swtor has a ranged tank in the bounty hunter/trooper and actually works damn well. A ranged tank in this game isn't that far off base imho

It isnt even really a ranged tank to be honest, its just a tank with ranged abilities....reality is, you're still standing next to the boss in the end
Ah yes, "Ranged tank". I played one of these "ranged tanks" it's a bit of a misnomer as all your good skills (i.e. important tanking ones) are only usable within melee range, and on top of that most enemies meleed you anyways so you were always getting beat on. That game really abused the word ranged when describing it's tanks.



Well, you did have mobs that were inherently ranged, and because of SWTOR's setting guys and droids with blasters were more common compared to ranged mobs in other settings. I was a jedi guardian, and it felt odd having guys shooting at me from point blank range after I Force Leap'ed at them.Ah yes, "Ranged tank".

* The sad thing is that FFXIV turned RDM into a turret, and people think that's what it's supposed to be. It's supposed to combine sword and magic into something more, not spend the bulk of gameplay spamming spells and jump into melee for only 3 GCDs before scurrying back to the back line like good little casters.
