Same. Will they update this thread when they fix it?

Any build changes for 1.3?

Here is their Twitter feed.: We should probably ALL ask them why they are illegally claiming copyrights.

Using it defensively and sitting in it is basically doing it wrong. You need to be dropping it where the opponent will be or moving it and blocking access to key areas. For example at mid in Civil War if it is on the stairs no stealth is coming up there. In Novare Coast you need to be dropping it on bunkers so no one can stealth cap. Use your head about where and when you drop it.

Here is a video of a Powertech Tank completing it with Mako.

You gonna link your spec or just keep it secret?

Yeah, I have a Guardian that I tank with in PvP. I wanted a different class for my Empire character. I'm starting to regret it. I really WANT there to be a viable AP spec that can run Ion Gas Cylinder but IGC has really terrible synergy outside of the shield tech tree.

So, is there not one or am I missing something really obvious?

1. How do you think your Powertech spec is perceived by other classes? 2. How do you perceive your own spec? 1. Solid Tank in PvE. Weakest tank in PvP 2. I really enjoy PvE tanking with Powertech. I'd like to see an AoE snare and/or AoE mezz in the shield tech tree for PvP. It is a big loss to PvP utility compared to the other tanks. An addition to the flame surge talent could be a good place for it. I PvP tanked a lot as a Guardian and I really miss the ability to effectively hybrid spec for PvP tanking. I think the tanking cylinder probably needs a buff to make PvP tanking more effective or some of the talents in the Shield tech tree need to be cheaper so that you can pick up more PvP AND PvE talents in that tree.

Is there any viable hybrid that doesn't use CGC? I am looking for something like a vig/def Guardian Build that allowed me to Guard PuG healers and still do enough DPS to actually peel. Most of the 1.3 Hybrids I see use Combustible gas and don't run a shield generator. So is there no good tank Hybrid?

I'm coming from a 50 Guardian so some of the lower level mechanics are very frustrating to me. What do you guys do to get initial aggro in FPs? I feel silly just walking into packs and flame sweeping but I don't know what else to do.

I swear I've heard Mercs giggle occasionally.

Cool changes for PvE. Horrible changes for PvP. Guardians were already the lowest DPS tank in PvP.

I actually love Guardian and wouldn't want anything else to be my main but you can't say it is straightforward compared to other DPS classes unless you haven't played them. Seriously, Trace Missile?
