you're already the most defensive class in the game, and the best aggro maintaining class in the game, yet you want MORE?
95% of raids encounters require use a guard ( WARRIOR ) to be successful. Making guards even more defensive and giving them more taunts would simply kill the majority of the other tanks in the game - reducing them to ONLY being viable as guard buffers and 2nd rate dps. There's already enough stigma out there against non guards.
we don't need to widen the gap.
That being said, I think you guys need another role when NOT in a primary MT position.
I'd love to see you guys get an offensive stance that dramatically changes your role. Dropping your defense/mitigations down to something similar to a crusader, cancelling your reactive taunts, etc. but greatly improving your offensive skills/dps output.
This would give the backup tank a reason for being taken on a raid, and for guards to be taken along on exp groups/instance runs when there are multiple tanks available.
Thats where the guards are weak right now, having a purpose OTHER than MT'ing a raid.
There ya go. Fixed your post for you. No charge.
