THE TANK CLASS! | Ability and Archetype Overview | Ashes of Creation

Discussing all about the tank! Going over the abilities and the secondary archetypes they have to show off!

WHAT ARE TANKS TRADITIONALLY IN MMO’s?

Tanks are the front line, the leaders, and the guys who take control of the battlefield. It’s the tanks job to keep all the enemies in a pack and only concentrated on them whilst utilizing cooldowns to keep themselves alive. Tanks deal moderate damage while spending most of their time in combat controlling, defending, and protecting their allies in the heat of battle.

It is also their job to control a fight, to help the party mitigate incoming damage, and to dictate who is getting hit. They can take an unconscionable amount of punishment and woe to those who ignore their commands.
