Warrior is OP! Paladin is OP! Make one tank class and be done with it....

[Gilcris]

Okay, one class wields a two-handed weapon and conservatively deals twice the DPS of the other class (a good deal more if it doesn't have defiance up and is just choppin').

One class is depicted in FMVs, stylization, ability names/description, the Yoshi interview in the other thread, etc, as a carefree-cleaver, pirate, barbarian badass. The other class is iconically depicted as a sword & board, traditional tank themed around shiny armor and protecting comrades.

Now, thus far, most people (sans the most voracious of self-disparaging Marauder tryhards) seem to concede Warriors can actually still tank anything they're intended to tank just fine. Instead, a week or two after the game's release, the "Tank Roles" section of the forum is saturated with people raging that they can't skip a tier of gear with the more offensively-flavored tank and stand on perfectly even footing with the defensively-flavored tank in content that is missing the segeue to it?

Do continue.
