    ehh...playing a lancer...and having a "Warrior Tank in the party" makes it to be annoying for me. The Lancer is the tank of the party. Supposed to be. When I try and keep agro on me. so that the rest of the party can do their thing. It does not make my job that much easier when I have a warrior insisting to pull agro from my job. Just saying. But if that is something you want to do and find more enjoyment and challenge from it, by all means go for it. However if you get in a party with a lancer..don't be hard on them as you pulled half their job from them, there by making a large portion of the parties successa bit harder. Just my opinion.

    There are 4 tank classes on Tera:
    • Berserk
    • Warrior
    • Lancer
    • Brawler

    If you are a Lancer and IM for a party then the Warriors you will be matched are for DPS and not for tanking.

    Tell them that. When you get in a dungeon you change change out your glyph set up and crystals too. You can change out your gear with the simple click of a saved set up if you wanted to tank the dungeon.

    While people may consider Berserkers and Warriors Tanks. I don't. I consider them dps. Brawler I consider a burst dps tank like Gunner.

    this is the problem, you dont know about tanks,

    There ARE some troll D-stance warriors in IM queue as a DPS role use Battle cry in their rotation. Yeah. They are mostly likely floormat too and they are better lying on the ground because they will contribute more trouble when they are alive.

    I only accept D-stance DPS warrior in Channelworks.

    As a warrior tank i always outdps all other DPS classes in IM, but still, i lose sometimes agro due to other warriors with 3 x less damage. They just use shout, and spam other agro skill, anyway, with my damage its not hard to get agro back.

    Unfortunately some dps Warriors randomly shout as well, using ToB is acceptable in some scenarios and generally won't take aggro (it frontal blocks even in A-Stance) but not sure why they think using shout is a good idea.

    Lack of tanks probably not, lack of geared and decent tanks who do damage and don't die/don't turn bosses then yeah

    That is the real problem. The amount of "jobs" that the tank have to carry nowadays.
    He have to tank, DPS, and sometimes heal himself, ress the others and carry out all the [filtered] run. But ok, TO TANK is his role, heal himself is a bonus, also SHOULD BE for DPS, the Tank DPS SHOULD BE required only the "Enought to keep aggro and don't screw up the run", but since brawler's release, every tank has earned the vocation of the DPSs itself. How the [filtered] are u tanking and not dealing at least 1m/s in last boss of RMHM?!!!!111eleven!!

    That's the main reason why many tanks left, and many others (like me) are disgusted with the role. :)

    For the topic, Warrior tanking is almost the same as before, but with steroids, now u can chain Blade Draw after a block, ToB have frontal block, and D-Stance by itself is better than a Threatening Vyrsk. The only trouble, compared to the others, is your leather armor, as always have been.

    I'd love to learn how to tank properly on my warrior.

    Step 1.) You don't.
    Step 2.) See step 1.
    Step 3.) Create a Lancer if you want to tank.

    Hope you don't let the huge crowd of morons like this gentleman discourage you of Wartank. If you enjoy irony, they're the same crybabies who'll say TERA lacks tanks

    There are no lack of tanks, Warrior simply cannot and will not hold hate on any reasonably equal or higher geared dps in anything harder than the 410s.

    Plain and simple.

    I can't tell if you're stupid or trolling.

    If you can't do 2mil dps while tanking you're not a tank despite the fact if you're alancer warrior zerker or brawler if you're not doing 2mil dps you're not a tank, carry your own weight then and only then will you be seen as a tank. Good luck.

    Next patch: Healers have to heal 1m/s while keeping everyone alive too, 2 patches later, all dps's are removed from the game, since they're useless for having only 1 job.

    PS: SARCASM... hope I understood right and u're being sarcastic too :o
