How to make tanks more fun to play (devs please read)

[therpgfanatic]

I don't know about if Warriors are more fun.

What I know for a fact is I have to play Paladin in a way that it's not really designed to be played. In an eight man if I don't spam Rage of Halone I can't maintain aggro on bosses. If I try to do any other combos I end up losing threat. It's a particular problem as an off-tank, because I sometimes cannot generate enough burst threat to pull an add off DPS, like in Garuda. I know this is the case for other Paladins because I've read enough discussions about the matter.

I am pretty sure none of the other classes need to spam their finisher move and forsake the majority of their skill list in to do their jobs. Paladins are not right.

And then if I need to stun I basically cannot do anything but auto-attack and stun, since if I try to attack the boss he will nearly always start his casting when my global cooldown has just started.

If you don't play a tank and think everything is great due to philosophical beliefs like "tanks dont dps" then you really have no understanding of the things I'm talking about. And perhaps things are fantastic if you're at the top of the gear tier, but most players aren't going to invest hundreds of hours into playing in order to finally have fun.

I've been down this road a few times in other MMOs. I know the devs will eventually make improvements because they want players to enjoy the game, but it'll only happen if players speak up.
