Mabinogi: Swordmaster in RvR
There are two main schools of thought about a tanks job in RvR. Some players of Mabinogi think tanks should stand in the back, as far as possible to protect therapists, and other players think tanks are attacking the front-line fighters who should be responsible to the other player groups and was defeated. This is our personal view, standing behind and trying to protect healer is a waste. There is no mechanic to force a player to attack you and you have no way to remove CC from another person. Nearly every class in war has ample methods, if a healer gets attacked by a melee class, and rebuffed before you can even blink.
At best you can snare the attacker or if you have an ironbreaker, knock them down for a short amount of time and hope the healer can get away. Although chances are the healer is being focus fired, so it probably will not do much good anyway. If we are forced to stand back a tank class (Mabinogi Gold), although therapists, it will be an ironbreaker. They have done so; they have more tools than the same sword master.
Let us say then, for the sake of argument that a Sword master role in RvR is to act as a front line assault element. Their high mitigation and ability to spec for very respectable damage makes them very, very deadly in this role. With proper healing, a Sword master can charge into a full war band of destruction and take them all out one by one without risk of dying. Without healing, they can still survive long enough to create an opening that the rest of the Order players can exploit. We provide Mabinogi online gold for you.
