i would like to place my experience in. I came back several weeks ago on my jugg, i found i was far surpassed in gear (tionese and Columi). after raiding ops nearly every day with my guild farming HM's for Rakata drops and BH comms i am now a full campaign with a Dread Guard (63 hilt) saber all gear fully augmented and only a few off pieces rakata (belt/implants/earpiece soon replaced). My threat generation is poor to say the least. For example a certain Mar in my HM Ops runs 1500/1600 dps and on my jugg my taunt stays on CD and most times it still doesnt help.
Now i also have a tank spec Assassin (my alt), currently 3/5 Columi with 2x Campaign armor in those the 2 other pieces are rakata. 2x rakata Implant 1x tionese earpiece rakata belt rakata offhand TIONESE SABER...YES TIONESE SABER and only 3 peices are augmented on her currently. earlier in TfB SM taking a guild healer in for easy gear drops and mats this same Mar was running once again 1500/1600 dps...in which I NEVER ONCE TAUNTED OFF HIM to hold threat. in fact i wasnt even trying to retain threat...it was a non factor. the worlds difference in gear on my jugg VS assassin...i should not be able to hold threat on a Camp/DG geared Mara on a very undergeared assassin when my geared tank cant even think to generate the amount of threat my assassin can.
Frabkly i was shocked at how terribly easy it was to hold threat. Case in point Jugg tanks are awesome but truly are struggling on the threat end and this needs to be addressed......agree or not its simply the truth
