Don't take this wrong, but there's no AT that's absolutely required for this game and while a tank can be useful, so can a lot of other ATs. There are plenty of groups where a tank is just a superfluous addition - there's enough buffs/debuffs that a tank isn't really needed that much except as a damage dealer or for spot aggro management. |

You have people who choose to play support toons, who think that their support powers are not important. They take all their attacks, and only their first power they have to get from their secondary. So I taunt, then die... Then you have the DPS who go ahead of me or to another group, then realise they are taking a lot of damage, so they run to me, and I get Agro capped then people start dying. Which then, I feel like a bad tank. I chose to make a tank, becuase on my blaster I noticed I would get into a group, and there wouldn't be a tank. Then group would wipe, wipe, and wipe more. I do like playing a tank, seriously I do, but when the group isn't meeting me in the middle it fustrates me. So, I am just looking for a SG that wants a tank that knows what he's doing, and meet me in the middle by doing your job also. I am sorry if I am comming of self rightous, but I just remember the days when Tanks were seeked after and the group did their job and let the tank do his/her job. |
So if you're looking for a group that will just sit there while you take the alpha, expecting the other players to just sit back, I think you'll find that a lot of veterans have evolved past the tank and spank model of play quite some time ago.
Now if you're looking for experienced players period that's a different issue altogether and I'd recommend that you look into some of the server's global channels.
Send a tell to @Darkmire, sometimes, I like to hang out in back & fall asleep.
I normally run point though 98% time, no matter what toon I am on, but my group of misfits know what we are doing, we've been doing it for quite some time.
Welcome to come hang out with us, see if we fit your play style & vice versa. Best times to catch me are 5pm Pac-7/7:30pm Pac(8-10/10:30 east), Mon-Thu, Fri-Sun: Random times, my crew bout same as far as scheduling goes

I delete more 50s, then you'll ever have.
