Tanking Frustration: I blame WoW

[SkyBlueLogan]

Damn character limit...
Don't get me wrong, I actually enjoy a challenge and I found tanking in WoW (after doing it for 6+ years) to be a snoozefest. On the other hand I found tanking in a game like TERA to be more difficult but incredibly rewarding and fun if I played well. Currently in FFXIV ARR, while I feel like there are definitely things I can do to make the encounter go more smoothly, the bulk of the threat control is in the hands of the DPS and healers. If they took some of that control and gave it back to the Tanks allowing for some more interesting game play with handling mobs (CC, interrupts, snap aggro or even positioning abilities) it'd be a lot more interesting for tanks and better for overall game play then just giving us a bunch of damage mitigation CDs to cycle.
