I would have preferred to have back a variety of oGCDs to press for my APM, as per Heavensward DRK, but DRK has easily become the least interesting tank of the four for me with the removal of DA, Attack Speed on BW, the ability to turn mass-pulls against weak mobs into a no-healable field of carnage, and most of its CD-synergies.Quote:

One could say GNB is now the counterpart to DRK, because he has a def skill which is based on parry and 10% flat dmg reduction, but i am not a fan of this skill because its only a 50/50 if it parry's or doesn't, but he only has this 1 skill and drk has 2 which only deal with magic.Quote:

Either they are more consequent with the ideology of "magic def tanks"/"phys. def tanks"(in making 2 tanks phys.def tanks and 2 magic def tanks) or they completely abolish it.
Yes i am a bit nit-picky on this :o
