If some nuker deals bigger damage all mobs runs away from blader.How to make that bladers could be more useful in party?Do they have some skills like warriors to atract monsters?
P.S. most of the peaple say that they r the best Tankers but it doesnt look like..(or maybe they r talking about solo tanking or something?)

Chinese chars are not as dependant upon prtying like euro chars....so yes bladers are solo tankers....as for nukers welcome to the slow lvling world of bladers. You might not die but you also do the lowest damage of the chinese builds and are the easiest to ks.
If its a spear nuker/glaiver try usin kd to save your kills from them...s/s sry your out of luck

Depends on how you would see it. As I mention on other thread, every classes/build has its own good and bad and that's applies to blader too. In this case, blader is weak in damage but in return having more def, making it long-lasting, less chances of dying and such.

Worthless? Tell me pls behind who INT's hide in guild wars? Specially spear? Bladers ofcourse...while they taking all damage from marcenaries and other plyers, army of spear comes from behind and kills all and everything.
Also...be a blader is good at thiefing, or trading. Before hunter kills you, you can teleport to bandit den.
Bladers are support characters...they are not for killing. But if have good blade, shield, gear...you can kill

The chinese are made for party play.
And as i could see monsters now go more on warriors, so on tankers then attacking the one who deals the highest damage.

bladers can inflict impotence weakening and bleed status on pt giants making it quicker for nukers to kill. i know s/s can do this too but wat for when they can nuke.

Bladers cant hold agro, pure and simple.

that is because sro doesnt have a threat system in place(for chinese chars) but a blader has everything a tank needs.
fast attacks
low damage
shield
high all around defence
lots of hp
causes high threat
a blader has all of those, except the threat part, which is howwever the most crucial part of being a tank.
