A PSA to all upset tank players

[Leigaon]

Each expansion I decide to try to take up a new role and learn more about it. 4.0, before I read anything, was my tanks turn. I was going to take up PLD b/c that was the under-dog, then people cried WAR

So I took up the G.Axe, I got to say I'm really enjoying it. Though I'm not connected in the old ways of tanking I simply used it blindly to get through roulettes for quick tomes. This time, I'm actually trying..

I see a lot of things about Enmity / TP issues as WAR. I'm not having nearly as hard of a time, sure I have my moments but I need to actually try. Maybe that's why I'm having fun.

PLD I just geared up and set up my hotbar, it feels the exact same to me except I can't sheltron every 30s. PLD doesn't feel like it was hit at all by the gauges. Looks cool though at least. With the exception of the 4 oGCD, It feels like it did at 50 for me now.

Yeah I put my 2 cents in that thread. I basically said by returning tank damage calculation to STR, the DPS disparity between tanks and DPS will only increase, and the more DPS decreases, the more aggro will decrease and that I don't enjoy having to spam Butch'ers Block..

Are we talking strictly about EX trials and future savage content? I'm just curious, I try not to jump only to certain points. Like I couldn't comment on how bad things would be at 70 as others say, so I always made a point saying I'm not 70. I'm now 70 and still am not having the issues in the dungeons. I plan to make time for Ex trials this weekend, is that where I'll actually start to use BB a bit more? Right now I barely use it at all.

...at the same time it shows what some people are starting to think of WAR tanks.

This is what makes it spread, are threads where someone reads something is bad but wasn't really given a shot.
"Warrior is horrible now!"
"why?"
"b/c some guy on a you-tube video said so and posted so on reddit."
"...the internet doesn't lie."

At least when I linked to Xeno's video, I did it because, as I stated before, I don't play WAR, nor do I claim to understand how WAR works, and Xeno is the best WAR I've seen...

I actually wasn't referring to the Xeno person, but it seems to have sparked something so that's at least good. There's always a person on you-tube who has an opinion and gets the hive-mind going. So pointing to an individual person? No. If you took at as a personal shot at that person, that's more of a real life personal issue but that's okay I can see how it could have been taken in the other light.

I'm sure that person is an excellent warrior, but I'm allowed to come to my own conclusions rather than join the hive-mind. I know "We came to these conclusions of our own free will" ...I'm sure you have, as have all the tempered seem to think so.

In the end you need to experience it yourself to see where these problems are, or if they're even problems to begin with. Enmity / TP / the use of the new moves, all of these I held my tongue and listened as I leveled Warrior.

I'm 70 now, I haven't ran into this issue to make it a huge deal. If I did, and here's the kicker the part 90% of the player base refuses to admit, it's b/c of me the user! And gasp you should little one! Mess up with a duty of my role and instead of blaming the system I..work on it? How dare I!

So now I tell myself, lets finish off the last little bit. Lets to take some EX trials! If I can get through the trials and beyond without all these concerns coming back to me as others have voiced their concerns about how "Trashy" it is? Then it makes me question whether it's the system or the player.

Then again, I may jump to EX and hit the wall like the others. I can't say, so I hold these negative opinions open for what I haven't experienced. To not go through it yourself and just agree? I can't do that. Sorry!

Unchained being on the same cd for IR is kinda dumb, and people haven't been happy about that.

I will admit that's the one thing that makes me a sad panda, was using it and going "My eyes glow..red..like the rest of my body" only to know I won't be using it very much. They could do something like have it give certain perks depending on your stance to give more of a bloodbath type of move and unhook it from Unchained, or maybe that's way too powerful?
