SE it's time for A new Job Please. (Tank)

ofcourse personal preference is everything. I pretty much said the same thing as you but with less limitations. I play classes because I like the class, not necessarily the role. Your saying that people dislike the role in general which is understandable. In the middle somewhere, people would play the class because it appeals to them regardless of role. If they made a more glass-cannon type tank, or an evasion based higher dps tank, people would play.

Also, why level a class to not play the fun content? you would solo (fate grind?) to 50 and not do any true multiplayer content with it? To each his/her own, but that doesn't make much sense to me, esp that the tank is the most group centric role.

My general play style doesn't fit the overall concept of a Tank. I'm a player who prefers being in the back, supporting the team, either through heals, buffs or debuffs. I typically play tamer class characters, so I usually always have a Minion to fall on for my damage while I throw out full support. Being right there in the middle of fight is too much for me, which is why I prefer Mage and Magic based classes since they always support my play style. Tank in general is something I would not enjoy playing so only reason I'd have one is if it were a Disciple of Magic, but I wouldn't use him outside of self gratification.
