Tanks are fine (show your support so they don't change them)

Who's suggesting removing Tank Stances lol?

All we tanks want is our damage back. Bring back VIT scaling damage. we're sick of losing aggro to dps and it will only get worse as better gear is introduced.

I'm in tank stance 99% of the time, so I have no issue.

I only drop it on DRK when I need MP (WHM Holy Spam stopped my Blood Price MP Regen).

I am happy, very happy, with WAR mechanically. It has room for improvement, it always wil, but the Beast Gauge is a great foundation. But I do agree that stat-wise it's a bit of a mess. Tenacity with actual weight to it, damage scaling with VIT or VIT increasing aggro generation would be the best things ever.

As a WAR you are a dirty traitor...

So I just learned STR accessories are BiS for tanks again. Hmmm... we've gone back in time!

Im using these too! Having a full set of ilvl270 STR accessoriers as tank raises their damage a whole lot! I wont change to worthless VIT till they fix that >_>

As a DRK I don't get why some people are getting their black leather panties in a twist <.<

Sure they trimmed the fat a bit, and they over-nerfed Dark Passenger needlessly, but, the class is still the DRK I've always known and loved and they get the job done just fine. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

tanks need to deal damage to keep threat/hate/aggro. a Drk uses their soul eater combo to help healer through self curing, as well as to build bloodgage and to help keep up their mp.

The reason people don't tank as for popularity is the mentality of some of the player base on here. Only need to read stories about new tanks not being able to learn their craft being DPSer rushing off and pulling more mobs than the new tank can handle. If you want more Tanks available in this game it isnt skills sets or moves that are causing it, it is literally the players themselves.

Until the mind sets are reset and we all work together DF will ALWAYS have long queues because tank players will only tank for those they get on with and trust.

i lost count lately how often my g/f had to leave/ got vote kicked recently from dungeons. she a good tank, yet ppl are being rude. One sch was pulling ahead of her in dusk vigil claiming he outgeared for the dungeon. during her first SB dungeon she drained herself from panic spam of unleash from the first set of mobs (the boat dungeon), and this rdm and sch just heckled her as they pulled her mp was zero. She tried to communicate, but they didn't care and kicked her.

she even got vote kicked outa a dungeon fir being surprised a healer drain mp after 2 pulls. :/

I am surprised they would vote kick a tank considering how rare tanks are becoming. Well take solace that they probably waited forever for another tank to appear, if one ever appeared.

Not really. No reprisal procs, low blow procs, scourge, shadow skin, dark dance, delirium. There's no debuffs or oGCD abilities. That's a a lot to lose. Also, why did PLD get to keep all their shit? DoTs, shield procs, etc.

Tenacity is broken/bugged and doesnt do anything, DRK lost about twice as many abilities as they gained AND was slowed down a lot, BiS items are from Heavensward. Yes, everything well-designed there, buddy!
