Tanks and Tankery

[Tal]

I never specified that a tank stay in defensive stance Artega - in fact I was pretty implicit that a tank change stance as needed as the situation warrants. Taunt can be resisted this is true as can thunderclap. Mocking blow can miss, piercing howl can also be resisted - all of which is just as likely when a mob is 3 levels higher or a boss. My personal preference is to be in defensive stance with a fast weapon for multiple mob pulls as it mitigates the damage I take, allows for excellent skills like shield wall and allows me access to my bread and butter skills like sunder armor, taunt, demoralizing shout, etc. Thats just my personal experience with playing a warrior. YMMV.
