Instead of starting a new thread I'm bumping this one!! -_- but I wanna know about PvP protectors very specifically.. I like this.. I want this.. I will do this.. you cannot convince me otherwise but.. I need advice though on how to go about it..
Raise onslaught and vital stab and low blow? or just raise quick attack enough for max speed? or both? shield strike seems good but is the stun really worth it with its cooldown and short duration? Bother with the taunts at all or ignore the "prot without taunt = fail" remarks? (which I don't mind doing btw
I'll probably want some self healing and restraint rescission which I'm not too clear on what it removes exactly since I've only seen it in wikis..
If shield mastery brings block rate up to 91%.. would anything more be pretty much a waste or is there an idea behind getting over 100 block rate? I imagine 100% block rate wouldn't make you unkillable unless I'm misreading the stats and it's block def it's increasing instead of blocking success chance?
Thanks for your time!

Oh God.. okay, first thing first.

A Protector at high level only serves one single goal in PvP: stand in front of your team and be true to your name of meat shield or, be a feeder.

Protectors have nothing for PvP. No slows, no silences, no immunities, no dashes, no damage, no roots, nothing except your 3 seconds stun.

God is a lil formal, you can call me tyg for short..
Thanks.. that pretty much answers everything in a neat lil package for me.. -_-
Guess I'll be a PvE protector who participates in PvP.. so with that.. what's suggested offensively for pve besides low blow?

I can't help you on that unfortunatly. x_x

You should probably look at the Commander class if you're planning to be more offensive. o.o

I still dont get it, there is a class call Commander, and is really good at pvp, then why people still insist in build a "pvp protector" as a prot you are just a big yellow target waiting to be kill.

The same reason why some Commanders argue that 2handers in PvP are awesome.

it's doable in other games sometimes.. they don't make the tanks a 1 trick pony.. I loved the feeling of bashing someone while they barely scratched my armor.. although I'm guessing I'd have to build a commander or defensively orientated zerker or something similar to accomplish this here...
its all about balance really.. getting the maximum possible defensive capabilities and making it able to kill.. or at least help kill and occasionally kill steal in pvp lol..

Tank has better survival chance in theory than commander because of block skills. I am not saying prot is a pvp class however if that is someone's main and they like pvp it is possible to build the tank up to do so. Any character in this game can be op with the right stuff.

Protectors... They are always cool and we do love them. However... They are more or less, single use characters, exactly as their name implies.

They should be and still ARE the best tanks. But, in my eyes, that's about it. Always talking about the present not the past glories (?). In PvP I cant see that much use for a Protector, other than being a true meatshield and a distraction.

However... A high level Commander, with good gear and solid build... Can tank anything, can slice and dice anything, can be fear incarnate in PvP (well, maybe with some strategy added). What else could you ask for? Very high def, very high HPs, quite high damage, aoe and DoT skills, and a plethora of other useful skills, and, yes, ADAMANT MIND. In short, a top Commander will survive many fights and enemies and will leave many dead bodies. :)
