So we heard that there were not enough tanks..

Poor warriors, nobody loves them. =(

I'm guessing there are also a lot of groups that don't want any tanks in their FATE party. That's probably also a reason why they all get stacked in one party, not because there are a lot of them.

Only pansies tank with a shield to hide behind.

i love tanking but all i hear is basic " ur shit, you can't hold hate, learn ur class bla bla.. i can go one" so its not really a motivation to be a tanker.
Warrior is fun compare to paladin to be honestly.

Where are the Warriors! Oh wait........

Thats a lot of PLDs though!

EDIT: No offense to Warriors! We love you too!

No you don't.

I was leveling LNC, but when I noticed the lack of tanks, I changed myself ;p so this seems to be the case with many people.

Of the 8 people in our static BCB, we have 2 Main Tanks, Myself and a Paladin buddy. And we have 3 more people in the group with a 50 paladin, and two of those are in full Darklight. Our Drg has a 50 blm in full vanya so he can BLM it up on turn 4. Our Healer is WHM, PLD, or BLM. Basically everyone in the group has 2 or 3 50's.

In short, everyone and their mother is leveling or has leveled a tank for fast dungeon runs. But 9 out of 10 of those don't use the DF. The problem isn't a shortage of tanks, the problem is people avoiding the duty finder like the plague.

I only EVER use the DF if it's 4 AM and I logged in to do a WP and go back to sleep so I make myth cap, which I've done once in 3 weeks.

If I could get rid of the shield like it said I could in the class description, I would. :c

My BCB Group loves me on Warrior. But I have 4 Pieces of IL 90 and Full DL everywhere else with Relic. I OT on turn 1 and 2 with no problems at all. In fact I generally stay up longer than the PLD and am the last tank to die. Turn 4 wise, I pop vengeance and overpower and I can hold the adds through 2 brd and 2 blm aoe down poors.

Warrior's are fine in BCB imo. The problem is that so many warriors aren't very good and people become biased towards them overall and no one wants to run with them. I actually had a group before my static say no thanks because I was a war when they were looking for tank. I got in a static the next day and pst'd them and their like were on turn 1 wiping, ah cool, I'm a war and we are on turn 4 today... he's like "... but you a war..." 'AND?'.

War is fine, PLD and War works well together in BCB.

The ADS is the only OT Tank check in BCB and I tank that with no problem. Turn 1 is NP as well. Turn 3 is trash, Turn 4 I'm the Add OT and I hold those better than a PLD and a PLD gets the dreadnaught.

The only real problem I've seen with Warrior in BCB so far is the ADS because you need 2 silences, and that's with 0 mistakes, so you need 3 silences to allow for 1 mistake. But we run it with 2 brds and a pld atm so it works out well with me on War.

I'm also finding out how wasted Cover is on most PLD. Cover is wonderful.

People don't use it enough.

Cover is great in the right situations; the main problem with it is its range. If you're in an encounter where you have to keep whatever it is you're tanking in one spot, your ability to use Cover is primarily determined by how close your desired target feels like standing to you.
