Couldn't find all that much updated info about skank tanks for pvp. Used to have a darkness sin with dps gear that I did well with. But that was years ago and I don't know if something changed.

Darkness has lost its Force Speed god mode and it doesn't have a set/tactical that gives it a significant damage boost.

Shield Tech is vulnerable to tank tunnels and internal/elemental damage, but it has some neat damage boosting sets and tactical.

Immortal tho is considered to be one of the best specs for PvP right now, it outshines the other 2 in its survivability and utility so much, that rarely you will see something else tanking in ranked.

So skanks are kind of there but Jugg is the only one being overperforming a bit.

Ah gotcha, thanks. Saw some people saying that but wasn't 100% sure if it was from a skank tank perspective or just pure tank with decent damage.

DPs Juggernaut skank tanking may be the best its ever been. It’s alive and well. Same for actual tank juggernaut but in dps gear. Both are broken.

 

DPS spec tanking with sin and PT is not really viable but possible in tight situations. And as stated by someone else, actual Sin and PT tanking is viable, but nearly as strong as Jugg Tank right now.

 

Keep in mind any DPS spec that guards someone, now has a -50% dmg output debuff. That may be news to you. Probably would be best if they just removed DPS being able to guard at all though IMO. :-/
