Lastly, if you're putting up your great sword because of the 5.0 changes, you really should have put it up in 4.0 because fundamentally the kit FEELS the same. As for DPS balance, the tanks are all so close together that arguing that one tank is doing more damage than than another seems sort of silly? Most of the time the discrepancy between the highest DPS tank and the lowest DPS tank is <200 DPS which is NOTHING when the DPS classes have a discrepancy of >2000 DPS. I know DPS isn't everything and mitigation is really important, but honestly TBN feels extremely powerful. Also when I see people who left DRK to play gunblade, I kind of scratch my head? Gunblade's rotation doesn't really offer deep meaningful big galaxy brain choices like people claim DRK's used to. That doesn't make it not fun, obviously tons of people are enjoying it and they are right to. It just seems strange that you'd leave a class you thought was simplified down to be "stupid but fun" for another class that has the same level of simplicity?? I don't know maybe I'm looking too much into it.

TL;DR: I don't hate changes in a video game thus I do not have big galaxy brain. Also, give a version of TBN WAY earlier.
