Is Tanking Boring?

[Thela]

Gekko and kasha have positionals and as mentioned the aoes are either the conal iajutsu or combos centered around the samurai.

Ah yeah Gauge increase for hitting those, but no dps loss (well not directly anyway) if you don't unlike most other positionals. The AoE's i don't really think that matters a whole lot in this discussion. As long as you're looking at your target it will hit regardless if its the cone or the circle.

I find the tanking boring, because : dps cycle is too easy, and also because the cycle of CDs is just too easy too.
I mean, when you know your CDs, you just have to it and wait until the next time you need it.
I think it would be funnier if the DRK, just for exemple, get a lot of short CDs like TBN but has to play with those CDs instead of Rempart.

Well if the dps cycle was overly complex would be a bit unfair no? i mean sure, it could be more fun that way (for some people) but it's hardly the direction to take tanking when we already have a shortage of tanks.

For me personally, I don't find tanking boring per se. But i would like it if they engaged both tanks more on encounters, mechanics that requires both tanks to contribute to solve. We already have some of those, but majority of encounters if you are not actively tanking you are just a slightly worse version of a dps. Perhaps a more engaging tanking experience if they lowered the cooldown of provoke and forced tank swaps more often.
