I think the Warrior's Combat Animations would fit well for Hammers

Exactly how I feel about Gunbreaker.

Ya gunbreaker was an odd choice for a tank. At the same time though I honestly understand the job and design choices the devs make for tanks. Since tanks are generally the most in need role the team makes flashy tank jobs to appeal to dps monkeys like me lol. If it wasn't for WAR I wouldn't even consider tanking, though this expansion I haven't really leveled it at all because I don't like the all out healing style its become. I miss my unga bunga WAR tank from ARR and HW.

WAR is still pretty unga bunga honestly. I mean sure, there might be more buttons to press but the sustain on it is stupid and if you play it well enough you can casually collect vuln stacks while still out healing the in-coming damage. You actually have to press buttons though, it's not just as simple as "I exist, therefore I tank."

Sure, to a point. I just don't like that type of design. Healers are meant to heal, not tanks. If its gonna be a tank then give it mitigation. WAR being this weird tank design of constantly healing itself is just a design I don't care for.

Hammer animations need to really feel weighty, like in GW2.

I'd personally hope for the sound effects from the Warrior's hammer skills in GW2, where each swing sounded like you were bringing down a building.

I'm sure we'll get a hammer job in the distant future though. Also wouldn't mind more hammer-like appearances for certain weapons too.

There are some old sound effects in old skills like Skull Sunder (that some npcs still use) that could work for hammer, it has that loud thonk although I can see that getting old real fast

legit how I play warrior these days in normal content because the only mechanic I respect is the ones that can kill me after 6 dummy stacks.

I mean, WAR had Bloodbath back in ARR/HW so is it really any different than now?

Small things like bloodbath or second wind are fine for emergencies, but WAR's kit is so loaded now with healing that they can heal to full repeatedly. I just don't think a tank should be like that.

[Saimeren]

I would love a DPS job that plays like WAR. I love WAR's animations, but I hate that its a tank.

Just turn your tank stance off. Problem solved.
