God I hate making a thread like this, but after some resent developments it just seems well timed... Getting to the point, tanking needs to be tweaked so people see Lnc as a viable option for a class to roll, rather then avoid it like the plague. As is tanking simply becomes too repetitive, and long winded. After a point, fights start taking simply too long, and with the battle system such as is, small mistake's start to happen. And at the end you are debating why not re-roll something else. If thing's go south.

What i am getting at, is to automate some of the processes so Lnc doesn't feel like a chore, and is more fun and appealing. While off the top of my head i can recommend anything which would no be flamed to death. I my opinion there's still room for improvement of this class.

I have fun as a lancer. I still want to do more damage rather than be forced to stack threat crystals and threat enchant bonuses, but it is still fun.

They did mention on another thread about upcoming changes to tanking on Ktera (blocking not taking mana) and they're going to make lancers more solo friendly.


I however much prefer the tanking style of warriors, though I can't que as tank as a warrior.

Lancers are fine, as is.

There are always trade-offs. It saddens me that some people always seem to want to have every toon be "leet" at everything.

Lancers can kill most everything solo... just takes them a bit longer. A good lancer, in a well played group, can kill everything and do that continuously for the duration of the party's stamina.

lancers are fine as is, recent is spelled with a C.

I gladly accept new changes for Lancer, especially when Warrior will be becoming better tanks with their new changes.

I made Lancer to 60 but wow, what a boring run. I'm just really hoping the future update makes them a bit more fun for solo and grouping.

It's being fixed in upcoming patches for both Warriors and Lancers including, supposedly, a damage form for Lancers.

hmm, I'm only 54 but have completely enjoyed my run as a lancer.

I lot of people play Lancer, theres classes that have less people playing them than Lancer, the problem is, Lancers are the only tanks that can queue.

1 tank
2 healers
5 dps

There lies the problem.

Isn't all tanking repetitive, thus making it boring for some people? Isn't it the same with DPS and healing? Maybe I'm missing something, but usually not much changes when tanking, and in TERA at least there's more movement and changes throughout the fight.
