looks so funny you say that, when alexander was a huge step back compared to coil in fight desing and party mechanic all locked with just dps checks and party dances like they say for me thats akward.

and yes turtle tanks made most of the solo content, paladin was mandatory in most of this figts when the tank dps was not really need it (im speaking the dps mode not the normal one you alwais have) bcs they only survive those fights thanks to shield oatha and they defensives, plus warriors go solo tank when they have enough gear, i still remember when WAR was unable to tank the 2 dread in t4 for example.

but solo tanking was not just something that born from the begining bcs all started hardcore partys go wuth the traditional composition in every tier and a lot of raid partys go behind, solotanking and was only able when the MT have enough gear, parry was better those days.

now what we have, tanks out tank stance, only dps checks and just evade this, stack in this, all around dps, full dps mode from the begining, no challenge, just take you agro and be a dps more, tank mechanics are on the ground more than ever, the randoms cleaves from twintania, the double tanking of caudoceus, the ads, the way that MT has to mark diveboms on nael as he need to mitigate a lot, the frontal cleaves of t11, lots of damage everywere, now all is around dps dps dps dps dps o yeah cleave is coming, pop defensive dps dps dps dps yeah guys stack on that, only as3 was a real challenge.
