Warrior Tanks HELP!

How do you que for an instance as a warrior tank after 52?
Every time I am matched with Lancers or Brawlers. I thought the defense stance being active would change that, but it doesn't.

    when you match in as a warrior, the game detect your class as being a dps, no matter what stance you are in, i believe this also apply to berserker's.
    The only classes the game recognize as tank is the lancer and brawler.

    This link shows an entirely different matchmaking system that allows you to choose your role. Are we going to eventually get an option to que as a tank?

    that i do not know, however, as it stand now, the system you linked isnt implemented and there is no word on when it will be either.

    I think this is the PC version. It doesn't work on console

    could someone pls confirm this.
    i was planning on making a warrior to tank, but if queuing as a tank isn't possible, i'll have to change my plans.

    Change your plans, so far I can not find a way to que as a tank. Everytime it makes a dps. It's only been helpful when the tank isn't good and I'll switch stances and take and hold the aggro.

    I play a Lancer (as my main, because I wanted a good way to get into dungeons), and I've noticed I have had Brawlers, Warriors, and even another Lancer get into my dungeon party. I was really thrown when I saw we had 2 Lancers...like what? Why?? Do you know how hard it is to tank when 2 Lancers are tossing aggro around like mad? lmao. So dumb. At one point I literally just stopped doing anything, and laughed while watching how dumb it looked. If this happened in an end game dungeon, the party would have been dead early on. This is also why I don't join a PUG party unless I'm 5 levels above the dungeon, so all I really need is a healer, and can carry whatever the rest of the PUG ends up being.

    But at least a Warrior is still useful, even when there is a Lancer. The WORST is getting a Brawler in there. I get a Brawler on the team, and I just give up trying - so many players can't work a Brawler correctly, and just shove enemies around the room...at which point I walk past them and let them deal with the issue they created for themselves. I can only imagine how frustrating that is for a healer.

    @Nefrai @Angryshooter
    Does the game on console, when you ims leveling dungeons, pop up a window during imsing saying "we are having trouble with finding the right party composition..."? That message means it will match you with multiple tanks if that makes the queue pop faster.
    Warriors should be able to queue as tanks, try to explore the options more. Zerks can only unlock tanking skills at endgame which is why I think they can't queue as a tank until they reach lvl 65.

    Do not worry too much about tanking properly until you hit 65 anyway, level discrepancies often make tanking impossible while imsing leveling dungeons and weird setups/compositions can happen etc.

    Yes, I see that pop up sometimes, but I never accept it. I guess even if I don't, other people can still join my session? That's frustrating. I use the lower dungeons to practice tanking so I don't feel as noobish in end game levels. Honestly, I've just started soloing the dungeons in the story levels...it's slow going, but doable. If you are 6 or 7 levels over the dungeon, you can't use the instance matching anyway, and I'm always way over leveled by the time a story quest takes me to a dungeon.
