agreed, imho pikeman just slightly edge out jedi for main tank in a group. we can do more damage to hold aggro, and have some nice debuffs to go with area attacks and sweeps. tanking isnt just taking damage, its keepingdamage focusedon you. mtk is nice for taunt pulls off of your group members as well.

yea agreed but Mpike/TKM isnt bar behind which is nice
the only benefit i see for having a jedi mdefender tank over a tkm/mpike/4000doc is the jedi has the emergency AI button. Much better to waste the 1k force than to let people heal you and get agro, then incap.... creates a mess of groups sometimes... Other than that the best tank would be mdefender with FA and aura running... nearly 800 melee defense let alone capped armor.
However, my regular spin group always has a pikeman/tkm/4000doc... Aekd and ae warcry is just so nice

yes but a m def hitting AI 2 times and having his FA on will get his force down so fast, so the group will have to wait for him to fill his force again and again after the lairs..WE mpike/tkm and doc xxx4 s never have that problem, we can tank faster...and u dont need a mdef to tank all the time...any pre-cu jedican tank the groups..with their precu sabers or pearls they outdmg all ...all u need to do is heal him a little and area KD...when u area KD when u first start the lair, the mobs will be dead be4 they stand up again...thats what we do in our guild groups when we have a precu jedi in the group...

I think they mean that their sabers are pre-cu. pre-cu sabers are much better than ones made post-cu
