Anyone from the old forever guild playing this version?

[EaglePhoenix]

Yeah.

As a defender, im supposed to be at the front lines. However, these scouts seem to be glued to their starting positions so far back that they ruin out of the buff.

My option being to either rebuff every 5 seconds and not being able to taunt OR stay close enough to the scout and priest to stay in alm and empower range.

This results in me not being able to taunt ranged mobs properly and losing battle oversight when you can't tell if all mobs are hitting me or them.

2 hits and it's usually too late to adapt.

Additionally, all new respawned mobs are not automatically aggro'd on me, even if I have their linked counterparts on top of me.

When scouts and mages alike insist on aggroing multiple groups, there is no way for me to taunt both groups AND newly respawned mobs due to long cd's.

It's impossible to explain this to them.

My first time playing as a defender, though. Unfortunately I don't get to practice a lot

Yerp, even empower now gives .. not power, but defense. I didn't lvl any of those Defense nature (or w.e. it's called) and alike skills though for now (stunning party member and absorbing dmg). I do need a reskill soon to delete invoke.. (maybe, still debating).
Regardless of that, they still put out a ridiculous amount of damage .. albeit for a glory of no less than 9.7 seconds (lv 6).

Defending Nature (DN) is the best skill on the Defender tree IMO. You cast it on a party member and it will essentially allow you to tank for them for I think it is 10 seconds now? Use it in the elemental dungeon when a Scout pulls aggro and you're unable to AOE taunt. Roha's Shelter (if that's still the same skill it used to be) is more of a PvP skill, or at least it used to be.

No just no! DN is awefull if you ever get in tight spot. even if you only get 50% of the dmg if 10 Mobs Focus this Scout you speak of and they get ****load dmg like i hear it all day (1000-2000 dmg NO CRITS) it's insane. This Dmg you get from Defending Nature is in the called example(500-1000 non crits) can just out right kill you if you have Problems allrdy. Just use Roha's shelter on that foul, it resets his aggro, saves him no matter what, you dont lose hp your self and he even gets a bit hp back.(leave it at lvl 2-3 so Duration doesnt take him out to Long). If the Scout rly does it more often than every 60 seconds, just let him die. You are the Tank you decide the pace of the game not this stupid dmg-dealers.

People are stupid and they deserve to die, the problem is however that they're in your party and when they die you die too, eventually......you simply can't win.
