Thats funny. People have heard of Leeloof, sama, etc. that are r14 in Ha and the only ones close to maxing the Hero title. People have heard of the 3 players (brain fart atm) that are r7 champ, anyone who knows anything about PvP knows who the decent to excellent players are....

Funny your name is no where near that list....

as for Gladiators defense in PvP, it works In AB against all dervish, sin's and warriors, as for the build being useless against anything else, i have guildies take them out, and HA, TA, RA, HB i run a knight build cus they just ignore tanks and go for the monks, so ur post is invalid and retarded, i would like to 1vs1 you, and show you how noob u are!!

1v1? lolz, your epic! i would say you're retarded for saying 1v1 isn't invalid and retarded

It takes 30 seconds for you to score a kill?
What're you playing - 55hp monk?

could run a GB tank, could run a Knight chaser, could even run a toxic shocker tank, but why bother, if a melee wants to talk smack, ill just tank him out in 3 seconds for the fun of it, and say look who's noob now, like most frenzy warriors your all a little to defenses off 1 statement, SO GG

Ohhhh sorry, i only heard you flame the no.1 ias for pvp?
and wtf is a toxic shocker tank...?

Oh by the way, Tanks are meant for PvE only, thats why OB Tanks are used for 5 man FoW farms, or run a single tank build and Let the ele nuke on top of them....

No, they aren't they aren't even valid in PvE...oh...that is unless your bad.

Quote:

Knights are for PvP/Support tanking to deal up close damage, but why not get a assassin or dervish to do that!!

Support tanking...? too much of The Deep i see...

Quote:

simple put Tanks are handy, hell considering H/H AI isnt overly good, u flag them back grab aggro let ur heroe nuker come in and drop the enemies, with ur monk healing you, the only time a tank is useless in PvE is pop up groups!!!

H/H AI is much better than 99% of pugs. And a tank is useless in most PvE

Max PvP titles? What's that? NOBODY has maxed a PvP title yet.
PvX is there for a reason (yes there ARE SOME good builds on it, e.g shock axe/cripshot)
Empathy fails.

oh and PvP titles mean alot, u cant leech HA or RA or HB or TA

PvP titles mean nothing, and yes they are leechable...hense why there is a "leeching" thing to report in PvP. HB isn't leechable because you have got to do something anyway. RA/TA/HA is leechable.

Also - Mesmers are still the STRONGEST anti-*insert* build even with all nerfs.

Maaaaan that flaming felt good!

EDIT: i bet a mod will delete a few, but i don't blame the mod that does.

I think I have heard enough of it and I want to get down to the point of why people call them that.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tank_%28computer_gaming%29

"In gaming jargon, a tank is a player or unit designated to protect weaker players or units in combat by drawing enemy attacks and absorbing damage. Compared to other units, tanks have a high damage tolerance and specialize in melee combat."

Warriors in GWs used to be the best at this, but with all the new classes and Rep-Skills open to anyone now.. it's not really the same game anymore. The one advantage Warriors have over all other classes when tanking is.. their high armor level isn't something they have to use skills or abilities to maintain. It's there, and it was almost completely un-strippable. But now with cracked armor combined with other armor reducing abilities, even that is debatable.

This severe blow to the warrior class, combined with the more effective dmg doing melee oriented classes, has left the warriors in shambles. We are a solid class, but certainly NOT the best in anything any longer. All our strengths have been made better and more effective by other classes.

Assassins can spike better then us now. This used to be OUR thing.
Dervish can tank better then us now, both physical and degenerative sources. This used to be OUR thing too.

But those two classes can't do them both at the same time as effectively as the Warrior can. That's.. pretty much.. all we got now. A solid spike, and reliable dmg reduction.

Amen, good warriors have better dmg then sins...spike dmg isnt everything...sustained dmg can be better

My Reverse Thumper build dishes out scary damage (30-60 against stuff in HM, I've seen 100+ in NM) plus a pet giving out dazed... I've seen warriors in AB take down a monk in about 5 seconds... I met a W/P who pretty much served as a prot monk...

It's the WoW mentality. Stupid "If You Wear Heavy Looking Armor You Must Be A Tank" mentality.

What is your Reverse Thumper?

Crom The Pale · Jan 17, 2008, 11:22 PM // 23:22

Thumper is Ranger/war with hammer, so reverse is War/ranger with hammer and pet. Basically the exact same build but you deal more damage per hit with less energy to spam the attacks.

P.S. Gotta love when somebody like Gloria posts in a thread so I can just about post anything, well maybe not my meteor shower war RA build, but almost anything and get away with my skin unseared

It's done on a warrior with 12 Hammer Mastery, 12 Beast Mastery, and the rest in Strength.

There needs to be a thread that archives all the spectacular failures that have occurred over the years. It sucks having to constantly look around for that one golden moron who thinks he is top because he can 1v1 people in Alliance Battles. Put em all in one thread so we can find em easier

/Agree
Btw why has this turned from a "Why do people refer to Warriors as 'Tanks'??" thread to a kitty kat picture thread?
