Viability of Lancer as a Tank?

[Krausus]

LNC is a great tank even on NM's with all the right skills, I do agree I'd rather have a 50 GLD or PUG who are equally as loaded up with skills and traits but to say LNC is a paper tank is incorrect. You wear the exact same gear as the GLD. One of the hidden benefits of tanking on LNC is that you can also participate in meaningful BR's by using invigorate. So far tanking everything on my LNC is cake with the exception of greater buff which requires some healers who know what there doing still viable as a small man group of 5-6 without too much struggle.

Defense isn't the issue its health, lancers are not meant to tank, can we get away with it? sure, but so can every class even DoW.

We are a melee DD and support class.


Just saying if you want to be a tank roll something else the rest of your group will thank you for it because if lancer is focusing on tanking they they are not focusing on what they are meant to do so you are gimping your party x2
