Silly tank melds

[Lewtskie]

Because I come from WoW, I do have a more traditional philosophy on tanking, especially with how Blizzard has been handling tanking the past few expansions with active mitigation, or "do more to prevent more". That's why I like paladin so much, because it incentivizes use of Holy Spirit while tanking to give you more mitigation through Sheltron.

Seen a couple old WoWers share some grievances in that; it's weird. 3.x tank really were just Bruisers more than Tanks, and the Tank Stance was treated more as just another mitigation c/d that you threw up for busters. The only one really with aggressive mitigation then was WAR with their sustain and that was better served through Deliverance. It's all different now, though.
