Default Asassins can tank

After reading all the comments about the assasins lack of tanking, i had to try this out. nothing is edited

EDIT: dicided to show the skill bar, it was way harder then to just use GD

...Try tanking as... a tank. Uhhh..... ok? Since I can use warrior runes and have much higher armor, I'm pretty sure I'd be better at tanking than an assassin. o.o;

I hope that wasn't meant as a sarcastic remark, if it was then you should realize that a warr is designed to be a ::gasp:: tank. It's the reason why they have such high armor and a large variety of defensive skills. Your statement to me is like asking a monk to use only monk skills to heal, but ::gasp again:: we can! >.>

Oh and by the way assassins aren't designed to tank that's why everyone says they're not suppose to. >.>

Assassins don't tank silly.
Didn't you get the memo and starter kit containing a bow, staff, and scepter?

it won't be impossible, realy, it won't. And as for proving assassins can tank, what's the bloody point ? They're ment for hit n run, not to stand around and take the beating ...

my bloody point was to have some f**king fun, i wasnt proving anything, it was never to prove anything just to have some fun. I know there not supposed to stand around and take a beating, i know that assasins arn't tanks, leave that alone ffs.

Have any of you thought to think WHY its called an assassin. It's because its not meant to be seen, its meant to kill and be secretive xD
