Congratulations all non dk tanks!

Summerset will be your Awakening!

Silver Leash
This now pulls targets to you (Like Chains do), still costs Stamina.

Does this work on players? Please tell me it works on players. The news of the upcoming patch just keeps getting better for my tankblade.

Of course it does. Strangely enough, I just rerolled my magblade (tank) into a stamina toon. This and Meditation look dope af.

So what I'm hearing from this set of changes, all classes are going to be nearly identical after Summerset. What a bore.

OMG YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES

LOL its an improved blast from the past! Originally it would do that to all undead and daedra. It was great fun pulling vampires down from the top level in Lipsand Tarn.

They all kinda play differently. It's like orbs after morrwind. Not much changed but they could finally play effective in there role with their style.

So I can now pull select players from their group blobs into situations where they will be killed, have self burst heal, use my two hander on the back bar without losing any defense from my one set, which allows me to also have an aoe execute, forward momentum, soul siphon on my back bar will have 28 meter range, and the dark shade will provide an aoe debuff. I am finding it hard to contain myself right now.

How terrible to look at everything from such a negative view.

They’re going to balance and revamp many things that players have asked ZOS to do for years and you complain that each class is “identical?”

So screw non-Templar healers and non-DK tanks is what you’re saying?

Why force someone to play a Dragonknight if they want to be a “paladin”-type tank (which every MMO has to an extent) on a Templar? Or a blood magic tank on a Nightblade?

With Summerset, ZOS is finally making the “play how you want” concept of ESO a reality.

Well, there is still one main issue that's holding non-dk tanks from vet trials, and it's resource management with perma blocking. Maybe the skill Undo could work ... who knows, but Sorc tanks are getting huge buff! I'm glad I have one )

An mmo with effectively 10 different classes and you would have only 1 of them be considered a tank? I knoe im stretching the point, but the horde of people on this forum that complain about homogenization have no idea what they are talking about to be frank.

Each and every class plays each of the 3 roles distinctively different from one another, THIS is the attraction, the reality that i may approach role X or Y with class A or B from a fundamentally different way than you would with class C. Key components that dictate roles (resource utiltiy, mob grouping and controlling, taunting etc) are NOT and should never be bound to a single class.

5 healers
5 tanks
10 dps
Offers vast amounts of diversity in this game is nothing but an absolute positive the closer to this goal they get.

1 tank
1 healer
10 dps
Its almost disgusting in its limitiations for end game pve and pvp compositons. Plain and simple.

If you think for a second a NB tank will end up playinh like a DK tank because of something as basic as a mob pulling tool then you have a lot to learn here.

It's really about time.

I understand that DK players are feeling robbed but the moment chains and grouping mobs with them became the "standard" for a tanks actions then other classes were going to need an option for it.

The same with the Templar spears. When one class has access to an ability which becomes the requirement/expectation of anyone playing that role then they need to find ways to grant it to other classes whilst still letting the other classes retain something unique about their variant.

I recommended this change over a year ago. I'm thankful it's finally happening!

Runefang

It's going to be nice for the twins fight in MoL, we can all help pull.

Wrecking_Blow_Spam

Still gunna be kinda annoying if only costs Stam, but then I suppose you only do 3 or 4 pulls usually

Hell good

Now onward to the next chapter to share incapacitating strike ultimate with all classes

My sorc tank feels better and better

Yeah, this update is going to be fantastic for tank diversity. I'm happy I stuck around and didn't ragequit after they gutted NB tanking last year.

DKs are still going to be the go-to choice for endgame trial groups though - no one is getting the DK passives, Ig shields, or Engulfing - so like calm down and let the rest of us have this small thing pls. "Identical", my left foot.

This is gonna be real fun in PvP.
