2H vs Sword/Shield Tanking

Literally the most predictable reply possible.

By way of counterpoint, consider the following:

Enough with the 2H Tanking!

2-Hander tanks. Why?

2H Tanks, when did this become a thing?

Entitled dual-wielding/2H “tanks”

What 2H “tanks” haven’t figured out yet, but will eventually

That’s literally just the first 5 I saw searching for “2H tank”

Then again, I literally haven’t been in a group that understood that you have to wait at least 0.5 seconds before nuking, or that you have to focus dps, or a million other things. So I can only guess that either 1) a lot of people are new, 2) retail plays different and is causing confusion with classic or 3) people haven’t somehow gotten worse over time. No idea really.

Edit: actually what I think is happening is that no one actually wants to tank, and that they only do it begrudgingly because they need to for groups. Like mages with water. So they do it, but only on their terms, which often translates into doing it poorly.
