After playing warrior for close to 4 years....I can say this.

This is a good change and I'm glad they finally did it. I don't really care about what makes a tank slightly different then the next. What I care about is how does the tank play with it's full kit.

Warrior - Unga Bunga, hate meter, walking meat grinder. i.e. Beast gauge and stupid self sustain tank.

Gunbreaker - Flashy, Devil May Cry, S rank style. i.e. sword go bang bang during my ULTRAAAAA COMMMMBOOOOOO phase.

Dark Knight - Edgy, hates sunlight, hates himself, total disregard for well being.
Japanese anime hair style up to +11 with street lamp size sword to declare how much pain i'm in with my "Blood Gauge" and how long I have been on the "Darkside" timer. i.e. Strong tank with most oGCD's, coolest DOT in form of shadow.

Paladin - Mitigation Chad, riposte build, mage tank. i.e. I like holding 2 weapons vs. one big one or one small one. I like helping my team the most out of any tank. I have a damage "nope" button.

Funny thing is....out of ALLL of the tanks....the AOE was the least remembered thing on my mind.

I don't have the AOE on my hotbar unless i'm in P3S, which even then....this would be EASIER to pick up the adds then positioning my self in a line to grab the birds. Now I can just circle AOE, circle AOE.....done.

Will I miss the cool look of overpower. Maybe. Will I miss that awkward positioning. Not at all.

Next.
