I never use that ranged shield attack and I never use that weak-butt rotation that increases enmity. I've gone this far without them and I prefer to keep it that way.

What are your thoughts about my confusion?

Thanks.
My thoughts are that, if you truly don't believe that you understand tanking but refuse to use Shield Lob or the rotation that is the foundation of your job's role in a party in this game and want something else to stop people from calling you garbage at tanking, you should address your question to the development team instead of the community who otherwise are just as beholden to the very same rules of the game and are simply utilizing the options that provide the most desirable results.

Gotta say, I'm glad to see you're still around, Super_Bee. Change can sometimes be scary, and though I don't find myself logging in as much anymore, your consistent approach to starting/replying in threads has been a comforting constant.
