GNB is my favorite tank (picked it up once they destroyed DRK in ShB) but my cotank was already playing it, so I didn't have much choice. Just give me HW or StB DRK back...Paladin getting reworked made it almost as boring as Warrior. I guess anything is better then how low the bar of warrior gameplay is but PLD in it's current state is the reason why I quit being a tank main and played DPS, No point in tanking if it's really bad slow Melee dps with very simple rotations. Without much unique gameplay quirks to offer.
No surprise how DRK's getting far worse after the PLD changes, because if any tank has any slight difference in gameplay (like higher apm) it's got to be equalised, While I wasn't a fan of DRK it's high APM kept it at a little more interesting.
This, I've already switched over to gunbreaker having way more fun playing. But honestly I hope alot of us do drop playing tanks (Outside of Drk, Dragoon was my other favourite FF class, probably will switch to that, although not looking forward to how much they are gonna suck after the rework) Then when the queue time is so egregious the devs will maybe have to actually do something, like fix their trash tank design.
Which will most likely be their usual approach to the support roles, doubling down, making them even more failure proof and braindead to play, because that's what they've already been doing to increase player numbers for tanks and healers since Shadowbringer.
