Tanks and PvP

[Mihael_Longclaw]

Guys what do you think about Shield Swipe? Pacification for 6 seconds..For example if I am fighting a WARRIOR i have a successful block I use Shield Swipe it would hurt the Warrior alot. What do you guys think?

Awesome sig xD

Depending on how they implement the "capture the flag" game Yoshida mentioned, you'd already have a guaranteed spot for a PLD or WAR as tanks tend to make the best flag carriers (keeping in mind that PLD can break roots and snares while WAR has an HP advantage).

Tank classes are some of the best in PvP.

Aye.

In a nutshell, objective based game modes are great for tanks. Things that are just a pure death match/killfest probably less so without some extreme loving from the devs (which would probably in turn cause issues with objective modes) as they generally lack the burst to help kill someone while an opposing healer is CC'd or otherwise occupied (their durability only matters if they're getting hit while the lower damage output always matters).

Warrior stance dancing could prove interesting, depending on how it all plays out. Guess we'll find out in less than 2 weeks.
