Sorry for thinking that's the basic definition of TANK..
Whereas the description of GLA was "Oh, you deal a tiny little bit of dmg so you can't pull hate at all, but we give you nice healing skills to help others and a few aggro-pulling-skills as well so with all your useless def, so you can at least help out RD with tanking"?
Okay, I'm not saying Paladin is not ging to be tanking alot, too.
I'm just saying MRD will have to do a lot more tanking than before..
I don't really mind though, I'm even fine with the way PUG is going to work, because that's something that I want to try before saying it REALLY will be bad.

But what I KNOW is bad is what they did with CNJ and THM, and it makes me upset enough to quit without playing after 1.20.

Hate gaining abilities:

Temporarily reduces damage you sustain and increases enmity generated by actions executed while effect is active.

Temporarily increases the defense of all party members within range. Generates massive enmity.

Increases target's enmity. Traits may trigger an AoE and a chance to inflict Stun.

Melee attack.
Combo: GLD WS 1, Bonus: Increased enmity.

Increases enmity of all enemies within range. Can only be used immediately after blocking an attack.

Defense and heal abilities:

Temporarily reduces damage you sustain and increases enmity generated by actions executed while effect is active.

Blocks the next attack made against you and grants HP in proportion to damage sustained.

Increases block rate and grants TP for each block made while effect is active.

Grants imperviousness to melee attacks. Effect fades upon moving.

Restores target's HP. When cast on another player, restores 50% of their HP in addition to a portion of your own.

Add to that the amount of enmity generated from heals and I think Glad/Paladin will make an amazing great tank.
