BLASTWAVE

I enjoy my SM/Shield Brute.....with Stamina, Superior Conditioning and Physical Perfection you should be good. On mine I also have a Miracle proc, a Numi proc and 2 Perfromance shifters chance for end procs. Also softcapped to Melee, Range and Aoe.

I am all for changing Shockwave from Knockback to Knockdown.

The Taunt for Dark Melee on Tanks now makes a Taunt sound. Also noticed while playing my Shield/Axe Tank that the Taunt sound is different and if you are holding both your shield and axe when taunting they make a metal on metal clanging sound.

Before re-inventing the wheel...fix aggro control, 1) all Tanker aggro arua's should be compairable to Chilling Embrace when holding aggro. 2) If the aggro cap is 16 then Taunt for Tanks should taunt 16.

Not seeing Mace/Axe juggle when Taunting everytime is a side effect of the changes made to Taunt to match the Dark Melee Taunt, from patch notes:
Taunt: All Taunt power animations have been slightly adjusted. They will now root the player for the same amount of time and take the same amount of time to 'hit' a target. The timing was normalized around Dark Melee's taunt, which was the quickest activating version, so this equates to a minor buff for most versions of taunt and provoke.
