Tank Stance

No, I would say the warrior was doing a good job. Get initial threat. It's a party responsibility for aggro. All dps and healers have tools that they should be using to manipulate their aggro. That is how you play tank in this game, you get aggro, then you dps.

Great reply. I mean those skills aka diversion, lucid etc are there for a reason as well. But I guess some people forget they have a purpose.

Or just that they exist. I just ran into a sprout healer who had no idea what role actions even were. This game assumes a great many things about what its playerbase knows, and fails rather miserably in explaining them to begin with.
Tank stance, on the other hand, is inescapable. Assuming, of course, comparable ilvls across the roles. There's little an undergeared tank can do against an overgeared dps save to provoke off of them. Which is also sadly a role action.

That too, there is some serious lack of reading tooltips in this game too.

and when I commented on that fact he says dps should use diversion!? Wtf. When both dps and healer are the top 3 enmity list maybe use the godamn tank stance.

which is why they suck.

I dont quite follow here, please explain.

I'm afraid it wasn't a great reply because the poster hadn't read what I said. Their point is based on the war getting initial threat, which they didn't, which is why they suck.
