I think alot of people are going to start saying omg! all these stun abilities with no cool downs!..... Remember its not a cooldown circling hotbar system. most of the attacking will come from your mouse left click with holding down left click for power attacks. these hot bar abilities are kinda more like bonuse abilities and use stamaina. it looks like the abilities with stun cost alot of stamina and have lower damage. Also some are not instant and have cast timers, you should be abl to see these attacks coming so you should be able to block them. Also i remember them saying blocking attacks like that will then stun the attacker is most cases.

Great info and there is lots more out there ;)

Great to get the info on Taunting via Sword and Board & add that to the taunting via Sorcerer's summon spell lines... we can answer all the how do tanks work threads now!

Hopefully the taunting works in PVP by forcing soft lock onto the "taunter"... i cant remember who made that suggestion a while ago but i think it is the best one yet and would be great to implement in pvp to add some tanking to pvp without CD

Yeah I'm glad there won't be any endless CC chains, a little CC here and there is cool, and it seems like thats what ZOS is going for.

Defensive Posture – unlocks rank 20
instant – self – 36 stamina – no cooldown
- while slotted, increase armor and spell resistance by 80 and decrease damage by 8%

^^^ So... It takes up a slot on the quickbar, but it's effect sounds passive? 'while slotted' hmm??? it says instant and has a stamina cost, but it doesn't say how long the effect lasts? this seems like a mistake or something...

Sounds like I'll be using Puncture and low slash a lot...

This is awesome. Can we have Dragon Knight info now? :D :D :D

Considering the only class with a dedicated 'tanking' tree from the hands on is Dragon Knight (so 3 tankish trees rather than 2), I will be playing that...

That said however, it's cool that every class seems to have something to add to the table for tanking... Did you see the Templar's 'light shield' ability?!

and yes, I am curious to see Sorceror tanks... I think they would make amazing OT's because of AoE damage and the summon may make them great for large pulls...

I haven't seen dragon knight skills yet up close, no one who played dragon knight in the early stages talked about any actual "taunting" mechanisms though (from what i heard anyways), only grappling hook and bashes etc...

I havent seen light shield skill from templar?? , i saw a list of templar abilities bud didnt see any taunt style skills in it, Will be interesting to see as it develops further!

If you can give me more information about dragon knight skills that would be awesome! I am very keen to hear about taunting / tanking skills
