Reevaluation to Tanks Stances and Related Abilities

[Sandamar]

Everything is fine at the moment. Why would you want to kill one of the fun aspect of tanking atm ? Stance dancing is funny and requires good knowledge of the fight and the abilities to combine with CD to remove Stress on the healer.
Btw i am not pro drk but i think their highest potency combo Is the enmity one aswell no ?

All I see are more silly ways of trying to nerf WARs.
1) If your MT is anywhere close to decent, enmity as OT is no issue. If you MT is a monkey, you might have problems.
2) What stress and general problems does it cause. If anything, it gives defensive cooldowns a use outside of tankbusters.
3) As said earlier, we are moving away from base classes.
4) This is really your only fair point.

It is, but Delirium and Souleater combo off of Syphon Strike. More Syphon Strike=more Dark Arts=more damage (Dark Arts+Souleater is actually the highest potency attack).

No, it's not.
Power Slash is their highest potency WS (Not counting DA+SoulEater), but Spinning Slash is 30 less potency than Syphon Strike. So, the combined potency of Delirium combo is higher than the Power Slash combo.

Yes, I know, first of all all Dark Knights are going to deny this, lol. But I've played many Roulettes and Trials with so many other tanks. I'm a Paladin and have no problems sharing enmity with a Warrior when we have to switch off. However even with Dark Knights equal lvl or just a few below mine and I can't pull threat off them. I've exhausted my mana and TP trying to pull threat off of them. The only thing that will do it is Provoke and even then ONLY for a fraction of a second. No wonder all the servers are flooded with Dark Knights!!! If you are going to favor the new job classes, then you might as well delete the old ones...sheesh!!!!

Did they turn off grit? While DRK generate more aggro than PLD, you shouldn't have trouble pulling off them in Shield oath with Halone combo if they turn off grit.
And really, DRK has nothing on WAR on enmity generation #Unchained

MMO tanking must be dry and uninteresting at all times. No damage, no flashy moves, no options. I propose that we remove DPS stances entirely and make dps combos/cooldowns unusable while tanking. Too many tanks out there are trying to have fun.

Or we could just remove Tanks from the game entirely, and make us all DPS.

too many Tanks who want to be Tanks and not just DPS with faster Queue times.

see, ridiculous hyperbole works both ways.
