    Default Where oh Where are all the Tanks Gone?

    I've been rogue since I began playing Arcane Legends 2 1/2 years ago. Over the course of time, I've noticed a distinct prejudice against the warrior class. "They are too slow". "They have little damage". To my dismay, it appears many tanks are giving up the battle, they are slowly becoming extinct. I hate to see this, I've always enjoyed parties that include tanks. Why is the few minutes less time the end all and be all? It's is sad that when you look through friend list these days, many of our old friends are gone. I realize that each class has its pros and cons but it will be a sad day when all the tanks have vanished, the loss of such a great class is sad, Arcane Legends will be a two class game, and we will all have lost an essential component of this game.

    I used to main a tank, my guildmates would always try to invite tanks to parties but usually everywhere else no one wanted a tank. So I sold my bulwark and now I play on a rogue. Its missing a mythic bow and mythic ring but I still get invites to parties. Funny when a half mythic geared rogue gets more invites than a full mythic/arcane tank

    Always seems to be tons of them when you do pub event parties. Pretty common to get 3 of them and have epic long battles. One is great, 3 is bad.

    I know how it is Rosna, I've seen a LOT of my friends changing to rogue, and the bad thing is they were good tanks, i always liked to play with them even in arena ( everyone say arena a place just for rogues) but when i ran with one of my friends in arena sometimes it was better than a full party of rogues. I hope the rest of the players that play as a warrior don't give up,there's still people who like to have a tank in pt,im one of them.

    Well said all, I love to party with tanks and mages. I guess I'm old school but I love a party with all classes. I like the people I meet, all classes, we run arena, elites, tombs and have a blast. Isn't that what this game is all about?

    I held out as long as I could with tank, but it just got too boring and I gave it up (cry).... Now I'm having same problem as mage (cry) ..

    And I totally agree that it really ridiculous that a half geared rogue is more useful than maxed geared mage or tank for majority of runs.

    Not just that, sometimes I'll get a pm from a different party group wanting for me to join them so they can have a full pt to run with them. If I tell them I'm in a pt they'll tell me to leave and join their group..

    Yeah... Every group is short on rogues (mostly cause that's the only class that kills anything without taking forever) ... That's all I see in guild chat, or in towns, or in tombs... Need rogue... Blah blah blah... Gear doesn't even matter for most part... It's sad

    A legendary tank or mage can stand around begging for groups for hours or days, but if u legendary rogue you'll find one no problem... It's just beyond my understanding how they can allow such as great class divide to go on for so long.

    Stat doesn't even matter nowadays. I've seen full legendary rogues with around 470 damage and 27% crit (just estimate) get invited to parties over mages with 620+damage(mythic gun), and this is when the mage(s) had been asking for a few minutes with no one else around. I've seen this happen because I was afk while eating dinner. And I saw the tank and 3 rogues go into t3, leaving the mage behind.

    My main is warrior and these are my thoughts.
    I have noticed that a lot of tanks don't know how to tank. So this is maybe part of the problem with people not inviting them. I have a couple lower level chars and I am always baffled at how so many people playing the war class have no idea of how to play their role. So when people get to end game they have stopped running with tanks because they where useless at the start so why use them at the end.
    I also think people get discourage playing war because the war is slower to level and harder to solo, so they just switch class.

    Yeah exactly!

    I get invites, but only cause I'm maxed out... I feel so bad watching all the mages and tanks standing around begging and crying for a group and I feel their pain... I understand and appreciate classes having their individual roles, but the way things are pets do a much better job of being a mage or tank... Lol

    This was the case a long time ago, but the problem now isn't with the tanks as much as the class itself... Tanks just can't properly hold aggro... Their skills aren't built for it and one shot from a mage or rogue overrides their aggro... The best they can do is use all aggro skills, but even that isn't much help... Especially when pets can stun and pull mobs better than a mage or tank can.
