A Tankless Job

[Jonny_Tapas]

Just saw a lion mount running by for the first time and when I looked into it I found that:

A tankless job was put in place to help create an influx of tanks since we lack them for instance queuing.

I find that I spend most of my time tanking so I take a look at the achievement and I have 10/50 as a Paladin and 0/50 as a Warrior! HUH?

So this is limited to Primal EX and Coil. Can someone please explain to me why if we need an influx of tanks across the board, why is this achievement limited to so little of the games content? No wonder there was 0 influx in tanks and the queues are still long as hell. This makes absolutely no sense.

Makes as much sense as the introduction of another DPS Class. Like we really need another one in the the queues.

I thought that the Achievement was linked to doing Low Level and High Level Duty Roulette as a Tank?

[Pots_Talos]

Everyone I know who has gotten the mount just runs T4 over and over and over.

A friend of mine got hers just by tanking t4 ad nauseam and also extremes. I am pretty sure she doesn't que for any of that stuff anymore heh heh.

SE needs to seriously learn that adding rewards won't entice people to play a class, making a class that's fun to play in the first place will make people play it. But as it stands being a tank is the shit job in almost all content, is the most stressful, and when you mess up something it's the most obvious and you tend to get the most ridicule because of it. I've been leaning more and more away from tanking because of just how frustrating I find it in this game compared to most other MMO's I've played. It's just really not that fun, nor worth the stress I tend to go through.

You’re right Kaonis! A fun class will have more people playing that. Square Enix may need help to tanking fun. They can ask Dc Universe for advice,tips, innovation and creativity! It wouldn’t be bad if they admit they need help and asked for it. Cause if the trend continues of people stop tanking, there will be little to no tanks at all! Meaning no one can run dungeons. Tanking is a important job just like everything else. Square Enix if you are reading this and you don’t know want to about the tanking problem?…. Ask someone! People from Dc, Guild wars,etc..

[Alatarian]

I think they are slowly getting it but not much. I say this because I did all the new dungeons yesterday and one of them actually had a tanking-is-optional fight! I said "yay" because usually the drone of mindlessly pulling trash and or just standing about watching stuff spank you does get old quick. Other content of course has you jumping through hoops but by and large they get old fast too.

Like most tanks I have stopped doing it unless I need a fast que for some tomes. This was a trend that started back when I played on JP servers as well. Not sure what SE can do to make it better and not break their "intended" play design.

Dc Universe doesn’t have this problem. That’d why i say ask them. They know how to do it right. I don’t tank. Healer has been the thing i wanted to do..

That's very far from the true... Tanks are not shitty jobs, tanks are the most challenging job in this game (and fun once you play it well) and that's why many ppl is so afraid of trying it.
