Lets stop fighting SE and work with them. What are your ideas?

I personally think active mitigation and constant damage WoW has would be fun.

As a gameplay element of a single tank class, sure. As the basis for all tank gameplay, no thanks. I hung up my sword and shield when Blizzard forced-fed that turd sandwich to prot warriors during Mists ("oh it worked so well for Death Knights that we're making everyone play like them"), and I don't want to have to give up tanking for the same reason here.

The only solution to have SE and the player base happy i think its just remove the tank stance damage penalty, allowing us to keep the DPS and being tanky at the same time.

But idk why its not a popular idea over here.

At that point you'd have to entirely remove stances. At most, WAR would probably keep theirs since they can then truly be a class that is mechanically dependent on stances (as opposed to now, where the only reason stance dancing is a thing is because "muh deeps").

I'm not opposed to the idea, but it really is terra incognita.
