My only complaint is that this means we now have 4 tanks that all primarily deal slashing damage and only 1 of them actually use a shield.

I was hoping for something that dealt piercing damage like say a pike+towershield or pull another monster hunter collab and give us a gunlance setup. Or go the route of blunt damage with a mace/Warhammer + shield or 2 handed warmaul or the magitek hammer we've seen in game.
