the need for 3rd tank class

[jlewiss]

As it has been said 1000x over evasion tanks are always going to be broken. Either
A) their eva is so high they never get hit and its op or
B) their eva is reasonable but if they get hit they die in 1 or 2 hits
Healing them wouldbe near impossible for this reason. They also can't have great def and eva because again then they would be op. They also can't have a tank running with the same dps output as a dps because then why bother having a dps when you could have 3 dpstanks and 1 healer because no one would ever die. All they can really do is add a tank with more dps utility which imho warrior already does this. Or add a tank with some healing capabilities. At this point I think any future tanks that get added are going to basically just be a reskinned version of the tanks we already have with slightly different skills.

Hmm... Riftstalker is a pretty viable tank... Warriors in TERA were/are also perfectly viable without being OP.

I'm all for more variety in tank and healer options. MMOs like to give us a million different ways to dps, but if we want to tank or heal, we only get a few, narrow flavor choices.

The difference is in game design, warriors in Tera were only as good at their skill to use them, there was no passive evasion there, you will dodge attack only if you use the skill in the right time. There is no way a tank like that would work in here with this lag and EU server sitting across Atlantic Ocean from EU.

Yet nobody really wanted warriors as an tank in there due their way of tanking and in the end they gave blocking for warriors(parry)while also making them one of the best DPS class TERA currently has(iirc warriors are nowdays counted as DPS class more than tank, atleast by community).
