I'm sure it will come as no surprise to you swashies that the actual "tank" classes might not enjoy the fact that a scout class can out tank them.  I wouldn't be shocked to see comments asking for swashbuckler nerfs ref: this post.  I'm not sure why you would post something like this actually.

The other night in SoS a lvl 60 swashbuckler joined our group and the first words out of his mouth are "Guess I'm tanking eh?".  Mind you I'd been tanking as a lvl 65 monk for an hour already.  I politely said that I don't mind tanking and we went to business with no wipes.  However, it's very frustrating to have a non-tank class (even 5 lvls lower!) offer to tank over a fighter class.

All I can recommend is keeping quiet about your tanking prowess.  Based on other classes' bragging about dps, solo ability, unbreakable roots, etc that's one sure way to get SOE's attention.  They won't fix anything in a timely manner but by god they will reduce effectiveness of skills in a heartbeat.

I'd say that we're no more or less a tanking class than Monks are....

And that is one hell of a ludicrus statement ....
