Tanks: No Gap Closers?

[Zenky]

Was just curious why tanks in this game didn't have any type of gap closers. I know it's not "required," but it's one of those fascinating abilities that actually looks and feels awesome.

I understand Monk's have Shoulder Tackle, which is awesome, but I just wish tanks had some comparable ability to weave through the battle at times.


Anyone hear any reason/have any insight?

My suggestions:

Paladin: Rush - With Shield raised, crash into enemy at a blinding speed creating enmity and dazing foe for 1 sec in a cone.

Warrior: Crash - Spin at foes in the air, crashing with fury and erupting the ground debuffing foes for 4 secs (circular effect upon end).

War already has one, but at 6y it's more or less useless. I'm not really sure what their vision was for Holmgang, but I haven't really found much use for it. I see that there are some very niche places in which it has use, but this really should have been designed slightly differently and be at 25y. Provoke isn't useful enough to get aggro and make a mob chase you. You need to swing at it a couple times afterward unless your DPS switches off from it (and what DPS does?) - Holmgang would be perfect in this instance to pull the monster toward you before the provoke.

There's enough random filler abilities for warrior and not enough tanking "tools".

It would certainly be nice for pvp. For pve the shield lob and tomahawk works fine although gap closers would help positioning monsters as they spawn for sure.

I always thought of Holmgang was more or less like a weakened and extremely situational Hallowed Ground. I guess I would just like to see more tools added in the future for tanks. And that's not to say tanking isn't fun or difficult otherwise, actually I love the tank's pace in FF14. I just figured since tanks are melee why not give them a gap closer (Monks and Dragoons have them). Hope they add someday.
