ixiss Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 so I posted this over in general discussion, but it immediately got buried because people were complaining they didn't get in today (boohoo, amiright?) what I wanted to know is, what are the viable tank classes? I know about the Sith warrior juggernaut, but wanted to know what other classes are supposed to make comparable tanks. While I might only be interested in dark side (as that is the side my guild is choosing) it might be a good idea to list them all on here as others might be interested too. ideas?

split_light Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 The following classes have tank specs: Jedi Knight: GuardianJedi Consular: Shadow Trooper: VanguardSith Warrior: JuggernautSith Inquisitor: AssassinBounty Hunter: Powertech I'm hoping I got those all correct. The Shadow and Assassin are Cloth classes, but they can still tank as well as the others, they just start a little slower in my opinion. They just rely more on powers to do it, rather then raw armor. All the others wear heavy armor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the others wear heavy armor. You are correct. And the Assassin/Shadow do get a 300% armor bonus to make up for the light armor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

split_light Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 My wife got a Shadow, which is equivalent, up to mid twenties and was able to tank all Flashpoints she tried. They seem very viable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
