How tanking feels post ShB patch

[Valmarus]

To be short, I mained a tank since HW and I love the change. It feels like a QoL change. I also like being in compete control of emnity along with the OT or MT in harder content.

I guess it feels like a QoL change because I would always try to dps as a tank anyway and felt emnity some times got in the way of me maximizing (ie going back into tank stance and doing emnity combo when dps got too close on the hate bar).

I'm not trying to be rude or funny so please don't read that sort of tone into what I am about to say:

If you want to focus on DPS more than emnity the I have to ask why not just play a DPS? Why play a role where your job should be focusing on taking/mitigating damage and holding focus? If this is the attitude of the majority of people tanking in the game then why not just do away with the idea of a tank all together? I feel like it's going to boil down to the question of - If they don't play differently then why have them at all?
