This is not WoW. Warriors in GW are like DPS warriors. The only way u can "tank" is by clever positioning, ie blocking the path of the mob to ur clothies.

When i left GW for WoW i was very impress by the system where the tank holds aggro and the clothies & healers do their job from behind. I like the idea that things are in control if nobody screws up. GW to me is more running in and kill them before they kill u.

Oh and also to warn you that the community in-game are made up of mostly immature kids who play GW because they cannot afford to pay monthly instalments. Because of this you will likely be chatting to those in your guild or alliance and not talk or join PUGs. There is also a lot of scamming going around and botting is the norm. If you don't bot and u farm like every other Tom, Dick or Harry there is a possibility that you will be identified as a bot and get banned. End-game content consists of PvP or farming mobs over and over again for gold to buy "rare" weapons that are becoming increasing "unrare". There is no auction house so u r likely to troll this forum often or spend hours spamming "WTS" like the rest in trading hubs. You will also be constantly frustrated when skills and builds get nerfed even more so if u're a PvE-er. Not forgetting there is not professions or raiding so there is nothing much to do end-game wise except to farm, farm and more farm.

Of course WoW has its own set of problems but i won't get into that as i would be defering from the thread topic.
