They are dam fun to play, and dam boring also. When it comes to find a group that invites you.

Thane's are really fun to play, in PvE that is. Haven't got him into level 50's yet, but according to what people say they don't get groups in rvr.

Why is that? Mez breaking? or?

I mean, they aint that bad in pvp, or am I wrong? I've been dueling other tanks at same level at level 20'ish, and he seems to do very nice. Although it might get different at higher levels?

In duel situations they are great, as in PvE. But when it comes to group RvR.... there's nothing a thane can offer that noone else does better. Apart from breaking mez

 

[nightcrawl]

If they are good in PvE and in duels, wouldn't that make them good in a pvp situation?

I mean, they still do as much damage as in duels?

Or is it that they are have a weaker defense and hp, and dont survive long enough if there are other people casting spells and such at them while they are fighting?

 

[Ardrias_Mid]

They die like flies

If they at least had heavy frontloaded damage to make up for it, but oh no.

 

[Balbor]

at least they have a 1500 ranged instent caster interupt spell . If they let all DD casters cause damage to the same effect as cloth casters they would be a lot more RvR friendly. (Support the critical for Cleric campain)

Otherwize get lifter and carry siege weapons with you all the time. Any group going on a Keep raid/retake always welcomes a heavy GTAE damage dealer in there group.

Actually there is a mid-class doing mezz-breaking better but in a less obvious way... Enter the Cave-shammy!

AE-dot to make 'em mezz-proof!

On topic:

I like my thane in PvE but in RvR I play my SB and BD more because those can take care of themselfs to some extent and getting groups in RvR is, at times, really hard.

does it really pay to go over 39 in weapon and get the rest from + in items?

imho 39 weapon, 42 shield, 48 SC and rest in parry seems better
