Funny, when I made my first tank I chose A DT because my m8 was guard. And I wanted to tank with my dt, I still want to tank rather than dps, for deeps i got several other chars I play (yes I know the DT does dps always).
Anyway, The futher I got close to the top gearwise and exp wise in 6 mans and raids, the more I encounter people who seem to look at me like I'm a nab DT just because I go for the whole Being a tank with lots of STR and full plate and shield.
Oh well, fook em! I am close to full T4 geared now and recently tried tali tanking (christ the Aggro! But hard as hell to switch aggro. maybe I need more tali exp
