I was mostly making a shot at all the people I know who want samurai tanks. "Oh, you want a tank in heavy armor with a big sword that relies on parry?".....yeah, dark knight's that way. ------>

I do agree with you on most of those points though. I'm well aware of Aussie latency issues, which is why a pet tank job would probably bear about as much control over their pet as Machinist turrets (basically none at all). Either a greathammer, dual mauls or dual chopper axes would make more sense as weapons of choice given how unwieldy a carved-out massive wooden post would be. Some of the skills do seem either lackluster or broken as well, but I understand the attempt to link the Beastmaster to something more spiritualistic for the sake of job lore and ability inspiration.

BTW Sylve, if you're gonna talk WoW lore, orcs were the original shaman race before tauren. =P
