Ok that makes more sense then, in meltdown I’ve always felt tanky

@MeltedCow Attikus is already very much an off-tank. He has an odd role as a skirmisher assassin with off-tank capabilities. If you want to increase his tanking, use his helix options for DPS (with the exception of Dampening Field and Hedronic Regeneration, some of his top helix options) and use his gear for survivability. I still recommend having at least one piece of gear be a mobility item, no matter what other items you pick

I always found he fits his disruptor Brawler tags perfectly to be honest

I don’t think they fit at all. A disruptor has lots of skills that interrupt or cancel enemy skills (Attikus has one, and it’s better used for escaping or slowing enemies so you can kill them), and brawlers have lots of survivability options and lots of CC (Attikus doesn’t have much of either).

However, Attikus has an AMAZING mobility skill, two DPS skills, and very, very, VERY high DPS… so he’s a skirmisher assassin.

Well to me tags are combined, he disrupts because you can go in battle, activate discharge and everyone will not want to be near you, as they don’t want to be hit, later this gives you stuff to disrupt and scare off enemies even more, pounce SHOULD hey the stun back, but late game you can get in effectively to stop an enemy and even kill them, also his ult IMMEDIATELY makes people want to get away from his, basically a brawlruptor

yup, yup! he absolutely disrupts enemy positions (a la Pouncing on snipers) as well as disrupts enemy kills by just by charging at the enemy. Oh! that makes me think… what if Attikus had a helix option where his sprinting off-hand melee animation was changed to him charging with his horns, and it knocks-up enemies if they get hit?

That’s actually a pretty damn cool idea, 8 sec cooldown perhaps

i agree, it would have to have a cooldown, or it would be more than slightly OP. 8 seconds seems a little long for an alt-melee skill, but then again it’s a VERY short cooldown for a hard CC. seems reasonable

Damage 100 perhaps too

Attikus is a character that severely lacks survivability. You are up for frustration if you decide to tank with him. I wouldn’t recommend him for pvp at all.

Recently, I wanted to experience that tank playstyle and Attikus was my first choice (mainly because of the Lightning in his skill which goes well with my name…)

Every single player would focus fire on me… newbies and experienced players alike. It didn’t matter if there was a healer right in front of them and I was all the way back.
Also, that leaping skill is unreliable for a getaway. At lot of times when I used it, i would get stuck somewhere I didn’t aim to land.

I played around 65-70 matches with this character until I had enough. I went for Boldur next and my experience changed for the better. Boldur is my main right now.

Attikus cant tank because he dosent have a way to mitigate dmg like: galilea and her shield or montana and his damsge reduction or boldur the bastard child of galilea and montana who has a shield and damage reduction.

I tried to give attikus all life steal from helix and gear,it was the worst idea ever. Expensive gear and bad helix options, it also make you use his skills in a bad way.

@RayLightning Sounds about right. You really have to push him to the very limits of what his character is capable of doing to succeed with him… you need to learn when and how to use his skills as effective as possible to use them properly (looking at you, Pounce) and master and theory craft his helix to oblivion and back. Once you realize Attikus is not a tank and never will be a tank, you’ll succeed with him a bit better. Like I said, off-tank skirmisher assassin. His large health pool is used to help him fight high DPS characters and survive, not to let him stand in lane and get focus-fire to keep his teammates safe.

That was more likely my mistake. I built and played him as a “tank” with damage reduction and regen gear. Maybe as a dps hit and run type he can do better. I doubt it though. Unless it’s an Attikus with insane attack speed like this guy lol
