Blah blah unoriginal SF nerf impending reason. Point: Which class will be next to feed our need for tank and spank?

Imo, D/E SFaura,VoS, and random damage reducing enchants. For areas with a MT like DoA.. FoW etc.

Or back to ye olde terra.

Or whatever newshit the update brings

D/E SF aura? Searing Flames or Staggering Force? O.o

Maybe people will use warriors and actually hit stuff with their weapons.

impulsion · Jan 07, 2010, 09:01 AM // 09:01

Obsidian flesh.

well i won't say anything about the "Perma Paragon" oh wait...oops.

Tenebrae · Jan 07, 2010, 12:07 PM // 12:07

Agree , OF is the best option , with consumables is even better.

Kerwyn Nasilan · Jan 07, 2010, 12:38 PM // 12:38

Or the community could man up and stop using tanks....but that's just silly...

sthpaw · Jan 07, 2010, 12:50 PM // 12:50

lets hope theres not another good tank build like that again.
and plz nerf OF as well.
wasnt the main concern to SF for Anet to eliminate speed clears.

Warvic · Jan 07, 2010, 01:42 PM // 13:42

Dervish, Elementalist or Warriors with a buff to tactics?

Lusciious · Jan 07, 2010, 01:46 PM // 13:46

I don't see a problem with a paragon or 2 spamming SY for tank like capabilities for everyone in the party o.o

Deatgs Corrupter · Jan 07, 2010, 02:04 PM // 14:04

guys ur all thinking of current builds i personally want the warrior to become the tank it once was and as anet are apparently re thinking tactics hope fully that will be how it is

Oh you comedian you. Getting people to break their bad habits and learn something new and better? You oughta know better.

Cuilan · Jan 07, 2010, 04:57 PM // 16:57

Ritualist or anyone who is capable of doing damage with decent prot from another player.

MisterB · Jan 07, 2010, 05:09 PM // 17:09

I nominate Inspiration Mesmer as the least likely candidate. In b4 "reverse terra Me/E."

Life Bringing · Jan 07, 2010, 05:29 PM // 17:29

In some places people will use stance tanks again. Other than that, OF warriors or Eles will return. Either way, bonders will return as well

Steps_Descending · Jan 07, 2010, 08:18 PM // 20:18

My guess :

Obsi if ANet doesn't hit it.

SpiritWay-like tankless team (does that really count as tank? Kerwyn turns in his grave!)

TacticWarrior stacking tankless team, depending on how ANet decides to buff it : Balanced level or PvE level...

I wouldn't be too surprised to see 600/55 tanks coming up here and there, but tha tmight be just wishfull thinking.

_Nihilist_ · Jan 07, 2010, 09:03 PM // 21:03

Why would ANet hit Obsidian Flesh? It doesn't prevent you from being hit by attacks, only targeted spells - it's not like it's a one-shot skill that keeps you from taking damage and negates enemy spells. On top of that, you move 75% slower, so how exactly would OF Tanks be part of a "Speed" Clear (which is the point that most people fail to take into consideration)?

Sure, OF Tanks will make a comeback with the Tank 'n Spank crowd... but it won't be as imbalanced as the current Tanks.

Steps_Descending · Jan 07, 2010, 10:43 PM // 22:43

Would just be a possibility if they decided to hit SC in general or permanent spell immunity. They probablty won't touch it, but if I had stopped there, my post would have been 3 line shorter.

Daft Shifty · Jan 07, 2010, 11:46 PM // 23:46

SF aura=stoneflesh aura. e.g. VoS, Stoneflesh, (derv enchantments go here)
