> There is only 1 tank class in the game and its not brawler, try reading a little bit online before you make stupid comments.
that comment made you look very ignorant, I suggest deleting it
I enjoyed it, the bosses went down fast. The healer seemed to not have to heal that much since half the group had blocking.
Though of course this was a lvl 30-40 dungeon, but I thought the whole thing was hilarious and again a great time.
There is a problem with the game which is notably present on the PC as well: the game does not specify at character creation that certain specs are role limited. This is important because most MMOs grant 2 or more roles per class whereas TERA has most classes locked to one role. You can't even queue in a dungeon as a different role.
Please read the entire post before quoting and replying.
That's the post i quoted and replied to.
I know that the brawlers can't queue for dps nor would i want them to be able to.
It was a case of 'what-if' the game used the same system as World of Warcraft aka multi roles for most classes. Again, read the post you reply to properly before you reply.
It may not tell players that the class is role restricted, but there's no law saying you're not allowed to use common sense and read the class description carefully, instead of clicking next/complete.
It specifically states that the Lancer and Brawler are tanks. It even lists their strengths where tanking is maxed on both.
As for Warriors and Berserkers, they are not viable tanks and lose aggro very fast if they try to tank, especially if there is an Archer in the group, but can replace a tank in a dungeon if NEED BE. Their primary tasks are DPS. Tanking is possible but it is not their intended role.
I know the game has been out for years. I was one of the first players who attended the closed beta as well as the headstart and have played it since on an on and off basis.
Today ... everybody ( in general) only want to be the top overkill and dosent care the result of the team ........ just like shooter where pepole only care to there Kill / Death ration instead of round win ...
in MMO if you want to clear the end game you have to play your role because the only thing matter is the dungeon clear .... not how much hard you punch ......
Berserkers are one thing but Warriors can tank just fine. It's simply a lot harder to properly tank on a Warrior and 95% of a tank's job is consistent positioning which Warriors are not good at accomplishing. Brawlers simply do too much DPS to bother with a Warrior and Lancers are the most stable tanks with buffs and debuffs aplenty.
I've been in groups with warriors acting as the tank but they fail hard at tanking for the most part, even with a full aggro glyph/crystal setup.
1: They are evasion tanks, and they can't block incoming damage.
2: They do have a debuff but it's nothing big.
3: They can't hold aggro against an equal geared archer/sorc, valk etc even if they are using a full aggro glyph/crystal setup.
In most dungeons, it's important to keep the boss facing in one direction to let the dps attack the boss from behind, but since the warrior have to dodge all over the place, it makes it that much harder for the DPS to do their job.
Lancer and Brawler are the best tanks because they can both block and stay in one location.
I do know that the warrior and berserker CAN tank, but they are just not viable, especially when it comes to end game content.
I agree that most people aren't aware that the classes are role specific, and that is something that they should've added to the class descriptions a long time ago where it states "This class is a tank, and can only fulfill this role when doing dungeons. Only select this class if you want to act as the Tank" and so on.
They reverted Torment to be an END debuff instead of an ATK SPD buff in the console version so it's a fairly good debuff. I'm not sure if they have their enrage ability or not.
A proper Warrior rotation with Scythe does a lot of damage. Especially since blocking grants a use of BD. Again, I don't know if they removed blocking or not; if they did then Warrior aggro would suffer as well.
Not sure if there's a solution to that.
I short, I want to queue for dungeons as warrior and N E V E R get the tank role.
Just say yes
That message means "We can't find a tank OR DPS for this run, do you want to continue matching without looking for a tank or dps?"
It literally means if you hit yes, you'll have a higher chance to get a non-standard party comp, ending up in either 4 dps and a healer, or 4 tanks and a healer...or a mix of both
This game came out 2 freaking days ago! Anyways, how about, idk, maybe making friends as it goes or joining a guild or playing with friends you already have. Stop complaining.
The official game release was on the 3rd of April. Yeah you had founders packs early access and twitch early access, but everyone didnt purchase those founders packs, just like everyone didnt sub to twitch prime.
