Yea, thats what ive heard.. just a lil hesitant.. b/c i used to play a sk.. and i like the crusader type.. and was a lil iffy on the zerkers dmg.. wasnt sure how good they were .. but ive only heard good things about them... i guess ill give them a whirl.. if anyone else has other inputs plz leave them THNX
A well played SK will be the best tank for pvp for a couple of reasons... good damage, good defence, life taps HT and tap veins.
Will also be more flexible in small pvp groups than a berserker too.
Yea, thats what i think too.. but im going on the good side.. cause all my buddies want to.. and we all pvp together.. so its really between pally or zerker... any recomendations? are pallies as good as sks? *i dont think they are.. but could use a 2nd opinion. and if they are as good.. are they better than a zerker for pvp?
One of my alts is a 45 Guardian on the Nafagen server. Its really hard to solo with him, but hes awesome in Group/Raid PvP.
His taunts absolutely own everything. Its nice to startle the healer/DPS!!!!
Pladin wont be as good as a SK, but will have a pretty nice survability, if you like crusaders, give it a shot.
Berserker and guardians have more tools to be a raid tank for sure, but this tools wont help in PVP as it wont help in duos and trios too.
Most of people dont know how to play a crusader, and this generate a bad reputation, but if you already have a SK and you like it, maybe will you like the paladin role. As a Paladin in a pvp battle, with your own heals and a healer support you will be harder to kill.
You see, warriors are the most popular, easy to play tank, when asking for popular opinion, berserker will be always the number one, sure it is a incredible class, but a well played crusader can be great.
In the end , play the class that you like, warriors and crusaders are both pretty nice, even a brawler can have a real nice performance in pvp and small groups.
A swashbuckler with STA aa line can be the perfect tank in pvp battles too, think about it...
When the spot is for a pvp tank, considering that in pvp you will adventure in trio a lot of times, berserker is not the absolute choice...but as I said, easier and popular...
If you plan to please the estereotypes or fill a raid tank spot and do good damage, berserker is a good choice... as you already know the good things about crusaders.
In the end, go with the one that you like, I have both and can have fun with both ( crusader and warrior )... but again, check the skills of a swash tank in pvp...
