Why don't Tanks have attacks that can cleave multiple enemies?

Just goes to show the only viable CC in PvE is just a bunch of stuns/silences. .

The only viable CC is more dps! When it's dead, it's controlled.

And that mentality is why CC skills were relegated to PvP.

Which is beyond frustrating for anyone that remembers MMO's that were challenging and required DPS to be aware of their surroundings.

Almost every wipe can easily be avoided with simple CC done by either of the two DPS players. But why bother? It's easier to just spam their damage abilities and blame the tank and healer for the wipes. I hate this mentality.

You can't argue with it because they're all used to being over-geared, playing with FC-members, easy linear dungeon maps, etc... God forbid someone in the group is new, under-geared, or just struggling that day. The new way is to wipe rather than using support abilities. It's sad. People think they're good players because of DPS parses... There used to be a lot more to these games. And like you said it really shows when they try to PvP.

Nah. It's this way because a majority of things aren't worth the effort and pose no real threat, unless you're paired up with a new / horrible tank or healer.

Ergo in the long run the only 2 roles that matter.

Tell that to things that have a soft and hard enrage. ;X

The only tank that desperately needs a rotational cleave is PLD. WAR has a monopoly on physical AoE, and DRK has an abundance of AoE options, even if all magic damage.

Royal Authority should have been a rotational cleave; same potency for a single target, but 70% damage if multiple enemies are hit.
