<div></div>Apparently some posters were worried that SoE would nerf us for being an effective tank with the right equipment and AAs - i.e one that holds agro and has high mitigation/avoidance.........strange that SoE has just <u><font color="#ffff00"><b>BOOSTED</b></font></u> the AoE taunts power in the last update <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> Accept it = <b><i><u>the swashie "light-tank" setup is here to stay</u></i></b><div></div><p>Message Edited by Wildfury77 on <span class=date_text>04-14-2006</span> <span class=time_text>12:13 PM</span>

Swashbuckler still can't compare to actual Fighters for tanking ability, even with the Stamina line. So it is pretty doubtful there is any need for a nerf.
