Did you tell him?

Did you tell him that Wolver and Cobalt have the exact same defensive stats? The only difference is Wolvers damage bonus and freeze resistance

No-Thanks

This is because the guys in HoH tell LIES.

Spiral plate talking about tanking, Cobalt guy saying he's still good without fancy resist,etc.

Cobalt actually has a little more Normal defense than the Wolver line. It doesn't really matter though, it's hardly noticeable if it all and still doesn't even come close to making up for the lack of damage bonus and freeze resistance.

Mad bomber is fine in fsc if

Mad bomber is fine in fsc if you don't have lag. I want to use Azure in fsc, but the damage bonuses from wolver gear is simply too useful.

How can you "tank" in this game? It's not possible from what I gather.

I find it funny to see how

I find it funny to see how people think they can play classic mmo archetypes in SK.

Sure, you may stop that sofa from hitting me, but if I'm playing swordsmen, I need to be close to hit them. And so your shield blocks nothing for me, as the projectile will still hit me. Unless you are tanking puppies for a polaris, in which case good for you.

There isn't much in the way of supports either. You drop hazes, vortexes, callahan interrupt for attacking devilites.

Well, Nick did mention in the other Thread , that some Items are getting some changes, so maybe Plate Mail Lines can get a Damage Boost & Cobalt Line get a Minor Defence against all Damage Types/ Separate Lines to Cover all Damage Types?
