Also, if a DPS has a weapon 15 levels under them, a tank's being 5 under them won't make them unable to hold hate at all. lol

That being said, I do agree that Lob/Tomahawk should be 25y, and the hate jump as a fresh 50 tank is rough, I know. But triple hate on Overpower and Flash? No thanks. I do think Shield Oath should be their lvl 30 ability, and sword oath should be their lvl 40, though.

Of course, the fact is, not many people like the idea of a tank. You're the first to die if you're doing your job, and there are no "big numbers". Hell, if healers didn't have such carry potential, they'd probably be the same way. Only thing I could see changing this is adding some of the, uh, let's say "popular" jobs like Dark Knight and Samurai to the tank role. People would complain, but some people have such hard ons for those two jobs they'd play it regardless.
