Tanks with taunts are a joke...

How is that TANKS have less health than non tank characters? Maybe I'm missing something does tank mean something different in this game than others? I thought a tank was suppose to have very high health to take some serious punishment. But it seams these tanks die before the job is done, lol.

I wish I had not spent the time and mats leveling him up.
True. By definition, Tanks should be able to last until the heals come. It's not the case in this game
at least let their stats reflect their role
^^ this for sure, they should be a dynamic we can add to flush out new strategy.

Based on this link I agree and now I must read this.
I agree with your analysis. I give CG the benefit of doubt and that they didn't design it this way. Probably they didn't expect the whales will go so nuts and level tie pilot to 7* and gear 8 so quickly.
Poe is absolutely game changing and allows teams to win the match in the first turn.
I think the purpose of the tank is to keep your party from falling fast. Kenobi does this with his crowd control and his death boosts that could seriously sadden an unsuspecting opponent. Poe and Chewbacca draw your opponent's fire. The Royal Guard adds to your team's defense. So on and so forth.
The combination of Poe, fotp, leia + any healer or ben, at max level is one of the deadlines teams because it can kill you in 1 minute and AI controls it pretty well.
So yea Poe as a tank is not a joke.
Poe is a joke, unless he is with all resistant toon line up. I don't see anyone using poe in my servers top 100, in fact no tanks are being used. Its funny to even call them tanks, they get two hits out of the game. My jedi consular makes a better tank than any on the market. I seen Him eat hits like if it was snow being thrown at him, Also lumi takes it like a champ and shes a fighter. Tanks as they are now, should be called support and tanks in this game are non existent.
First you probably dont see a poe in your top 100 because people who use him probably use QGJ or phasma as lead. Secondly unless your in top 5 where you see big spenders who have a 6-7* leia, fotp or qgj, you probly havent seen poe at hus full potential. Thirdly poe is not a traditional tank to survive and last 2 turns, he is solely used as a distraction/expose so that leia, fotp and qgj can pick off at least 2 members of your team before you can even go.
Your talking about you JC, i have a 6* fully geared JC and he drops like a fly to this team; when u actually face this team then u will understand that once poes taunt goes off, your chances of winning greatly drops.
Poe is the ONLY viable tank with a taunt. He is super-fast, has decent health and resists most of the detrimental effects to heal himself. It's not fun when Han or Chewie can be taken out by FOTP or Leia with one shot.
In my opinion tanks in this game fill the right role. They are a very short term control/support hero. Their job isn't to take hits for the team infinitely. They exist to either control the enemy or boost your general defense/combat ability. Thus, the support title.
Han and Poe both do this quite well in different ways.
Poe is great at providing a short-term shield to a glass cannon. The expose is a welcome benefit. He also does well as a survival tank against the debuff classes due to his personal tenacity. His speed is probably his shining feature as he will act before the hardest hitters in the game. Poe is fairly well tuned as is due to a stun/ability block in the first round (Dooku) pretty much renders him ineffective, buying time to shatter the cannons.
Han brings a lot of utility with turn meter manipulation and fills a different but interesting role. I don't have him nor face him enough for more of a detailed opinion but he seems good.
Oh... That's an interesting idea. Could we have duels in this game? That would rock!
IF she hits with her dispel
I'm sorry you feel this way, I'm totally F2P and finish top 50 everyday with my F2P only options. I'ts really not hard but does take a lot more theory-crafting and foresight to become competitive far longer than 4 weeks
I'm not entirely sure you understand what **** is. (Can I say grape)
Lol at all the differing opinions in this thread, though.
All I'm saying is the value of the game is very tainted. You pay alot for nothing. It's all based on luck or rich ppl who don't care what the end total price is.
Sorry you feel that way, but i haven't spent 1cent on this game and i finish top 10 everyday now and i finish the 1st alot too. You can still compete too some degree, well depending on whos on your server
Damage mitigation? Tanks are killed before they can use the taunt. I'm sorry but if the argument is you need a full maxed out gear for a tank to be useful than that's **** IMO. 6k HP lvl 60 maxed tank will not make enemy actions less efficient, sorry.
Tanks are also slower than other OP characters so they will die before they get a turn. Lumi ability does 5k damage in one turn so any tank is useless at that point. If you look at HODA and the actual tank characters you will see the difference. That is what a tank should look like not these.
