Tbh it still seems pretty useful as a vanguard for unknown dungeons, especially if it's just to take aggroI can see why the class is trash in a real world if you cannot acquire specific skills.
I'm thinking this more like a rougelike than an mmo since MC have to get a certain build that he wants that can exploit this class similar to how in rougelike you get certain built to exploit the shit out of the gameI can see why the class is trash in a real world if you cannot acquire specific skills.
We haven't seen him use a single aggro drawing skill. He's mostly just shoved himself between a monster and someone else. In a fight where a party is surrounded, that's a useless tank. It forgoes most tank support options in favor of sheer defense and survivabilityTbh it still seems pretty useful as a vanguard for unknown dungeons, especially if it's just to take aggro
But yeah there's definitely a reason why there probably aren't many high-ranked ones. Still, there's no reason (so far) as to why it's considered so bad, though, since Rampart can clean up low level monsters and undead, which are requests that are nearly always in demand in these settings
Compared to Sword Saint? Sure, I'd get why people would be mad that he picked it over that, but as a general class, with randos shitting on him just because? Idk, it feels super forced to me
