Something so simple as letting warrior queue for tank, why does it take so long to get out?

Warriors were created as tanks, albeit requiring much more skill than the brain-dead level required of lancers, and as of right now, they can't que as tanks.

So...yea, it doesn't make a lick of sense.

There are a few options:

1. Buff warriors (is EME planning on doing this in the future?). They could ALSO make it more difficult to be a tank as a lancer...but that's not going to happen.

2. Add another tank class. (LMAO...won't happen for a LONG time)

3. Keep the status quo and pretend there's no issues with non-lancer ques (EME seems to be doing this VERY well...kudos)

---------------------
But here's my main problem with warriors right now...

Warriors generally can't get practice getting better tanking because no one wants to use them to tank. So they're skills never have a chance to get a better because people would rather wait 2 hours than give them a chance.

The community will kill warriors faster than EME's slowness to act will.

Warriors were designed to be tanks but the skill required is a bit much, especially for a PUG.

We hope to have a solution and allow warriors to join the tank queue by end of summer.

Excuse me? The skill required is a 'bit much', when TERA was touted by your marketing department as being a great new MMO unlike all the others out there for this very reason?

I've tanked all 60 instances as Warrior (both main tank and off-tank when a Lancer ragequits), and the only thing stopping me from doing it in certain instances is the broken flagging that occurs during certain boss fights. (Particularly those during Balder's temple that flag Lancers so that they cannot be targeted by minions or enviromental changes). Otherwise, it takes skill, yes, but if you seriously think it takes too much skill to do anything in this game then you need to L2P.

FFS, when idiots like Knoxxer aren't even confident in the ability of others to surpass their own lack of ability, then those of us who actually know how to play suffer in 2 hour queues waiting for some dip[filtered] Lancer who doesn't even know what he's doing. FFS with this [filtered].

You're a [filtered] retard. Knoxxer made his point perfectly clear. There is an average level of skill among players. Tera isn't attracting a more skilled crowd of players. Right now, the developer obviously feels that Warrior tanks are too difficult. Pretending that people will magically get much better than they are is the height of idiocy.

Look another proud warrior, hey here is a cookie for being o so pro with that 5* class of yours. So far I am loving the hate lancers get, its beyond hilarious. But I just can't wait to get this warrior I made to 60, cause so far I can tank just about anything by simply holding the left click button and moving right or left.

I hope I haven't offended any super pro 5* warriors! I just pray they let you guys que as tanks asap, I will be waiting on the hilarious comments. But then again, I guess they need to dumb it down. So therefore, I demand lancers get sweet dps buff and let me que as dps. Maybe I don't feel like tanking sometimes also, wth man! Berserker also needs a taunt with a block damage increase, maybe they want to que as a tank or dps also. Also slayers can evade nicely also, why can't they get a sweet taunt, maybe another evade skill and que up as tank or dps. I swear we are on to something!

Archer, sorc,mystic, and priests can stay where they are.

I can't wait what the developers have in store, but I already know one thing. People will cry about it.

^^ This, finally a million times. It's what most of us have been saying all along, every time another warrior comes along with these kinds of threads ad infinitum; Warriors will have to be changed in a major way to be allowed to queue as tank and make things fair for the rest of the classes, and that's not going to happen over night.

And this is what I suspected about all these clueless people spouting off and acting like warriors will be able to queue any time soon. They "hope to have a solution...by end of summer." LOL, summer doesn't even start until end of June and it ends at the end of Sept. You're looking at a "maybe" by fall, warriors.

You dont even need a tank for most dungeons, the lfd tool should be tweaked on a per-instance basis and allow 4 dps groups to be formed in situations where they would do just fine.
