Tanks and SOM

Did I miss the memo or something, why is all the tanks using SOM these days?

Granted I am just coming back to the game what did miss ....I got no email or memo on why all the DA (tanks) are carrying SOM.

On my server its more expensive the DLE

I guess the SA as something to do with it

because they have a mage subclass?

ah......wow don't I fell stupid

Of course when I left I guess there wan't alot of tank sub at A grade

The robe textures on tanks usually looks like light armor too which doesn't help.

dont forget, SK gets quite a variety of magical attacks, so a Battle Mage setup isnt exactly unheard of. I know a few SKs that use this setup to devistating effect in pvp.
