That's the reason why tanks serve little to no purpose in PvE as well, since even AI targets squishies first.

Except of course, when EVERY player in the team is a tank. Which is why Shadow Form and its speed clears are so terribly broken.

Its an ultimate tanking skill in a game that isn't supposed to have any tanks by design.

Shadow Form is not just the tank, it's the spank too. I don't agree with GW not having tanks by design, it's not like this suddenly just happened. Bond tanking in PvE has been going on forever. It's dartboard buffing and OP skill combos that really added fuel to the fire. DoA in particular brought this style of play into the mainstream with the current DoASC just being the logical next step as the tools continue to get more overpowered.

Gimmick = term only used in guildwars = usually anytime a caster kills a physical = automatic petition to nerf caster = until one build is used to rule them all = meta

Gone are the days of worrying about rolling the dice on which build to run or defend against, and never knowing what you could be facing. The ironic part of it is that it was a hell of lot more interesting to watch before the campaign started to input an actual meta into the game.

If none of you understand that Guild Wars is fundamentally balanced around warriors, and consequently, adrenaline, you will not understand balance, how it works, and why it's necessary.

Jus' sayin'

Yeah, last time I checked the word 'gimmick' was actually in the dictionary, and not an exclusive term XD
