I've been playing this game for a long time. The only thing a tanker is better at is holding aggro. If you level up a brute and get him decked out in full Set IO's he can tank anything a tank can and hold aggro just as well, along with doing WAY more damage. I myself love tanks, the way they are now, they just don't compare.
With all the work the Devs are doing here now, I am truly hoping to see some tweaking done with tanks. Would love to See their Taunt hit up to 16 targets, and pull them all within melee range! (DROOL). As for damage, all they would need to do, in my opinion at least, is give tanks a reason to hold aggro by giving them a 3-5% boost to damage for every mob they have taunted on them. I believe the cap is 16, so its only an 48-80% damage boost., which would still be below Brutes.
Either way, the game offers so much! I'm so glad to be back!
