well i can live with being bottom end of all tanks . most of us have learned to deal wiht shody aggro control ( hell a brig has a better single target taunt) low end HP and avoidance. But why in the world design mobs that make it near impossible for SK's to tank. im not even talkin about raid content i long since got over that all the uper end guild keep 1 around for [Removed for Content] and giggles. why make a single goroup instance where the end boss is so completely designed against certain classes specifcally assassin, necro , and SK ? its near impossible for Sk's to Tank Drusilla unless the group make up is perfect . there is no flexibility at all. this is not a flame thread but i just makes me wonder if the devs even like this class , though its better then it was . I will definately move on when the next gen of MMO's start hitting the shelves AOC and War hammer. Anyone else feeling frustrated?

<p>There was a whole thread about this last week (in the gameplay section I believe). SKs tank it just fine actually. Lots of great suggestions there for all tanks about how to get it done if you are having problems. Think it's under the title Drussila or some such. Should show up in a recent search.</p><p>Completely dissagree with the first line or two you wrote, but that's a different story lol.</p>

I think that makes it all the better. Though, i personally havent struggled with this, so i do not share the same wrath for it as you do. But, just because an enemies defenses are higher towards some things than others doesnt mean the devs hate a specific class.

Yes ive done it myself too. it takes a a well organized group reguardless of class tanking. Frustrated with the whole underlying theme i guess. Many mobs operate like this. So much so that groups are not taking SK's for tanking purposes, The class is definately better then at was 4 years agon but this type of mob scripting only promotes crusader stigma IMO our group and singe target taunts need to be increased though that is a bit off topic. just seems we continually give us the dunce cap in the three tank strengths . Taunt HP and Avoidance, Making mobs that further expoloit the strengths like our dot heavy offensive line just seems to further stigma our usefulness .

One enemy in one group instance that's slightly trickier than the other end-bosses. Suck it up.
