    If all anyone can come up with is little nitpicks here and there then they've done a fairly decent job IMO. Everyone wants a little more seasoning, a little extra sauce, but the dish is perfectly edible as prepared. Chill.
    This.

    Tanks are in their most balanced state defensively, offensively, and support skills than at any time in the history of the game WHILE adding a 4th tank. That is already quite a feat. By most accounts pld and gun are fun, well designed classes. Drk, (as is expected with overhauls) has mixed reviews as old guard doesnt like change but many newer drks seem to be enjoying it. Wars in a similar boat, but both are still functional. We could see some tweaks here and there, sure but theres no crisis.

    Compare some of the most repeated complaints. Nascent flash is clunky. War doesnt synergize with party buffs well. Drk 5x bloodspiller spam is lame copypasta. Tanks are a little to 'ez'. Tank damage contribution with other roles is low (separate from balance within the role which is great).

    Compare those to previous expantions. Drk is trash and useless(SB). Pld is trash and useless (HW). War is OP as Fidge(HW/SB). War is utter trash and cant even tank raids (2.0). Pld has obscene unfair levels of utility with good dps, and personal mitigation (SB).

    The tanks are in a relatively amazing position with only minor gripes compared to the dramatic balance issues of the past where 1 tank was always dramatically op and 1 was flat out worse at most things or everything. Most of the complaints today are about 'clunky' this and 'clunky' that. Those are subjective preferences. The core of the tank role is really REALLY solid accross all tanks. Im quitting cuz se hates tanks! And all this rage because X tank didnt get someminiscule tweak sound really childish when you look at the big picture. Try some perspective people.
