You don't say. I'm stunned. I have to lie down.
I rarely heal myself, am using lower quality armor, and have no dps talents. My companion rarely holds threat on anything. I.E., I am tanking most mobs. I am killing mobs far, far faster than I was on my warrior at the same level.

I know you're trying to be cute, but you'll have to try a little harder.

First off for the elitist, don't slander peeps having problems give them real suggestions. I have OK gear and single mobs i can do fine on. Bio was so worried about making us over powered we are a little gimped compared to other tanks, worse if your running with pugs.

It's well known by now that our class is more challenging and takes a higher skill cap to play. There is much footage of juggs tanking end game content and having no issues; Hard modes in all. So if it can be done, why not just do? Because it's more difficult then another class? People need to stop complaining and asking for easy mode and just rise to the task. Seeing / knowing it can be done should be enough.
It's not dificult because of deep mechanics. it's difficult because of flaws. We lack tools of other classes. We lack AoE threat in exchange for a needlessly high single target threat. we have less survivability as a dps that classes without tanking skills. Typically classes with high skill cap have more tools. Instead the classes that need to spam only 1 or 2 buttons get all the tools. Juggs get more buttons to press and less tools.

Actually, classes with high skill cap have less tools to work with which requires more skill because of the lack of tools at their disposal.. But I understand what you guys are complaining about. The thing that bothers me is the fact people are crying like Jugg is just unusable and completely broken. It's just harder. I understand that juggs have less utiliity. But my entire point is that they are being used in hard modes having no problems holding single target / multiple mob aggro having no problems what so ever so they ARE viable. Just harder.

Canoftuna could not have said it any better:

"Tanking on a Juggernaut is like trying to dig a 3 foot hole in the mud with your hands. Sure you can do it, but it's messy, it'll take you longer and requires more effort. Or you can go get yourself a nice shovel (Bounty Hunter) and get it dug faster and more efficiently."

I should make that my sig.

I would like you to see a Jugg jump into a group of hards and elites, on hard mode, and hold agro on them all. Record it and make sure you show your gear and post it. because i don't believe it.

No one is saying we arent viable just that why should we be gimped, it makes no sense. Why would you make a class that the only encouragement to play is "Well it doesnt have all the benefits the other tank classes have so its harder".

Yes there are plenty of vids and people are doing it but "you can drive a car with your feet if u wanted to, that dont make it a good idea" -CR

You have a wierd definition of high skill cap. Perfect example of a high skill cap is Ezreal in League of legends. Has lots and lots of tools but is utterly useless in the hands of a poor player, but magnificent and nearly unstoppable in the hands of a skilled player. Every high skill cap class I have played has had more tools than a faceroll class.

Essentially a a class that is hard to play but lacks the tools of the easier to play class will be beaten by the easier to play class if both players skills are equal. That is imbalance. It's never been an issue of the jugg not being able to do content. It's about the fact that the jugg is worse (even by a small margin) that pretty much every class that does it's roles (I do think assassins need a boost as well). Hard to play with no payoff.

The more tools you have the easier it is to succeed. Ex: WoW's frost mage: Most tools / utility. Very easy to play. It doesn't require a high skill cap because because of all tools / utility at its disposal. WoW Warrior: Least amount of tools, not alot of utility thus its harder to succeed. How can the class with more tools require a higher skill cap? It's easier because of all the tools at its disposal. Less tools = harder to play = higher skill cap to become successful at the class.

Lol unkiteable? there is a perk you can get in vengance tree (idk where or if its deep) that makes u IMMUNE to cc after force charge AND reduces all dmg done by __%. Not to mention chilling scream or w/e its called that does a 50% slow and other forms off CC. Idk how much BH/Trooper need a pull i havent played them enough to know, but Sith warriors are fin with out it.

My entire and ONLY point is that it's not as bad as people are making it seem as if the class is so broken it can't be useful at all. That's my only point. As far encouragement, it depends on the player. I rolled a BH 1st and it was face roll easy imo. Very fun, but easy. I rerolled a sith jugg even with all the talk about how broke they are. As far as your analogy, it's not a bad idea to roll a sith jugg at all. A better and more accurate analogy would be: You can drive a car on cruise control ( Bounty Hunter) on a clear road or you could drive a car manually in traffic. (Sith Jugg) Good drivers won't crash. Neither is a bad idea. But again, to my point, Jugg is viable and not as bad as everyone makes it seems. They could use some tweaking, but they can still get the job done if played right.
