    "Ultimate Generator" should be the title you get. Cause that's all you are to me. Also" Useless to Your Faction" because you cause zero damage and do nothing for your faction at all.

    Blocktard seems appropriate.

    Me and a few friends found the trick to kill tanks.

    1. Step 1 get a few mag wardens with decent builds, 3 should do as well as a nb.
    2. Have some ults ready, time your fissures. Prepares your ults such a meteor
    3. Fissures go off and hit through block for around 8k each, tank takes 20-28k~ dmg.
    4. Have nb fear and use ults as well, wardens should have a dive hit for 5-6k~ as well an an ult.

    Tank dies in 2 seconds without reacting.

    If your hitting a "tank" for more than 3k that's not a tank when I get bored I get on my trails tank and go into pvp I enjoy walking into 5 or 6 destro ultimates and still don't care cause most people play the recovery build now that can't sustain there are the occasional people that do hit hard but including I heal my whole health bar within 3 second I doubt your fight someone that has any idea how to tank I would guest they hold block run out of resources and die like and idiot

    The way you make is sound is your Zerging and if you can't kill a tank with 24 people you suck

    Facetanking people for 2 min straight is outright useless if you can't hope to kill or even damage them at all. It's just a waste of time for everyone.

    When I find such a tank in Cyro I just ignore him and let him contemplate is uselessness when he can't stop me from simply sieging a keep or killing his friends.

    You ignore him while he takes ressources or in BGs getting flags while his team mates take other stuff the same time?
    Interesting, apparently he fulfilled his job for his faction in comparison to you.

    The game is more than kill stuff fast you know.

    I miss Poawers. I used to follow him around and pick off people that were futilely wacking away at him.

    I also got him to pick up a scroll on his templar tank from the temple of mnem, and he tanked 12-30 people at a time while my guild at the time would build ults and them bomb them off him. Took like 15 minutes to make the trip, but he survived like a boss.

    Poawers and Gorrag both

    I've been lucky enough to be in a group with 3 or 4 real PVP tanks in my time of playing, and as a DPS/ganker/bomber you just learn to appreciate just how much it takes

    Gorrag used to use SIEGE while people were beating on him

    and also people who call these guys useless - they aren't - they can get dummies to run around and beat on them for 10-15 mnts and normally only die when HUGE numbers finally show up and take them down - all those people beating on them never reach their destination, so all good

    Look man you are NOT useless if you get 10 potatoes to chase you for 5+ minutes while you shrug off their damage. What's even better is when an actual organized group does the same exact thing as those potatoes.

    I said in Cyro. That guy becomes usefull when people start chasing him. But since he's no threat to anyone, no one should chase him. You can't take a ressource by holding block in the face of npcs.
    I was trying to setup siege on a keep with a friend the other day, this tank shows up. We try to kill him and we quickly realise that even by timing both ultis we aren't going to dent his hp.

    So we put down our sieges and started shooting down the walls. He couldn't do anything about it. He didn't do any damage to us, and we just CCed him whenever he tried burning our siege. There you have it, useless player.

    Truth.

    Watched Escorpiao yesterday bait 10 players off their siege where they derped on him uselessly until they died from the enemy siege raining in their heads. Then the only person who didn't take the bait got zerged down when the rest of AD mustered up the guts to get off the walls. :D

    Potato magnet maybe, but there's a lot of starch in Cyrodiil.

    Gorrag was one of two legitimate tanks we have ever run in our raids, that dude was amazing at what he did. Give him 30 seconds to get a horde properly tunnel visioned on him and they never see your bomb coming.

    Well done, but that's not a defending situation for the tank.

    I am talking about you coming to that ressource that a tank just flipped ... Now what?
    You are running away or need to wait for your buddies to show up while the tanks faction is up to something big at the same time somewhere else.

    You still think that Facetanking people for a long time is straight useless? I don't think so, tanking is situational and not a bad thing in general. If you play like me people don't run anywhere, they stick right at my shield because they hate the idea that they cannot kill me with their damn procc builds. They want to duel or 3 man me while i pick one after eachj other out of their grp and guess what they come back with 5 or 10 next time until i am dead.

    Sorry, but that's just my experience as a tank in Cyrodiil. They want to get face tanked all day and night.
