They made Sorcs/Sages/assassins/shadow warriors TOO tankie

Um, Assassins and Shadows ARE tanks, they have a stance that increases their armor to medium/heavy levels and allows them to use shields.

AS for the ss it's obvious the sorc was hit and moved away .... here's something even you can do. Count the number of enemies (or nameplates) ... then count the number of yellow numbers. 5 bodies, 5 yellow numbers.

I went 1v1 with a geared shadow warrior, I have 9% expertise with my 15% potion popped and trinkets and defense blade ward popped. HE took me down faster I could even bring him down. I got him down to 70%. So dumb.

dude... you would be AMAZED at how many people there are running around COMPLETELY clueless to this.

a week ago - Running a flashpoint the "tank" Juggernaut tries to explain to me that my tank specc'd Assassin is not a tank class. Then proceeds to wip on the boss 3 times. I take over and down him first try.

2 days ago - got a group put together for the Foundry. Healer wants to know "where's the tank?" ... "me... im tank" ... "uh... no youre not... assassins are DPS..." ... "bro, trust me.. i got this..." ... the healer BAILS!! lol.

*NEWSFLASH PEOPLE*

Assassins make damn fine tanks. Probably more so than the other classes if specc'd right. We have skills that put our armor rating at HIGHER levels than a comparably equipped Juggernaut.

Umm as a tank class you have even more cc ... should we list and compare?

Also a lot of dps classes including yours have a personal shield on a longer cooldown. The difference is your shield reduces the damage you take.

This is what guardians have

Force stasis, 1 minute cooldown, 3 second channel, can be spec into to make it not channeled in the defense tree on the 5th tier of the defense tree. does really weak damage but builds us 3/4 focus

Force push, 1 minute cooldown(not really a "CC"), pushes "One" person but it doesn't push if they have 60% resolve bar

Awe, 1 minute cooldown, an 6 second blind but breaks on damage, can be specced in the dps tree to make it 45 seconds

Force leap "not really a CC" roots the person for 1 second, can be specced into to make it 3 seconds in the focus tree, can also be specced into the defense tree to stun for 2 seconds "WHICH raises up the resolve bar quite a bit which will make the other CC"s the guardian have useless if he does one more stun.

Mmm pretty much thats it.

Sorcs/sages

Aoe knock back with a long root specced into (short cooldown)

Single target stun

A talent that blinds everyone for 3 seconds called "Backlash" on the fourth tier of the lighting tree if you're bubble breaks"

A talent in the madness tree that allows you to do a instant whirlwind and if it breaks on damage, stuns the person for 2 seconds.

Maybe you are just bad then? Even DPS specs have defensive cooldowns (as does every class).

Stop trying to win toe to toe against someone with a defensive CD up, swap targets or kite them.

Stop wasting your long cooldown abilities on one with force shroud up, I see people do this all the time to me.

Assassins are not OP and in fact have a pretty high skill cap IMO. We have to use many abilities in a fight to be effective as well as watch for procs and conditionals.

This is a simple case of you not understanding the mechanics of the class you are fighting against.

So you are crying OP! Nerf! because you died in a PvP zone?

Sounds to me like you got out-played, but lack of skill wouldn't be the problem would it? Instead, the class must be OP!! RAWR! Nerf them!

Just another baddie...

Different classes are different.. more at 11.



P.S. Just because you add "not really a CC" after a CC ability you have doesn't mean it's not a CC.

P.P.S. I don't know why people complain about sorcs/sages I don't find them to be much of a problem at all. They are so easy to counter... LoS OP.

Different classes are more powerful then other classes.. more at 11.

LoS? lolol THIS makes me laugh right here.

Ok, The sorc has FULL opening on you at the second/third door on voidstar, no where to hide and if you "DO" hide, they sprint up to you, knock you away from the LoS piller and dps you some more, can't run either cause they can sprint up to you (Low cooldown) Civil war? What LoS? On the side nodes, they have full view to attack you if they are on the platform, and if you run, they can sprint up to you to finish you off. THE only places where someone can have lots of "LoS" to hide from sorc/sages is on Huttball o wait
