My two cents.

@OP This isn't World of Warcraft - if you want to play that PvP, exactly as you are laying it out here, go back to WoW.

Go back to WoW? I wouldn't wish something like that on my worst enemy!
Rude!

I haven't got around to trying PvP yet, and its not something Im too bothered about but,

Has any tank tried to unequip their soulstone and equip dps cross class abilities to give them an edge ?

Or has anyone thought about leveling up an alt tank and pouring all their points into str and making it a dps tank ?

As I said, I haven't touched it yet so I don't know if thats viable or not.

I have a WAR that is statted to 30 on strength. I'm usually the last up, but that is likely because of the kill order most strategies employ. I'm not the best PVPer, but I can tell you that WAR and likely MRD are PVP beasts. Hard to kill, a few stuns and movement debuffs once you get the cross class stuff, and hitting pretty hard without Defiance on. My main role, most of the time, is to bother the healer and keep them locked down.
I haven't even tried as marauder yet, but I can see it being badass with all the cross class abilities (a few of which are ranged with debuffs!) Also gonna throw on a Raise ability because when the first member of my party goes down, I'm never the next target...

While I personally haven't tried PvP yet, I assume once people start getting access to the PvP specific abilities and gear that it'll seem less like 2 PvE groups going against each other.
