It's not about the "interesting". It's about majority of people preferring to not feel responsible for when bad things happen. Tanks also dont stand out. You either live through it or the group wipes. Sadly, the only ones who understand the importance of tanking well are tanks.

i quite like tanking.. while i may not be a great tank I'm not bad and i always run the instance a few times with a dps class first and watch how a tank does it .. but with the constant rage quitting healers and the toxic community . not to mention the ninja pulling dps I've encountered .. I've given up and stuck to my dps classes

Some FATE party has 6 out of 8 members as tank.

I hate to say it, but the only time I've actually liked tanking was in Wrath. Warrior and Death Knight tanking was so fun. It was very easy yes , but I really enjoyed it, it was the only time I actually felt comfortable tanking.

The rest of the time, and in other games, I just heal, its less stressful, and less micromanagement.

I would say the thing I hate the most about tanking is tabbing through enemies doing my threat combo on em to make sure aggro is held. If AoE aggro was easier to manage I would tank alot more, but I dont want them to "dumb it down" if other people are actually enjoying it.

Fixed that for ya...as dps are never in the wrong in DF groups. :rolleyes:

As a tank in this game, I think that even if SE made the tanks and healers what DPS think is more interesting, people still would not play them. Healers and tanks have responsibility and most people hate that.

Lower global cooldown for tanking classes would be a nice touch as it makes the game feel more dynamic and less restrictive when it comes to holding aggro and doing combos. With the long gcd you really don't have any options what to do when tanking because the global forces you to use those AOE threat abilities like overpower and flash extensively in order to keep aggro. It gets very boring quickly when you know you could do it without them if it only weren't for the gcd. Default lower global could possibly draw players to try out tanking classes since they're "different".

This is the reprecussion of having 4 man parties. 50/50 dps to tank + healer ratio... There is a reason why EQ had 6 man parties. I assume the devs thought 4 man parties would be more casual as they required less players... but honestly all your doing is making it more noticeable when one of your dps sucks, making it more hardcore imo.

They really need to rethink the dps:tank ratio... maybe they should start to make dungeons 1 tank, 1 healer, 6 dps for 'casual dungeons' and 2/2/4 for harder ones.

you join a group as tank with no BRD and you are at 5% MP and group wants you to pull 3 groups of mobs so they can AOE them down .....

DPS long que because they ask dumb things.

bad idea . then it would be harder for me to get group as tank , If its harder to get group as tank I would roll DPS class.
