PvP Tanks

[Generaleonvii]

PvP Tanks Rreally need an ability that takes hate from another player because right now we have equipment that increases vitality but it is currently useless because everyone saves the tank till last. Combo'd attacks such as rage of halone/savage blade do not recieve a benefit because threat is useless in PvP, and therefore other classes utilize their fullest potential. This is especially bad in a paladins case in PvP since most of their abilities are defensive and the fact paladins have few abilities to close the gap between other players compared to any other class. Give Paladins a pvp charge ability and tanks overall the ability to utilize their full potential by utilizing a threat mechanic maybe similar to what the paladin in good king moggle mog does.

PvP tanks are called healers, sadly.

Paladin is actually fortunate in that almost all of its skill set (Cover, Hallowed Ground) has uses in the arena. Warrior is the unfortunate one where nothing beyond Inner Beast/Infuriate burst is worthwhile.

The changes I would like to see implemented are with Flash/Overpower and Provoke, or even a combo point system that stacks with each enmity-increasing rotation and can be dispensed with the former to force target on the tank for a limited time. This would give reason for tanks to stack VIT, sit in Defiance/Shield Oath and shift the meta from rushing down healers/priority DPS to having to deal with the enemy team's tank before they could engage the weaker targets.

Just something like Flash/Overpower and Provoke with diminishing returns on the targeting retention would do wonders in fixing our misappropriated role.

Tanks are stun-lock beasts who can, at worst, take on anyone 1v1 and at best take on 1v3.

If they give tanks a stun-lock nerf then sure introduce forced swapping when provoked. Otherwise, I say leave them alone.

If you're talking about Moggle EX, I don't think it's a good idea. The competition will become another fastest finger contest. People are already complaining about the sleep by BLM/WHM. If we add another "who casts confuse on PLD first, wins the game", I have a feeling a lot of people will hate PVP even more.

did this guy really type tanks need an ability to get hate on players LMAO................

I wished they give tanks the ability to taunt ppl into attacking them but the trade off is that the tank will be immobilized . Like when you get brainjacked, hypnotized by siren.
Put in on a long cool down like other skills and make it so that it upgrades into longer taunt duration, less damaged recieved when hit by others during taunt's activation, longer taunt range?

You can't spell tank without the ank in spank!

It isn't unheard of to have "taunt" abilities to force someone to only target you. And it's a completely reasonable request, given the current "ignore the tank 'til everything else is dead" strategy. Ellipses.

Edit: "compeltly"? Did you throw that picture together yourself?

Edit 2: Just got the joke.

Your picture is still dumb.
