Tank Problems need Tank Solutions

[Shurrikhan]

I don't see any need for all tanks to have a shared resource method. However, so long as we're all forced to see MP bars, I'd agree that it makes little sense not to use MP, especially since MP can as easily represent anything that starts (loads into instance) at maximum charge and regenerates over time (e.g., a cooldown).

That said, I don't want to see MP simply stand in place of an on-demand CD timer. MP is already used very differently from that on DRK and PLD, and using MP in place of a simple timer would both be clunkier (as it'd update only every 3 seconds, instead of per second or as granularly as one can display) and would waste thematic potential for WAR and GNB.

Sidenote: I'd also like to see more flexibility in ability timing among most tanks, with slightly fewer separate abilities but more more agency, impact, and flavor in total among what would remain. Perhaps then content could be more than just crafting a CD schedule for your non-red buttons while dancing about and rotating red skills like everyone else. But, that is doubtless a pipedream.
