Give us 20% HP boost.

Sounds like my kid wanting an ice cream and forgetting he's talking to his father.

Requests need to be polite and have a good argumentation for it (maybe you have a good point but no one is a mind reader).

+20% HP won't fix anything for them on its own. Might be best to give them the tools they were given on live. Slight buff to spell damage resist, and PBAE demezz. Maybe a +5-10% hp buff but the first two would be better.

As for why? Well they survived and did well in OF but with NF they are reduced to being ram operators due to their resilience to siege damage. They can't climb walls, and I'm not asking for that, and their DPS is less than other melees. They bring laughable ranged damage, and with a good chunk of fights happening in or near keeps with NF they aren't nearly as useful as they once were.

Quite honestly if it feels like its too much of a buff, I'd rather we start with only one thing like the PBAE demezz and work our way from there.

Main tanks do fine vs. melee, it's casters they need help against.
Give them a massive boost to spell resist, and allow them to shrug of caster damage.

i would also say give tank better tools to actively protect their team, playing a bodyguard is really difficult ( im playing hero)

-make the guard block bolts on guarded player.
-give a damage reduction like 15 % to guarded player if we are in range.
-make intercept more dynamic, we can re add it after few seconds and we use our own armor, it could also had a chance to intercept DD spells?

Main tanks are perfectly fine, you’re playing them wrong if you are trying to be a huge DPSer.

All comments above suggested defensive or utility boosts

So, in that context...how do you believe your comment makes any sense?

They already have that with soldiers barricade. Heavy tanks have one of the best Ra's with sob and dashing defense. They don't need a buff. Just play them a little longer so you get higher in realm rank and you will carry the grp.

Keen hit the nail on the head. Maybe you don’t have the right RAs, maybe you aren’t getting the support from your group that you should be. If you’ve ever played against a group with a good main tank you’d be saying the complete opposite. You just haven’t fought a good one and maybe you aren’t as good as you think you are. I see so many tanks who get killed instantly because they had no clue what they were doing. If you need help on playing a main tank talk to Ferboten on hib, he’ll set you straight.

No he won't. He'll laugh at you, call you a scrub, and then ignore you.

He’s not like that, he literally just answered a question for me yesterday cause I don’t know tank stuff, I’m a caster player.
