Ranged Tank

[Mirron]

I think trying to theorize how a ranged tank would work would be interesting, but it'd be difficult to make work out. Best I can think of would be some sort of barrier specialist or the like.

That's right? How IS it going to work? Let's break down the keyword here, Range and Tank. Range means, well, range and not melee. Tank mean you soak up damage for other people. So how is it going to work? Not all enemy you encounter are range enemy, which mean they will have to close in to you anyway, rendering the range part pointless. Also kiting is not tanking by any means.

Mage Tank I can understand. Range tank, not so much.
