If you want to bring a PVE tank directly into PVP, it is doable if the sets you are wearing are mostly selfish. But if you actually want to kill other people on the same tank, you are better off doing the respec to damage. PVE tanks can hold their own in PVP, but you aren't killing anything and are mostly rooting players and leading the charge for allies to soak up damage.

I don't mind not killing people. Being a battlefield controller has been something I've enjoyed since the early days of Dungeons and Dragons so if it's mostly harassment and funneling people where I want them that's fine. I just wasn't sure if there was something I was sleeping on other than "craft a second set and put Impen on it."

I feel like I tried it once and got completely annihilated, granted I was still fairly new, but now there's "Nerf sword and board" threads popping up and I'm confused as to what it is that I've missed? I'd like to do more than just be the spearhead in giant ball groups, being able to hold my own while roaming would be nice or actually be able to help a friend out instead of having to just go "I can kinda harass him."
