Before you read this suggestion, read this-

THIS IS A CONCEPT NOT A FINAL IMPLEMENTATION
I swear if i get one more person saying "i dont like this" without stating a reason, or "this is OP, do not implement", or even "you spelt this wrong", then i will pop a vein in the middle of my forehead.
Repeat:DO NOT POST ANYTHING UNLESS IT HAS DIRECT RELEVANCE TO THIS TOPIC, AND IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING BAD OR GOOD TO SAY, MAKE SURE YOU LEAVE A REASON, IF SOMETHING IS ALREADY IN GAME DOESN'T MEAN IT CANT BE CHANGED, NOR SOMETHING IN THIS ARTICLE

I WILL POINT YOU AGAIN TO THE FIRST RED MESSAGE

Different Battle Modes/Stances

Inside the "Skills" Spellbook, there could be a new skill, in which the tooltip reads "Switch Stance" Subtooltip "Switch Battle Stance to [oposite of current stance] [or two skills]
For the stances, DPS stance referred to "Fury Stance" from now on, it will also read "This will increase your damage/second output, while lowering your ability to mitigate damage" and for Tank stance "This will increase your damage-mitigation ability's, while lowering your damage/second"
The Tank Stance will give the damage resistance as per normal.
The Fury Stance will slightly raise the max atkspeed and/or remove the damage loss, while loosing the dmg mitigation ability (his normal resistance to damage will stay the same) or getting a relatively less one, and/or swapping skills such as taunt and stun. (side note: perhaps dmg mitigation is stat-controlled?
I believe this will make solo leveling as a tank actually reasonable, not taking 0 dmg and taking awhile to kill what others kill in a few seconds while taking a fair amount of damage.
This Shouldn't make the tank do as much dps as the rouge or phoenix ranger, but actually make the RG take and deal dmg relative to the creeps he should be training on.

I shall repeat this once more....

LOOK UP THE DEFINITION OF A CONCEPT IF YOU ARE UNSURE, DO NOT POST POINTLESS COMMENTS IF YOU HATE ME/DO NOT LIKE WHAT I AM SAYING, IF YOU ACTUALLY THINK ABOUT IT YOU MAY COME UP WITH A COMPROMISE, WHICH COULD BE BETTER THAN SIMPLY SCRAPPING IT

also please no sudo-comments saying "tank is good as it is noob toughen the &*$% up"

palidin remeber a royal guard is a tank not a dps making a tank/dps is just ruining the role play in the game mean u can switch when u want kinda lame coz..
then u just go in dps mode when ur hp gets down back 2 tank mode and pew u wont die kinda lame in my eyes a tank should stay a tank and a dps should stay a dps look at it like this

look at master rogue u want a tank/dps also from that coz when u make a royal a dps/tank then all others should be able 2 have that also els u get a way 2 op hero meaning a mr as a tank whit maxx atkspeed even if u make that a tank it will dps the **** out of everyone and if royal will get it all other hero';s should get it also meaning dark will have 2 remake all hero's and i doubt he will do that xD

i like the idea but its just yeah how u say this not fair compare 2 other hero's

ele lvl 999 **** u ******

if u wanna play a cot game
go find a damn bot coz i aint helping ya <3

RG is pure tank only. There will be other tanks that are hybrids, but as of right now (since this map is in beta mode) there is only the RG for tanking.
And I can tell you that the RG will stay as pure tank only.

When faced with two choices just simply flip a coin. Not because it settles the question for you, but because that one second it is in the air you suddenly know what you are hoping for.

......
did i ever say i wanted tank to be a dps? no, but im seeing now the failing of this idea, but you clearly have not read all of my suggestion, so perhaps next time read ALL of the article, dont just skim through, and dont try to interpret anything anymore, as you have clearly failed on this, i assume you fail at it in general, so you should take things more literally

Hmm owell, thanks anyway

A new character could be made instead with the same amount of effort. if you had a fury stance, the RG would have to lose some tanking abilities and/or gain some new ones. Also, you would have to give it a big CD so people could abuse it and just switch back to tanking when they got low on hp. so really, i dont think this would work. but i do like the idea if its any consolation?
