I hope that wasn't meant as a sarcastic remark, if it was then you should realize that a warr is designed to be a ::gasp:: tank. It's the reason why they have such high armor and a large variety of defensive skills. Your statement to me is like asking a monk to use only monk skills to heal, but ::gasp again:: we can! >.>

Oh and by the way assassins aren't designed to tank that's why everyone says they're not suppose to. >.>

Assassins don't tank silly.
Didn't you get the memo and starter kit containing a bow, staff, and scepter?

my bloody point was to have some f**king fun, i wasnt proving anything, it was never to prove anything just to have some fun. I know there not supposed to stand around and take a beating, i know that assasins arn't tanks, leave that alone ffs.

Have any of you thought to think WHY its called an assassin. It's because its not meant to be seen, its meant to kill and be secretive xD

Bonetti's Defense and Defensive Stance, hmmmmmm...

Listen if you're gonna run an assassin/warrior with defensive skills just do Auspicious Parry, instead of clutter up your skillbar with that trash >_>

Ok im going to be the first to actually see this thread for what it is and actually say this:

lol, thats pretty funny

Dont all you other wammos have a life rather than bashing somebodys fun time. I mean, my god, look at the experiments IGN. I thank god everyday that all of you (Amity aside) dont design this game, or having fun or trying new things would be non-existant.

This seems a rather pointless argument. The question that needs to be asked, rather than 'Can assassins tank?' is 'Why would an assassin want to tank?'

For the record, tanking with a ritualist and defiant was xinrai is a laugh...

I don't think Assassin's can tank using strictly Assassin skills. No way. Every Assassin that I've had in my party that THOUGHT he was a tank ended up being the first one dead AND they end up dead over and over and over again.
