Besides that, the closest "tank class only" utilities, that are beneficial for the whole party tanks have are Thrill of War, and the tank adrenaline ability (limit break).

If a tank were to pop one of his own defensive cooldowns, it actually encourages players to target somebody else (Opposite of tanking). Also, I'd like to point out that adrenaline now takes longer to build for tanks due to the lack of dps and kills.

With this said, Scholars and Astrologians can be said to be better tanks, than tanks due to their shields they produce.

Sorry for the rambling with the tank part.. but in the small community of tanks in an even smaller community of PVP this "change" hit us right in the gut.

Thanks for taking the time to read my ideas and suggestions, I really hope for the first two to happen and pray for the third!
