No one tank on Warriors anymore?
Cannot find any updated guides on warrior tanking this year at all. Does that mean hardly anything has changed? or has everyone givin up?

Other than that it's obviously not optimal. But that's not warrior's issue or lancer's or zerk's - it's brainded, misdesigned and absolutely most broken class up to date called brawler that is the issue. Whether it's about their ridiculous dps output, autoblock or other releated issues (galloping power/crit creep, removed threat gear).
BHS says many things....
Well as I said not much has changed. That's why there doesn't need to be a new guide.
All warrior tank needs is a damage buff for people to play them tbh. I'd honestly say I like tanking on warrior better because warrior has way better mobility.
Plus the added fact that usually people tend to get all doom and gloom that over the fact that the tank is a warrior
God Tier : brawler
viable tier : Lancer
Delete pls tier: warrior, berserk
Why not Play a Brawler?
-My main has been a Warrior for four years, not easily put to the side for a flavor of the month
-It is shallow but their outfits look like some 5th grader designed them or the Dev team got drunk one night, they just look pathetic in comparission to what was already in game
-Their stance, seriously looks like some one shoved an Elin up there back side. Who even thinks that looks appealing?
-Castanic>Human
-Game Play, can't get over the fact a Tank does move Dam than a DPS class
-To OP in PvE and PvP, ruins what TERA was for me
Why not play a Lancer?
-Backstep Iframe is the only reason, Just not used to the timing of it in hard modes and fighting myself to get used to it.
Ideas to improve Warrior?
First off firmly believed Warriors should of gotten skills that worked like blocks, call them something crazy like Parries.
-Torrent of Blows Parries/Block
-Pounce when used the next skill Parries attacks
-Blade Draw when used after a block Crits 100 percent of the time or instead of the Bladedraw glyph just increase its base crit rate
-Edge is no longer stacked on target but becomes an resource much like other classes as a Warrior can build momentum off several targets to land a massive attack on one, working around the idea of a Blade Dance
What hell no this will break Warriors in PvP, um PvP is broken already by OP classes also you can make these skills only work in PvE
I don;t know, just semi depressed at how easy SShm is on a Brawler compared to a Warrior tank and simply no way I am going to play that class
God no. I like having to actually block when I need to block, thanks. Warriors don't need to be made faceroll like brawlers - it's bad enough that they made Wallop autoblock for lancers.
@thread - War tank is pretty much only useful for first boss in DF, as Ultemecia said. You can try tanking something yourself, but I can guarantee you that it won't go well, unless you're running with idoneal DPS or people that are AFK. Tanking is just pure hell on war atm, and despite the endless aggro % buffs they keep giving war tank, they still can't hold aggro with DPS gear like they could before. The damage is just that bad.
You could roll full aggro to actually hold it, but then your miniscule DPS would become even more pitiful, and you're basically dead weight. Even with a damage buff, there's no reason to take a wartank over a brawler or lancer. Lancer has a nice power buff, and is getting an even stronger party buff. Brawler has the second highest DPS in the game even after several nerfs, and is faceroll to play since as long as GF is up, you only have to dodge unblockable attacks.
A damage buff by itself will make warriors able to tank, but it still won't make them wanted. BHS clearly has no clue how to make them viable again since all they've done is slap more aggro on top of aggro on top of aggro. Which means nothing without damage.
If you do not make them on par as brawler then why even have them?
They do not bring party buffs
They do half the dam of a Brawler who keeps GF up
A Priest can just kite the first boss in DFhm as well much like they did in the old days in MChm allowing all DPS to bburn the boss
They are broken
Wars where mitigation/evasive tanks, we used to be able to pounce>RoB and Torrent through Dam but it became standard to just block. Block should of stayed Lancer unique in my opinion and parry/mitigation/evasion should of been improved on instead of the lazy hey lets just give them a block. Now War tanks are stuck behind it as Brawlers and Lancers took the roll or Parry and Miigation tanks
What makes a class wanted is the abiltiy of it to be fun to play. Right now Warrior tanks are not fun because they leave you with the feeling you are letting your friends down. They give you the feeling of being trash compared to others. Even if you are a 1 percentile player, which I am not, some one with less experience can do more than you on a Brawler. That destroyed a class people have enjoyed for four years.
I'm honestly not quite sure what your point was of that nonsensical rant, because you pretty much agreed with me, but you don't have to make warriors autoblock like brawlers to put them "on par." That's just ludicrous.
