<p>Instead of a revamp of the stances and merging spells into them, a NEW stance could be added: Taunt Stance (with def stance defence qualities but lower dps than current def stance), while leaving the current stances untouched.</p><p>Instead of being <span style="text-decoration: underline;">forced</span> to tank in low-dps mode, the tank could decide on his own to switch to a taunt mode with the taunts being increased dramatically while dps is lowered; resulting in more hate gain at all but lower dps. So a mastercrafted and A3 geared tank could tank for top dps'lers with raid gear and fully mastered, without appearing like an incapable idiot because loosing aggro all the time.</p><p>This would not annoy the MANY players who hate the current revamp plans and still granting more aggro if needed at the cost of lower dps.</p>

<p>Heck, why not just make a slider bar for all fighter classes.  have 100% damage at the one end, things are just like now, at the other end is 100% threat, where instead of doing any damage, you only generate hate instead.  Have it be at say 3 to 1 threat to damage ratio.  This could be used in any stance.  This would allow people to really choose how they want to tank.  don't care as much about defense but want agro out the wahzoo? go offensive with the slider set most of the way towards threat.  Need to take a beating, but haven't been having any issues holding agro? go deffensive with slider set to damage.</p><p>You could even justify its existance by saying that instead of going all out to kill the mob the fighter is just slapping it around.  While I would be [Removed for Content] at someone that was trying to kill me, I think I would really go into a rage at someone that thought he was so much better then me that he could just slap me around and get away with it.  Just an idea.</p>
