FAO:Mages, Healer etc read this!

[old.Icebreaker]

Looks like most Support Classes, Mages etc don't know what a Defence Tank (50 shield/Sword[Blunt/Piercing] ) is good for because i see most of the Mages i Guard from behind while they run away from Enemy Tanks in useless Circles or something.

I will speak for myself now but i think most of the other Defence Tanks (The few we have ) will tell you the same.

If i join a Group i let the Person (mage, healer etc) know that i guard him. Use that. Iam always near you and if not (rooted, mezzed etc) then come to me if you can. Blocking up to 3 Tanks for you is no problem. Noone can interrupt you if i block for you and you won't die that fast like you do if you run away. I can't catch up while you run and Guard is useless if iam behind you trying to slam the tanks wacking you. You will die in 99% of all attacks anyway if you run away.

Getting tired of running Mages in my Group

Switching Guard btw several Mages, Healer etc in Group is no problem for me.

So here is the rule if i guard you:

Never run away from me! :wall:

Your,

Slambot

So true, hate that people always run away from you, or move away when you put your big ugly firby body over them to hide them. If you gonna run away, you must start before they reached you or _After_ they are slammed/pfd whatever, cause these days most enemy tanks learned to sprint.

Unless you had prevent flight of course, in which case it's ok to run away from a perma snared mid/alb, you can get to work again

Wish more tanks could be like icebreaker then, more often than not tanks rush in and don't give a squat about the casters, and after a while we casters just get a bit jumpy =)

Yeah know what you mean. Group tends to work better if the tanks stay closer to the mages and healers, and let the mages do all the damage, but to do this u need a good mezzer normally. But often the tank rush in and start hitting people, which can also be a good thing, depends on the situation I guess

Back to the subject...... Icebreaker is great blocker though, worth sticking near him

Atleast defending mages isnt a problem in IG
Never have them in grp

 

[Easdown]

ypu im one of those that just rush in, i am 50 pierce/shield but cant be bothered following some useless mage around, rather go for their casters
