SHB itself is fantastic, but I'm not at all convinced on many of the combat changes

Yeah when i was setting up my tanks i was shocked that they all pretty much had identical keybinds, and the exact same defensives

they homogenized the tanks way too much i think

Tank main here leveling both DRK and GNB through Shadowbringers. Was a WAR main and only dabbled with PLD in the previous expansion. I'm just not seeing what you're seeing given that the Tanks were pretty "homogenized" in that they all had, generally, the same fundamental setup from the previous expansion. All they did was prune skills that literally no one used across each of the classes--save for a few exceptions.

All a Tank is supposed to do is hold aggro and mitigate damage, which they are able because they all have access to the roughly the same mitigation. However, the mitigation tools that align themselves with their class' identity has their own gimmicks. Aside from that, I can say with absolute clarity that DRK does not play like WAR and GNB does not play like either of those two.

Its just people adding to the echo chambers that haven't played the Jobs. GNB is different from any tank I've ever played in any MMo.
