Why Necro's are the New Tanks
Or….that when Warriors loose HP, they cannot sustain themselves. A 4 second invuln with Endure Pain, garbage. Warriors are far from tankiest. In any PVP, Guardians Necromancers Engineers and sometimes Rangers can out-tank a Warrior so easily.
Why is this a warrior forum post? Eles, guardians, engis, and rangers would be much more interested in who is tanking best.
This is funny. I get a lot of hate messages because people want to kill me but dat greatsword mobility!
On a serous note, Warriors play on the outside looking for opportunities because they have to….if you don’t like it ask Anet to stop holding back the Warrior sustain buffs and get on it.

The reason Necro’s became mass Tanks is because Warriors continued to run away from fights (and stand in back of groups/zergs) in PVP situations so Anet decided the Tanking should go to the Necro’s profession instead.
Not sure how your build / playstyle is, but my warrior has no problem getting into the middle of a group / zerg and being able to cause serious disruption while being able to sustain myself (via healing shouts / shield stance) and being able to fall back to a safe point using gs #3 / #5. The only real kitten block in large engagements like that is being focused with lots of fears (which cut me out of shield stance), but that doesn’t happen often, and even if it does, with so many people focusing 1 person in a large team fight everyone else on my server / group is focusing them in turn. I’m making a video showing all that off, and will post it on the forums as soon as it’s done.
Not sure why warriors are at the back of the zerg unless they are glassy. I’m always up front taking the brunt of the other zerg.

Have you played other classes? Healing shouts aren’t exactly something to brag about. What’s saving you is blocks during which you aren’t outputting dps, then burning your mobility skills running out of the zerg v zerg.
Or build go it? Cleric+Banners?

Full cleric+banners does not give you comparable sustain…
