[SM] 2H considered DPS or Tank?

[wargrimnir]

simple tests for solo 2h tank.

#1.
guard sorc/bw, choppa/slayer.
see how long you can stand.

#2.
often find yourself checking dps chart after SC or during SC.

#3.
challenge is located far far away from main skills.

#4.
where would you WANT to go
left side 50ft away, enemy caster beaten half hp.
right side 50ft away, ally caster beaten half hp.

#5. grp test
join 1grp premade.
tell them you're a tank and see their reaction after 1 round.

if still think you're a tank,
I guess SC manager already treat u as tank.

I should add this to the wiki

Best way (not the most efficient) and most fun is to play SnB DPS SM. You gonna surprise several classes by damage outpoot on them and when they realized they should have detaunt You and kite away its mostly late

Also I think You gonna be considered as a "tank" in que to pug SCs.

Except that it’s fundamentally wrong, sure.

Ah, the delightful chilling effects of being active on the forums.

What's so fundamentally wrong about it? Is there something wrong about being funny? Having a bit of introspective self-deprecating awareness? Are you just a jerk?

2h sm is, and always will be the most beautifull tank <3

Spoiler:

...these are just bad players, not a real "DPS."

Or, perhaps, they are players playing their toon in the manner which is the most fun and enjoyable for them during the time they have to invest in playing this game.

Heresy, I know, to suggest someone should play their toon in a manner which does not account for your feelings, but hey...

If you want to assist dps and heal at the same time, great, you are still doing your job. However, if a healer is not healing they are a weak link in the group. Sorry I expect people to play with some coordination and teamwork in a multiplayer team-based game? If playing badly is how you want to spend your time that's great I guess. Kind of shooting yourself and your group in the foot.

If you make your own group with people who are cool with lol dps off specs then even better have fun. But imo its a **** move in pug grps.

If you are a healer you need to heal. If you are tank you need to be guarding. A dps healer/tank is never as good as just another dps.
