This is a completely new concept to me. No other game that I've played has this option. In all other MMOs I usually played a healer or dps, just because there was no viable option for a tank in PVP... but now there is!!!

I'm playing a tank Assassin and am loving it. I am ALWAYS #1 protector on my team. It is especially nice for Huttball because in addition to the damage reduction I can put on my team, I also have amazing control over enemies (slows, knockback, grips, etc.)

Anyone elses thoughts?

My Juggernaut just sits there and doesn't take damage. Unless I get targeted by like 3+ guys my health barely moves and with a good healer you just run through everything!

Do Juggernauts have any sort of mitigation for their teammates?
Such as the Assassins Guard.. (Guards the target while it remains within 15 meters. While active, the target takes 5% less damage and generates 25% less threat. In addition, 50% of all incoming damage from enemy players is transferred back to you.)

All tank classes have a guard ability, and taunts make players do 30% less unless they attack the tank.

was killing a 41 elite on my 40 bounty hunter tank when a republic sorc attacked me.
killed the sorc then finished off the elite
on the same char had a 44 warrior attack me, got him to half life before he ran off. caught him and finished him off.

so either they suck balls or bounty hunter tanks pwn

tanks just have so much mitigation, and their damage isnt that far behind dps of their level, so you can rock through just about anyone in pvp.

Juggernaut has Guard as well.
Also I have two spells that absorb damage.
Invincible 60% damage reduction.
Saber Ward 25% damage reduction.
Also scream gives you a bubble that also absorbs damage.
You also have like 4 stuns and a knock back.

i love juggernaut more and more everytime i play a pvp match

Indeed. However I saw a decked out level 50 PvP Juggernaut do about 200k damage the one game. I was stoked to know that's what Juggernauts can do.
