I love the fact that all tanks will not have to be cut from the same cloth.

I have ALWAYS pondered the difference between a good tank and an amazing tank. The amazing tank usues unorthodox techniques and uses them to perfection.

Put this in RL terms (ugh, I usually hate referring to real events for an MMO, but here goes...) In mideaval times, what do you think made the difference between a soldier, and a hero?

To me, the soldier isn't altogether a rocket-scientist, he has some good skills, is strong, confident, but lacks something. That something is the hero factor.

To me, a hero needs to be smarter, and not necessarily stronger, than his foes. Doesn't necessarily have more endurance(health), but is more agile, and very perceptive. Knows himself inside and out and often uses his intelligence to win the battle.

I have always 'half-wished' that intelligence would be needed for every class. Those who didn't take intelligence would be great, have more health, more strength...but in the end, they're just a soldier.

I think 98% of the players who go into VG think the only way to tank is constitution. I hope to find out that dexterity, intelligence and agility make more of a difference. And, I know it sounds like I am describing a different class, but I still believe this would make for a good tank. That being said, you need a high amount of health to tank effectively, but like I stated previously, the Inquisitor to me suggests that I will be able to go different routes as a tank than the norm.

That's what I hope anyway.
