Let's Talk Benchmark and Skills~

WAR is getting a gap closer, which is equal times cool and terrible. It's starting to feel like all tanks will have more or less the same skills.

I can sort of get your point here but you're looking at it the wrong way. A gap closer should be seen the same as Provoke, i.e. a basic tanking tool that all tanks should have. In SWTOR for example 2 of the tanks have the exact same type of gap closer move, but just because they have that doesn't matter as all their other moves are fairly unique and they have very different tanking styles.

If all tanks perform equally well by doing the same things, what's the point in there being 3 tanks?

If all tanks perform equally well in all scenarios, it means you select the one you like the most ergo having three tanks is good because they play and carry out their roles differently. Again, a gap closer move, while I can understand the homogenization sentiment, is a basic tanking tool that should be baseline across the board. Just because drk and war now have one doesn't suddenly mean the classes are the same.
