Same. I could see a decoy tank "working" but this sort of reminds me of "tag, youre it!" Of course, with a decoy tank and this games combat, that would be difficult i would think. Although... yeah, pretty much would make it hard for things like positioning, among other things. I did think at one time though it'd be interesting to have a tank that could split/hold boss in place and wander off to grab adds, but thatd just make 2 tanking less viable, so,,,
