  1. ^this Bottom line, tanks aren't looking for big numbers, we're looking to be attention hogs! We want to pull every mob possible right up to our face, kick 'em in the nuts (provided they have any), and get them enraged enough that they only see the tank(s) and no one else. If your healers are on their game, they'll keep your *** alive, if not, just think of that as an extra challenge.
  2. I'm in! 55 Vanguard (tankalicious) - "Rawkfist"
  3. My main role is a tank, but I am slowing going back to my Operative (full healer) just to break away form the tanking scene for a bit, and I am curious...on CCing for Ops, would be advisable, if you need to emergency CC an annoying mob, to slip into stealth via "cloaking screen" and use sleep dart? Is that even possible?
  4. This is very true, but, OTOH, we as tanks need to be responsible for our own *supplemental* survival skills in the form of defensive CDs, stims, adrens, etc. I have no problem trusting my team, but at the same time, I want to be able to ease the burden by maximizing my own defenses in a timely fashion. But again, one of the many challenges tanks have that can make the class quite fun... ...if you're a glutton for punishment
  5. Awesome I've been a long time tank in various MMOs, and the tanking community (especially here) is a very helpful group indeed because we know how tough it can be at times, especially when you are essentially deemed the "leader of the pack". But, as another tank pointed out, it's not as difficult as many ppl make it out to be. The first thing to note, as with any class, is to learn to play your class to the point where you are comfortable with rotations for various situations. Honestly, the rotations don't change much for tanks so once you have those down then you are gold Next, is learn the FPs/Ops basic boss fights, because this is probably the most difficult (IMO) when tanking, but there are a ton of resources for boss mechanics/strats. You may even come up with your own tried & true strategies! Otherwise, the rest is simply overall field experience. You read up on all the guides you want, but nothing beats being dropped in the fray and learning through blood, sweat & tears Overall, have fun as a tank because it really is a great role!
  6. Some good info here, esp for players new to Sin/Shadows mechanics. I actually just started tanking with my Sin after tanking with my Vanguard for the past year. Talk about opposite ends of tanking spectrum O.o
  7. My run-in with a WB happened on Voss...although you actually had to click on a node for him to appear. And me, being all curious, was like "oh look! A shiny object to click on!....oh sh-..." DEAD
  8. Pfft, you're too far North to know what churros are... In any case, as you can see folks, we do like to joke quite a bit here at Mosaic/Dark Mosaic, and it's all fun and games until someone loses an eye. Of course we point and laugh at that person first, and then immediately help them find a new eye! Hey, we are a compassionate bunch! If you are looking for a guild who simply likes to have fun in a casual environment, please stop by our site and say hello, or ask away here!
  9. *gasp!* You are no long invited to "meet a Jedi" day down at the Sunken Sarlacc... ...we had Jawa Scout cookies.
  10. Happy 2013 TOR land! Mosaic (Repub) & Dark Mosaic (Emps) is growing and we would love to have those of you who are looking for a home, stop by our guild site and see for yourselves. We are a casual, friendly, and helpful bunch of folks from all over so give us a look-see
  11. Happy New Year folks! Mosaic (Republic) and Dark Mosaic (Empire) are currently recruiting for all roles! With a new year, comes new events and grouping for various levels of players. Are you new to the game? We're here to help! Are you a founder, jumping back into TOR after some time off? Join us and assist those who need guidance! We are a guild of no-nonsense Star Wars & gaming fans who enjoy the immersion that SWTOR provides and hope to share the enjoyment with others as the game continues on (hopefully) over the many years. We believe in quality over quantity, and strive for a gaming community that seeks to preserve the enjoyment of the Star Wars universe and mmo environment in general. Stop by Mosaic and let us know you exist! ~ Ink
  12. I was definitely wondering the same thing about my Med Op, so thanks for the insight. I'm also at 22 currently and it just seemed that, under duress, the heals were not as sufficient as their counterparts at this level.
  13. ^This. They are cosmetic additives, unless there is a bug causing it O_o
  14. Sad thing is (or maybe not so sad...), I rolled a healer because of the fact that, since f2p, there has been a huge lack of them. While I'm leveling (currently lvl 31 Sage), I just broadcast "healer lfg for [insert quest here]" and typically the pure DPS classes come-a-runnin'. DPSers have then place, but they don't always make a healers job any easier when they are not geared like a tank and can mitigate damage.
  15. Hey guys. I'm pretty much commenting as someone outside looking in. My toons are currently on Jedi Covenant, which is one of the highest population servers, and trust me, high population does not mean quality population. Since F2P, I feel gen chat is even turning into frakkin Barren's chat from WoW long ago >.> If anything, those of you who love Jung Ma should love it for the mere reason that its not full of bratty noobs who QQ about everything and need to get their rocks off on Gen chat by putting down everyone. /endrant That being said, I think you guys have an awesome community and if that's not what an MMO should be like than idk wth should be!
