Poll for yellow guard

[Fermongu]

Would you like yellow specialization to go away and be only an utility line, like brawlers/minstrel?

Yes! All players that know how to tank for real, trait blue tree with 1-hand & shield, for maximum agro then use only the bonus points on yellow to improve defenses. When they are solo questing they trait red tree with 2-hand weapon for maximum damage, then use bonus points on AOE damage. Yellow tree on guard is already being treated as an utility line, so best to make it official.

All the poll shows is the player base lack of faith in SSG to actually fix yellow line. If yellow line could actually be saved and be fun like it was WAY back in the day, I think everyone would be for it. We can't dps, tank, or debuff with any seriousness in yellow line. If you could off tank or dps while debuffing I think players would feel different. For instance, a champ should bring more dps than a guard, but perhaps a yellow guard can grab the adds, not die, and help keep squishy dps and healers alive. Yes stricktly speaking that is a tanks job, but when mobs rush in, it would be nice to have an off tank of sorts that can stay alive and keep the adds busy. If you want a blue guard when the boss hits like a truck. You should want a yellow guard when healing isn't the problem and tanking isn't the problem, but LM +burg debuffs aren't enough to keep everyone else up. And yes there are a small number of cases where you want aoe and additional debuffs, but yellow guards should fill that roll. Bringing a champ would be faster, but a yellow guard would be safer. But as I said, we can't really aoe dps, debuff, or tank in yellow at the moment. And don't really have confidence that SSG can fix it, but if they could it would be awesome.
