Seduced or not you will never be hit twice in a row / during the duration of seduce.

Even with the avoid nerf we'll be getting where the max avoid you have is 90% ... that's still only a 10% chance anything will hit you. and it deff won't be happening 2~3 times within the seduce time depending on your HP.[/quote]

Yet on my db I still got screwed once by HT

[quote=Camdon]I wouldn't count DBs or Phantoms as a tank, because at the end of the day, they're an RNG based defense, unlike the Paladin guaranteed defense.

One unlucky seduce and you're screwed, atleast with a Pally you can tank a couple hits and most likely proc divine shield and not die.[/quote]

@shad0wsin93 combo barrier and high defense also adds some defense/reduce damage take and aran also get drain. But yea, aran wouldn't be in the top 3.

[quote=DjFunky]Isn't it ironic how mechs go into [b]TANK MODE[/b] and yet we still die faster then the average class.[/quote]

i died like 5000 times at lv50 soloing grinding their def is so low im dying pretty fast with noobie gear

[quote=Chubsin]Paladin and Mihile don't really burn that many potions. Yes, they might have to use potions more often, but you have to take into account that they have very little MP in the first place. You can use Blue Potions until late third job.[/quote]

i usually buy like 600 mana elixer just for mp burning im getting tired of clicking button 7000 times for every 50mp per sec so i decide get mana since it gives like 600 mp per sec?

edit:actually 300mp per sec out of 600 potion burning

[quote=Suckitms]well, i meant like never use hp or mp but paladin burns alot mp and same with mihile but i don't know who will be best tank ( since i like their 1 touch dmg so much)

edit: to demon avenger since his health will be like what 500k hp at lv200? or more? and cap damage?[/quote]

Bishops are pretty Tank-y.

[quote=Clashofpower]Shads are pretty good, they have 60% damage reduction, along with lots of defense from shield mastery along with avoid
But DBs are better in terms of avoiding all damage. Shads can just handle the damage, and DBs just avoid it[/quote]

yeah DB are like assassin they dodge every single attack, while shad is tanking little bit then smoked then finish it off

i have DB and shad they are fun but not tanks type imo ( i should play little more untill i get to know this class )

[quote=IxxBladesxxI]Dbs imo are sort of a tank... at a certain level they stop getting hit completely[/quote]

Shads suppose to be 2nd best, not sure not with all the new revamps and class. Kaiser is up there and people says BaMs are good even though i never played it before.

Mechanic is supposed to look like a tank. Though it's not really one?

[quote=x1mmortality]Battle Mage is number 2 I bet. They have invincibility skills, drain, stance and others I may have forgotten.[/quote]

i played battle mage before, ya kind of tanking class too since he heal him/herself and stance ( not bad imo but little annoying knockback but w/e its not like its 100% stance)

If by tank you mean like never use hp pots, maybe kaiser. I didn't use a hp pot from 30-130
