Can we please get aggro management back?

And Square disagrees based on how they designed the tanks in SHB. We can agree to disagree on this one, as its personal opinions.

They wanted to fix issues tehy saw, and came up with solutions that work in the short term with long term pitfalls. We can all agree on one thing though: The devs dont always get it right and some of the things they implement horribly suck.

While they dumbed down tanking to "Press x to tank", they did it at the cost of role and class identity, and from what I understood, they did it to get more people into the role (a lot like how htey tinkered with healing for the very same reason). And I dont think that it was inherently a bad idea. Yeah, making taking easy to get into and functional in casual content should be a thing. It's just instead of just doing 1 main change - No damage penalty on tank stance - and work outwards from that, they overhauled warrior and DRK in frankly stupid ways. Admittedly, PLD seems to be the only one benefitting form the new system, and GNB is fine as it's the first xpac with it. But thats because they feel like they kind of have a rotation or identity to play around, GNB the most, and a distant second being PLD.

Though I wouldnt get used to it. I hold no illusions that the devs wont come in with a wrecking ball come 6.0 and cut down tanking to 5 buttons max and neuter what playstyle and class identity GNB has.

And in Savage, Warrior utterly dominated both expansions. Even in that UCoB WF, they dropped Paladin not Warrior despite Paladin being the best prog tank due to Clemency. That alone goes to show you the sheer dominance Warrior had over the meta scene.

My understanding of Warrior Dominance stemmed from two primary factors - Damage was really good and having holmgang on a 3 Minute CD was ultra powerful for Tank busters.
