Warrior tanking

Hi! Pretty simple question here. Is warrior tanking plausible these days? I haven't seen any warr tanks since I came back a couple of months ago, and I'm wondering if there's a point trying at all, or if brawler and lancer are so far superior that a warrior tank is essentially obsolete.

    Warrior tanking is plenty viable. A good Warrior tank does damage on par with a Brawler, and provides an aspd buff making them slightly more competitive than Brawler tank.

    Generally they're not seen much because Warrior is a great DPS class, and there's a significant gear setup difference between Warr tank and Warr DPS since it requires different gear rolls, crystals and a relatively large difference in crit factor, which often means different jewelry.
    It's also often slightly more difficult to get into LFG as a Warrior tank because most people expect Warrior to be DPS.

    If the gearing setup change doesn't bother you, then Warrior tank is totally viable.

    That's great news! Thanks for the answer :) My warrior is yet to be geared, so that's not much of a problem. My guild is kinda out of tanks and I wanted to gear one so that I'll have it up my sleeve if we need it for a guild run, but I wasn't sure if I could pick warrior instead of lancer; at the same time I'm missing playing warrior, so I wanted to gear one anyway, and this seemed like a good opportunity.

    When they decide to remove the "tanking skills" until level 52?? I created a warrior yesterday, and i have not Dstance and CrossParry, and Shout like before. At level 52 i can have them. So, no warrior tank until this level.
    Why BHS whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?
