Everything I've seen regarding The Old Republic suggests that Jedi/Sith are the tanks and also do very good damage, but they're pretty much entirely limited to melee and the weaknesses inherent with that role. The other classes are all based on range.<br /><br />Granted, this is Star Wars, which relies heavily on ranged weapons to begin with, but it does still seem like it's *possible* to have a tank without having to give up too much in the way of damage.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09024178082042301533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5273077195457377371.post-3144094282119841672009-11-19T16:56:34.200-05:002009-11-19T16:56:34.200-05:00Well, not everyone has the stamina (irl) to be abl...Well, not everyone has the stamina (irl) to be able to take lots of hits, either. Some people are just more durable than others... (suddenly I'm reminded of the movie "Unbreakable!"). So I don't see anything wrong with having some who are tanks and some who are just plain squishy!<br /><br />It just wouldn't be appropriate in a choose-your-character MMO to have someone be both VERY durable and VERY powerful in damage-output, since such a class would be chosen by everyone as being the "best." There has to be some kind of balance.<br /><br />But I'm rambling now :)Kaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16164718601021220108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5273077195457377371.post-89909819106545951722009-11-19T11:15:07.473-05:002009-11-19T11:15:07.473-05:00Ahhhhhh the Holy Trinity..

Perhaps not as intelligent as the rest of us.Cassandrihttp://www.hotsdots.comnoreply@blogger.com
