Can we remove Tank Stance?

[Burningskull]

So... I have been playing tank for the last few days since they announced Gunbreaker to try and get use to tanking. I've been doing it on PLD since Gunbreaker looked like PLD without a shield. I also haven't done any high end raiding, nor do I plan to, so take this current opinion with a grain of... salt is considered a bad term now-a-days so.. Sugar?

I don't think they should remove Tank Stance.

I do however agree with an earlier poster that your DPS stance should just be tuned into your regular stance when you are not in tank stance. I also think the tank stance should be OGCD but have a cool down timer of maybe 10 - 30 seconds so you can't just pop it for an attack and then turn it back off immediately.

I also don't see a need for the damage penalty while in tank stance. You are already a tank and tend to have less potencies than DPS anyway so... And logically speaking tank stance is there to give you more hate and take less damage right? Well wouldn't hitting a mob harder make them hate you more than if you were tickling them? Although if you want to make it so you can't turn tank stance off immediately then maybe it would still need some kind of penalty to it so... who knows.

Any thoughts?
