New tanking abilities in the expansion thread!

A gap closer - yes please!

I love the traited berserk (remove Pacification, or just normal trait reducing CD or i5ncreasing duration). Potency is already awesome. I don't think we need it, but it would be awesome.

I would also really lek to see something to manage tp better in OT positions for both tanks. MT is fine. Liberal use of Swipe and Wrath skills are generally enough to keep pace in long fights. But OY, both tanks loose their low tp fillers and just burn tp like a grease fire. I would like to have some function to conserve or regain tp that is weaved into both tanks (not just insta tp button like invig). Just like in MT positions both do useful actions that conserve tp, I'd like to see that when a mob isn't facing you.


But the most important are to address the most requested changes since dawn of time:

3rd hit after riot so pld has a non enmity combo to OT with and have some choice while MT (assuming It has some useful effect)

Do SOMETHING with holmgang. Many ways to address this. Just do something.

And let Shield Bash (stun) out of GCD.

^ that.

Maybe something useful for having WHM be paladin's cross class? I mean, I use stoneskin all the time in coil. Particularly in t9 when I am waiting to explode form Raven's Ascent or for Dalamund Dive to bring Nael back down on me.. Pretty much whenever I am standing around with nothing better to do. Maybe it saves the healers some mp, plus.. why not?

But cures for 200 just aren't worth a damn. And no battle raise...

as mentioned a cd that allows us to nullify or halve tp cost for whatever the devs thought would be a good time. probs 10-15secs,

this would go a long way in preserving tp in raid scenarios. less so outside of them though.

a gap closer would also be pretty cool, but they would have to be careful of distance because otherwise we'd end up jumping to far ahead take tonnes of damage and die from lack of heals.... although that would be more on the tank using the skill correctly.

People say non-GCD Shield Bash? So a 30 second cooldown?

I could see shield swipe moving off the GCD with not much but a positive DPS impact but the Bash is more potent and more available than any other stun. You can't just put it off GCD without giving it a moderate cooldown.

A gap closer - yes please!

All tanks should get one, kinda suprised they already dont have this so i hope we will see it in expansion.

A gap closer - yes please!

I feel like a gap closure isn't quite needed in FF14 right now. I wouldn't mind seeing one tank get it, like the Warrior getting a Bull Rush type move and seeing how it feels after this expansion, but just him.

I'd want the Paladin to get an extra AoE Move, and the Warrior to get an extra defensive move so we don't have them pigeon-holed into Main and Off tank as much in the expansion.

main reason for pld being mt is becuase literally all he has as ot is halone and fracture
he runs out of tp with no swipe procs

nothing to do with warrior being "inferior" or "squishier"
war is only worse than pld when you try to play war like pld.
war aint no 3 button dance

A combo system which involves 2 or more characters join together for a group combo a la Chrono Trigger.

For a tank, i agree you don't need a gap closure but a Melee dps especially monks, you are sooooo wrong about not needing it. Your 3 GS stacks depends on shoulder tackle most of the time.
