil es nur um Caps geht und vll mal Baroness tanken. Fett sein und Schaden absorbieren auf einem Cap ist alles was man braucht.

Is this supposed to be some kind of joke? You aren’t wearing any armour there and really playing into the tank’s hands, missed plenty of attacks and didn’t use any potions, which only benefits the mobile attacker. And you still won!

Normally when I face a Mage with equal skill level I never have a chance because my damage output isn’t nearly enough and regardless of maxed out Constitution + Heavy Armour GS 550+ I can’t take hits for long enough to stall out even just 1 opponent.

That’s not the point dude. The tank didn’t use potions either, and tanks are not supposed to win 1v1s. The video is showing how a tank isn’t easy to kill even solo and takes a long ass time. If he has 1 other friend it’s 10x harder for me. Also I was wearing armor, medium, but I took off the heavy chest, so it’s a little less than full light would be. Of course you don’t have a chance, tanks are not dps roles

A tanks role is to soak damage and tank, if this guy used potions I would’ve never killed him.

Flat out not true

Maybe a mechanic where the tank “perfect” blocks and the stam dmg is decreased by 75% or so.

When you wouldn’t have killed him if you were allowed to use potions, then it’s only because of a skill disparity.
A tank has no chance 1v1. As you are saying yourself, there was at least another person alongside him needed to even remotely have a chance against 1 DPS together.

To me this just once more proves how DPS have no idea about tanking in this game never having tried it, yet want to lecture us real tanks about it.

lol no… Have you fought a war lately? I have. Fully invested in CON, heavy resilience armor, sword and shield yada yada and I just melt on the point. I feel almost squishy now.

what?? why? That’s BS.

Tanks don’t win 1v1 cause they are not meant to
Healers shouldn’t win 1v1 cause they are not meant to.

If you have full const you are building wrong.

Resilience is fixed, not much value now.

because soaking tons of damage and doing a lot of damage is broken. Tanks CAN win 1v1s but it requires the damage dealer to commit and not run.

no one as a tank here is asking for more damage! what were asking is that there needs to be a buff to con 250 and 300 perks that make us more tanky so that when brawler build run up on us they have to think about how to takes us down faster, that is all. im 100 percent sure cuss i am that heavy armor need a -20 percent damage and healing added to it. what tank are annoyed about is that you get more out of going 200 con and dumping the rest into damage becuase the 250 300 perks r useless and the dim return on the hp pass 200 is crazy. maybe make higher din returns from 200 to 300 con and then the 300 con like 20 percent more hp or something so you really need to put the effort in for being a tank.

also dont get me started on the gem thing

yeah so like i hate to be the guy to say it but i think it was just you not playing that right you can just aoe at his feet and stay away and you can melt him with ever getting close also it you run flurry on rap you can shard block with the passive. i been sharred by fire staff user and ice gloves that just aoe the ground and root/slow me so i can never get close even with the sword jump
