Bigger and better incentives for tanks

[Alberel]

The only way to increase tank popularity is to make tanks more fun... right now both tanks just spam the same combo over and over again to build enmity.

It also doesn't help that neither of the tanking jobs have access to their actual tank stance until 30 (for warrior) and 40 (for paladin). This makes tanking prior to these levels somewhat frustrating as people pull mobs off you far too easily in any multi-target encounter and puts a lot of players off completely after just a few dungeons.

For me personally, i dont find tanking fun at all. Not because its bad or boring in this particular game, but in general your there just to have something hit you and not the others in the group.

I dont like getting hit in the first place, but being there only to prevent damage to others is quite boring. I find there is almost no reason to level a tank class at all. Even if i could flip a switch and generate a brand new 50 tank on the spot, i still would not have any desire to actually play that tank.

Maybe for PLD this is true. For my WAR I use enmity combo once and then I'm applying SP, SE, and Fracture. Toss in the occasional Steel Cycle/Overpower for multiple mobs.

On a boss it's Tomahawk, SP combo, Unchained, Berserk, Fracture, then BB combo till Pacification (with a Brutal Swing and Flash in there if healer doesn't remove debuff) and then back to applying SP, SE, and Fracture as needed.

Playing WAR is fun. More people should do it.
