Over time, mechanics have shifted from tanks grabbing and holding aggro because they're the biggest and baddest thing making the mob angry, to tanks grabbing and holding aggro because they're being fed hate from other people making the mob angry. In short, Buy cheap AOC Gold  the emphasis has been on passive hate gain rather than active hate gain.

The goal is to shift back towards active hate gain and make holding a mob's attention a more interactive process for the tank.

In order to make this happen, EQ2 plat stances are becoming more meaningful. Being a tank in defensive stance will now mean more. Instead of being a damage dealer with a little extra mitigation, you'll now be a wall of rock standing between the mob and the squishies. Your taunts will be more effective than just saying, "Your father was a hamster and your mother smelled of elderberries!"

Another one of the goals that the team has tried to accomplish with the revamp is to give tanks a more defined role. Before, tanks were all over the place. A little bit of solo tanking here, a little group tanking there, and a heavy emphasis on DPS to gain hate. Now there's a clearer focus for each tank class. These roles aren't set in stone and by no means does everyone have to play the same way. A tank can still be flexible in choice of AA's and how they wish to play. This just makes it easier to match the tank to the job and provides situations where each tank can shine to the best of their abilities.
