Sure, OF Tanks will make a comeback with the Tank 'n Spank crowd... but it won't be as imbalanced as the current Tanks.

there was a mention that people are doing doasc in about 30mins to 1hr slower then the times of SF.
that would be believeable if you use red, green, blue candy and cons to speed up the movement? correct me with this if im wrong.

i think a paragon would replace SF . An imbagon would allow normal warriors (even HB warriors) to tank and thus, HB warriors don't need to bring tank specific skills like defy pain just to tank. they can stick with HB and still tank thanks to SY from paragons.

like mentioned by someone earlier, OF takes away the purpose of SCs. VoS dervs are just weird .

Bolded the wining part.
It doesn't mean they are balanced.
Thus - some trashing would be in order.

What's the point speculating now?

With the exception of very few members of the community the rest of us have no clue what else is going to be 'balanced'

Take an educated guess. Farming skills, speed clears, no more. Think "Balanced teams", none of that will be nerfed. Although it would be funny to see Save Yourselves nerfed also, in their attempt to make tactic's Watch Yourself used more.

Guess what? ERPhysway might actually be one of the best meta we'd have seen in quite a while. That's elem + 5 potential physical (tough* para and derv are...potentially outclassed)+ probably at least 1-2 utility casters (order-necro,MoP,weapon rit...).

*how do you spell that blasted word???!?? Edit: yeah , it's though.

Though?

Yes, it can pretty much power through anything with layers of protection; Prot bond and SY being the main event.

Of course if you enter an area with, say, Well of Profane, Mirror of Disenchantment AND Vocal Minority, you could have a potential hiccup. But how often does that happen

Everywhere else it's godmode.

The team is generally 2x ERs, by the way. Maybe just because I'm lazy.
MoP nuker and/or OoV necros and if you have a ritualist loitering, make him SoS.

The great thing about this setup is pretty much anyone can join your team. That is, any profession; generally the ERs can carry nabbish players through missions.
