Should PLD and WAR get gap-closers at 70?

[Ultimatecalibur]

Tanks are expected to lead dungeon runs. and yet they are the *least* mobile class by a wide margin, drk just slightly less than the other two.

A gap closer is not a mobility increase its actually a mobility limiter. The Paladin is currently the most mobile class in the game with proper use of Tempered Will.

Usable Harpoons (i.e. Holmgang without the bind) are actually better for tanks than gap closers as the ability to position enemies is more important than the ability to get to a target faster.

In theory that sounds nice. the truth is that in most cases using it like that is a strict dps loss. Its anti knockback/gap closing property is very secondary to it's primary function as a secondary dps cooldown. It could really shine in an OT role if drk had other tools that made it an attractive OT, but that isn't the case atm.

I really wish the Tank meta wasn't so DpS obsessed. It is rather saddening to see utility abilities used more for a ~7 potency per sec increase rather than their actual utility.

I can both agree and disagree with this, I guess it all depends on how you look at it.

I've wished for the longest time that they'd separate the harpoon effect from the rest of holmgang and give it a lower CD timer. I'd say "we can only hope for 4.0", but that would only further help WAR's already very good utility situation. :/

I wish that went for all classes. So many great stun opportunities are wrecked by everyone using their stuns on CD for the dps increase.

This I can agree with. but it's the same for all classes really. can't tell you how many times I've tried to stun something and.

This.

Sadly DPS is the only thing that ever matters. healing and mitigation are both total jokes. hence even healers spend 95% of there time doing dps.....

more to the op's topic though don't really need a gap closer but I do wish tempered will had a lower cooldown
