Some of issues around 2hndr tanks are gear related, there are plently of weapons with speed boosts on hit. The only issues I have had with 2 hndr tanks is that they seem to be every SC with a load of regular tanks on top. Guards for everyone.peterthepan3 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 26, 2019 1:40 pmWhere is the detaunt for 2h? The gap closers? The incoming heal debuffs?
2h tanks were meant to be tanks. Changes that were made in the past few months have been indicative of this: You Wot?! allowing 2h BOs to perform their role of offensive tank (an emergency get-out-of-jail card when focused), bringing Anger Drives Me back down and removing Rebounding Hatred (so that a 2h BG could effectively deal with Guard damage while performing his role of offensive/utility tank), etc.

I think that it should be decided amongst you, are they dps or not? If they are not dps, nerf their dps to S+B dps.

Very valid point, and one that has been raised internally (speed proc is simply too good).Zanilos wrote: ↑Wed Mar 27, 2019 6:36 pmSome of issues around 2hndr tanks are gear related, there are plently of weapons with speed boosts on hit.peterthepan3 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 26, 2019 1:40 pmWhere is the detaunt for 2h?
