Should swashbucklers be given rescue or tumble? I know they have taunt for aggro redirection, but it always seems like my taunt is just causes the opponent to hit my allies harder.:roll: Tumble makes sense since a swashie is suppose to be a nimble fighter. and giving them just rescue would probably make them squashie.

I like the idea of giving them both rescue and tumble. It gives them the ability to move about the formation in combat.

Well, the problem with giving swashies tumble is that they're pretty much useless from the second/third row. If anything, giving them rescue would be thematically nice. I know that swashies are not competitive in PvE compared to mercs/barbs or even paladins because of the lack of rescue, but I don't know if a buff in both PvE and PvP is in order for them (which rescue definitely would be).

I've think tumble seems more appropriate for their skillset.

With no means of getting to the front row, they become worthless.

Can't you tumble with someone front row?

tumble puts you behind the person targeted. If you could tumble in front, that would be great and thematic for swashies.

Tumble in front... isn't that rescue?

I know, still would be cool if they had the option to do either.

Just change tumble to switch places with the target? It would wreck formations but why not?
