I don't know what the solution is but we fellow tanks need to stop butting heads otherwise its going to never end. I remember back in very early 2.0 plds were complaining about wielding toothpicks with the amount of damage they do and warriors were complaining that they had a giant axe and were doing the same dps as a paladin with a small sword. Its funny if you think about it. Now were back to practically the same complaints.

The only thing I can agree towards currently is that there should be a balance between utiltiy/mitigation/dps for tanks marginally. The counter to that is that we currently have a very high tank dps meta because of hard enrages and SE is shooting themselves in the foot cause of it... seriously what happened to soft enrages? Paladin finally gets an amazing utility skill and things like ahk mourn spam soft enrages are gone... So the utility part when considering balance for tanks is really not nearly as comparable to the DPS aspect. There's a lot to consider right now, that's why I don't have much to contribute to a real solution. Right now its prolly best that the tanks are so close to each other dps wise but SE really needs to give war atleast 1 utility skill and shake it off could have been it. I'd rather see that then a pld nerf, don't worry pldbros some of us wars stand with you.
