All games lack tanks in number to begin with, SE must think they can get away with also screwing over half of theirs. You may be able to change classes with one button, but they made AF+1 gear unique to class which pretty much forces most tanks into rerolling a paladin.

    Given their record I honestly wouldn't be surprised if most tanks reroll to paladin and then 3 months later SE overbuffs warriors and forces people to reroll again. Balancing PVE in a game is not difficult, the fact that this issue made it past Beta Testing a very bad sign for this games future.

    I'm not even close to being there, so take my "warrior fix" for what it's worth, but I was wondering what people would think of this idea....

    If you swapped a warriors healing abilities to "negative shield" abilities, would that be better? Ie. the hps you generate through your abilities are saved (to a certain cap) rather than heal you immediately. When your hps reach 0 it dips into this pool prior to death (sorta a berserker rage thingy where you refuse to die).

    That way you wouldn't just have 1000 or whatever more hps as some suggest, and the healers wouldn't have to "heal" those hps. Instead those are yours to build up and save while the healers can keep up and a reserve for the huge moments when they can't.

    It would of course reset to 0 between battles or something. Ugh I dunno if that is either the worst idea ever or if I'm not explaining it properly but that's my shot in the dark.

    Just got my Bravura, was Main Tank on Titan HM.

    If anything, Warriors need more healing via inner beast, the DPS limit dropped off defiance and most importantly:

    - One skill that is a short cooldown that boosts our DEF like crazy and lasts only a few seconds, so we can use it for timed things like Mountain Buster.
    - More enmity generation in general, especially for our main enmity rotation.

    But some kind of high DEF ability that lasts for a short time and is on a short cooldown, will definately add to the "high risk, high reward" factor for warrior, and will raise the skill level needed to play it as a tank.

    We'll I'm nowhere near coil content wise... just hit 50 and the random groups(my guild is not so far yet) I join for ak and so on just prefer PLD every time and I'm left with picking up adds and the OT role. This is fine but sometimes you want to tank the big guy yourself. From what I gathered the last couple of days I decided to try my luck leveling up the pld.
    So last n8 I rerolled to paladin, even on a fresh character, I will keep my mrd for better days....
