PvP Tanking in MMOs has always been a chore. From completely different primary jobs in PvE/PvP, to different skill sets being required, all the way to skills and abilities being completely useless in PvP, it’s never been a good time. There is one decent example of PvP tanking in MMOs being good, how we can take that example, expand on it and make Ashes of Creation that best MMO possible, for all classes and roles?

For the algorithm
Long live the Tank! I like the SWtOR skills. It would definitely have a place as some sort of Tank augment. Also, what about an augment for the tank that sacrifices some defense for a hard hitting move. It would make Tanks more PvP viable with the augment choice but not change their base function. I've got no Tank experience and little MMO experience. So I may be way out in left field.
The best PvP tanking is found in Planetside 2. It uses actual tanks 🙂
Does seem like group damage mitigation is the best role a tank can have in PvP, and its not complex or hard to implement.
