    3. Flash gives off blind, most twinks forego accuracy in trade of more DPS stats, so their accuracy is already borederline piss-poor.
    4. Cover forces physical DPS to target you. You can bulwark this to throw shield swipe at them back to further stop their DPS.

    There, four points to why a tank is usefull. Get at me.

    1) No one focuses you so not really a point.

    2) "either give DPS a hard time doing their job or expose your healers to DPS through bind/stunlock/full swing"
    This doesn't make grammatical sense.

    3) Accuracy isn't needed in PVP. Because its already capped.
    Stacking a stat that is needed in a very situational circumstance isn't very useful.

    4) yay cover.

    Go MRD or GTFO,
    You have been gotten at.

    Accuracy and chance to miss are 2 very different things.

    That's probably not gonna spell it out for Logo considering they'd post like that.

    To properly spell it out: Blind or various buffs (attunement, featherfoot etc) give a chance to miss in pvp that overrides the statement about accuracy not being a factor.

    What your talking about would fall under "situational".
    Thanks for trying though.

    You're welcome. You're also wrong. You might want to look up what situational means.
