I am sure this is a repost, but I would like to be able to select my role in a group as a Warrior at some point in the future. I am comfortable making groups so that I can tank for now, but just thought it may be a nice addition at some point.

*Great game so far!

I am a store manager at a gas station, and am currently listening a 72 yo talking to my back while I surf the interweb. This is a daily listening session, and he swears I have great listening skills.

OP: You win so much right now

I have the same problem.

To make this a bit more constructive now that I know I am just not failing at using the UI, where should this be posted to notify the proper people of the suggestions we have? I really enjoy this game and would like to see it succeed, and I know they can't fix anything if they are not fully aware of a problem.

VoidDragoon is exactly correct about Warrior tanks. I have watched many videos and read plenty of write ups about Warriors in the tanking role. We are an evasion tank not traditional meat shield, many of our moves are 'high threat', and 'reduces dmg by % while using this move'. Thus the purpose of my OP. I understand this class, along with its 'difficulty'. I am not trying to step into territory that is not my own. I even have gear with defensive properties, and are Warrior spec, useless to the other light armor classes.

That seems to be a let down for those of us that have the ability and the want to tank as Warriors. Hopefully this system will be an addressed issue. Thank you both for the quick reply.

My wife and I have been playing for OB and yesterday we did our first instance through the matching system. She is playing a Priest and I have been playing a Warrior. I have always played tanks in other games, and like the feel of the dodge in this game. She is typically heals and has been willing to put up with me learning to dodge/move around mob attacks. I have been using/holding on to gear that has tanking properties.

To make things a little shorter, I have wanted and been prepared to tank (including bringing my own healer) and keep getting matched with lancers. I understand that lancers are tanks period, and I have not wanted to be a jerk about something that isn't their fault, so I just switch to the dps stance and go with it, although I made one mad because I kept pulling off him because he constantly just did some aoe move, and for the rest of the time just blocked (I honestly wasn't trying to pull aggro).

Is there a way to set roles? I would like to know if I am doomed to create my own parties, also my wife was curious in case we ran into a party with another priest or mystic.

*On a side note, I am in love with this game, and I can't wait until launch. Ty all in advance, and sorry if this is a repost, but I've been searching and found not much.
