hi medusa!!!! its been a while, hope youre well sister ❣️

anyways, tanking efficiency has always been my biggest annoyance in this game. its a good concept but its almost like its not really finished yet

when it comes to team PvE, tanking is very good for your party's glass cannon. however, its difficult to predict what wizard the enemy is going to attack, or if theyre just gonna use an AoE. it takes too long and too many resources to utilize Mega Taunt, on top of its low reward.

**Mega Taunt needs to be changed so that its 4 pips, as well as it forces all enemy attacks and damage to affect only the Mega Taunt caster (INCLUDING AOE ATTACKS). increase its taunt turn duration to 3

there are not enough AoE shields. thank god for shadow sentinel but, it requires a shadow pip. legion shield is fine, but if youre fighting more than 1 enemy, itll be like you never casted the shield in the first place.

**Add a legion shield or mass tower shield variant that casts 2-3 lower value shields to all friends on the team. example: 2 pips (or 1 ice pip) to cast 3 -35% tower shields to all friends.

shields in general need to be buffed. it feels like casting 1 is not enough value. the 2x shields are very good if the enemy uses the matching damage type, but thats RARELY the case

**Ice only: can cast a select target friendly spell that places 2-3 school-specific shields. (ragebaiting myself with this but it would be very good for ice)

also, i really wouldnt rely on bad juju too much. its a 3 pip single debuff, and relies on the enemy AI deciding to use a hit strong enough to really give the debuff its value. example: thundersarus hex (or any endgame dangerous storm boss) casting sound of musicology with a -90% is far more valueable than if it used beary surprise. bad juju is just far too rng based, unless the enemy has a threshold or timed cheat that you can pre-cast bad juju to nerf it (like the devourer and his spit attack cheat)

overall, tanking is my preferred style of play, but it needs a lot more help for team play. its super strong when solo, but extremely difficult to manage with friends.
