Should they lessen chance stealth to add a 50% health stealth like RG taunt?

    Finn, Boba, Mace and Old Ben are all classed as tanks but have nothing which signifies that they are tanks.

    The classification system in this game is silly, and is only useful for determining which heroes are available in which challenges.

    Reading into the label more than that is a bad idea.

    So we will have less heroes available for the tank challenge? Great idea.

    From urban dictionary
    tank
    Noun: A player-character, typically in a MMORPG, that is able to occupy an agressor and take the brunt of the aggressor's attacks while the other players deal damage, heal, or perform some other action. The "tank" can survive longer while taking damage than the other characters. Typically, the tank has higher hitpoints (health) and a higher armor rating than the other characters. Less commonly, a character with a lower armor rating can perform the actions of the tank by using avoidance abilities. Ultimately, the tank needs to be able to occupy the agressor without dying. The method employed, whether avoidance or absorption, does not matter, as long as the tank can mitigate damage in some way.

    Verb: To "tank", or "tanking", would be the action of performing the duties of the tank as described above.
    1.N. That warrior is a good tank because he can take a lot of damage and he has a lot of hitpoints.
    2.V. The warrior is tanking the mob right now.
    3.V. Do you think you can tank this mob for us?


    Teebo is a unique tank in the sense that he causes disruption to who the enemy can target as opposed to directly taking the damage himself therefore providing damage mitigation. So cased on what @cosmicturtle333 said teebo is more of a tank than Bobba, Mace, old ben and finn

    I think that just because every other game classifies tanks as something that can take aggro doesn't mean this one has to. The problem is that RG is just so much better than the others right now. But you also can't have a tank that does Finn damage, RG taunts and stuns, and ST Han and Teebo tm manipulation.

    Rng chance stealth doesnt disrupt. It just makes you hope it saves the focus target.

    Honestly, I think at very high levels and geared, the Ewoks are flat out terrifying, given how well they synergize. I know...it was odd to type it too. At this point, calling for any kind of "buff" before we have seen full Ewok teams more, is way too early.

    It definitely disrupts. If the character you are focusing on suddenly gains stealth for 2 turns, your strategy has been disrupted.

    Teebo is fine as is.

    Sigh* have you ever used a higher geared / levelled Teebo @Zama_Zeckur ? I have him currently maxed at gear 9 and trust me he's pretty tanky! He protects his teamates by TM reduction rather than taunting.

    That comment makes no sense. It's like saying rng chance evasion doesn't disrupt. Of course it does

    Sorry, but I would prefer to have an enemy get to attack way less in some of the hard missions instead of a taunt. With the damage they put out, tm reduction is much more useful (a stun is nice, too).

    Your problem is that you have a set definition of what a tank should be in your head. That definition does not match the devs' definition. It is their game, and they say tanks do not need to have what you consider a tanky skill to be a tank.

    Accept that and you will be much happier with this game.

    Exactly. My two cents on the matter, most people who want Teebo fixed don't actually use Teebo. Those who use Teebo know he doesn't need fixed.

    You mean like the fact that darth maul(tank) is a super high damage/aoe with no health and savage oppress(support) is a super tanky tissue slapper with massive health?

    Whats wrong with that?

    Leave Teebo alone!

    Then prove how hes a tank but hardly anyone uses him as one

    To he honest. They do that mainly for the challenges i believe. The specific challenges require a more diverse group than having five toons taunting and nulling each other out. Some need do do some damage, some need to take some damage. They work together to form a cohesive team.
