Tanks in PvP are useless

Hi all,

it seems that all classes can be found in PvE/PvP except for tank. If he is not using VG with sword&shiled he is almost useless.

I would like to suggest that his defence stance should soak up the damage done to the players within, so that he is really “tanking” and his role is obvious.

I guess details does not matter now, this is a rough idea which can be adjusted and played with.

so why my friend can tank 10+ players in pvp with S&S ? :slight_smile:

Sorry, but players like You are just useless.

When I read post like that I am losing my faith into humanity. JFC.

Just please leave the game, and stop leaving posts like that.

There is literally no place to discuss with You and explain anything, because of what You said, newbie.

How? In normal match everybody will either ignore tanks and go backline.
Tank should TANK. Its bs to make player “aggro” him, but soaking damage in some area around him? That sounds interesting for everyone that I spoke.

Imagine being able to push… the strategies behind… new meta… anyway, its idea, nothing else :wink:
I’m not saying tank is not for PvP, it has some role, but not like others…

Why are you toxic? Me, others, want to make this game better, why wouldn’t we express ourselves or have a normal conversation about some ideas? You know that this is “Game Feedback” section, right? So how about feedback instead of your bs? :slight_smile:

Yea ? Then read your first post and answer yourself a question if it is properly feedback, and is it opening any way to discuss about? Cause I dont think so.

You are like “meh, tank is bad, cause it is bad”, and also “I wont propose what and how to change, but expect something to be done”…

First start normal discussion, then expect a feedback. For now this is a joke.

tanks shouldn’t be a thing in PvP

im doing fine as a “tank” with warhammer and rapier - its a good initiate combo to get inside enemyline and bait their shit (stun) with reposte + shockwave into a clearout (hit them towards ur squad) - it also adds a lot of survivability. in OPR they completely ignore me, cus i swap to s&s+rapier and kite. Yeah kite, thats my job inside enemy outpost. sometimes between 3-10 people is what im stalling

mega noob posters tanks have huge key roles in gettin the weak people on the ob jectives to capture them or to move up tanks ROCK

Sword and board are usually the first in the fort doorway taking attention while some people ether flank or wait for something else to happen.

as a ranged DPS i hate to say it but… i want sword and board to get the phalanx ability. (the blue square shield around some elite named bosses that block all incoming ranged attacks for a short period of time.

would make for better pushes and force ranged dps out onto the ramparts or outside flanking.

If you can not find a way how to discuss this, its your problem, not mine mate. So keep your teeth behind your toxic mouth and if you don’t like this, don’t respond.
Your mama taught you better :wink:
Thanks.

Yes, phalanx option is precisely what Im suggesting, or sort of… this of course can be discussed on how the ability should work :slight_smile:

If you dont think tanks have a use in pvp, you dont play in many wars.

Without a couple thicc sword and board guys you are not going to take a point without a lot of effort.

Even with healers, bruisers arent hard enough once they stop moving to soak damage, and ranged people dancing about the backline and jumpspamming arent standing points because theyre made of paper.

Yes tanks arent very good for OPR and open world pvp due to minimal chase/gap closing ability, but those arent the only pvp things in the game. They’re actually the two worst pvp experiences available due to design issues.

First of all, keep my mother out of it, kido.
Second of all, everyone who can think logic, can see that You did not bring any arguments, any proposio of solution, literally nothing, just hate to tanks.

So nope, this is not only my problem. The problem is that Your first post is just toxic shit about tank, not opening the discussion.

So stop calling me toxic, because You did not knew how to start the real discussion, kido.

From what I see in OPR; tanks perform 0 formations & most of the time don’t protect any supports & dps. Only time I see Tanks performing their duty is when capping a point. But even then much of the time It goes south.

In war: Tanks are a blessing
In Dungeon: Tanks are loved
In OPR: Tanks devolve into a pack of K/D ratio.

Buddy in PvP I’d chalk up tanks in formation scarier than tanks flailing their hp pools at the enemy.

You need tanks to win wars, so i don’t know…

Total useless im end to play tank

I like the way SWoTR did it. When the tank taunted a player if that player hit anyone but the tank the player took damage to himself.

my god how clueless can you be. Literally the strongest class by far in pvp.
