Swashy tanks like the nerfs?

[A 12 Gauge 007]

<DIV>I [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn] near got killed by a pack of mobs 20 lvls below me yesterday trying to blow through some heritages. What yall think about the Mit changes. My mit is less then way down.</DIV>

<P>My mit dropped by about 400-500</P> <P>Thank you Sony.  Now I can get the new armor and be just as I was pre patch.</P>

<div></div>Yes defensive stances amongst the scouts are far from even now. Ours used to be on par with that of assassins due to mit being of more over all usefullness.  Assassins get huge buff to avoidance with AGI, DEF, and Parry (significant buffs at that).  Now we get a +15% to our nerfed mit, meanwhile avoiance is more valualble than previously.I used to get 432 or something mit from defensive stance.  Now I get 15% of 2200?  I think the +15% is great for actual tanks, but it makes our stance less usefull IMO while the scouts with the avoiadance based stances got a buff. I feel that Sony made the changes to balance out the tanks and forgot that it will affect the other classes with stances.Edit:  Well looking at the combat changes it seems that avoiadance is not nearly as usefull as it was touted to be. Maybe all scouts are equally bad at tanking now.<div></div><p>Message Edited by SmCaudata on <span class=date_text>11-15-2006</span> <span class=time_text>11:20 AM</span>

<DIV>this is horrible</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I used to solo the first floor of nest when bored...it's 7 levels below 70 right? What is challenging for a group when 63s are yellow should be doable by someone 7 lvls over it...</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>The pairs of trash mobs did a lot of dmg to me just to get them dead...</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Khranz I had absolutely no chance against at all...before I would lung puncture and he would miss so much. Now it's just 500 500 700 500 etc.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Tried whittling him down with ranged/snared first too but after a few quick snare breaks I just gave up</DIV>

Since everyones mitigation is lower - then i'm not sure you can call it a nerf! just different numbers/combat balance now <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />The death of the swashtank is exagerated just logged off after group made me MT over a monk against 72^^^s in an instance, the monk did try first but why let someone with less HPs and bad equipment tank "just because hes a fighter"........some peeps will never learn!!Long live the swashtank <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> love the new expansion so far<div></div>
