Gauntlet even more broken? Gee, shock.

If Fury were ever breaking things like that, you'd see heads roll. |
Throwing darts at the board to see if something sticks.....
Come show your resolve and fight my brute!
Tanks: Gauntlet, the streak breaker and you!

How exactly is gauntlet broken?

While I'm not sure how it's "broken" in relation to procs; I believe, as per my signature, Gauntlet is somehow inserting itself into tanks' to-hit rolls. As someone who plays all the ATs, I have yet to see the same to-hit roll anomalies on any other AT.

Gauntlet was causing the new "PPM procs" to count Tanker ST attacks as AoE attacks, driving down their proc rate and punishing them for not really being AoE. This was supposed to have been fixed (and was fixed on Live for a while) but Sylph claims it's back. I've not done any testing to confirm or deny this.|

Gauntlet making Tanker ST attacks count as AoE is also driving down [Doublehit] values for Tankers using Hybrid Assault Radial when the values are supposed to be uniform across all ATs.

How would I actually express the 'world of cardboard speech' as a mechanic for Tankers?
Well, I think it should be focused on unloading damage to a single target. As I said before, I don't think Tankers cutting down droves of mooks or being AoE machines is fitting for them conceptually. That should be Brute and Scrapper territory.
The ability also wouldn't work well on Minions and Lieutenants. It's meant for the hard targets, like Bosses and up.
So, how about this: a 150s fixed recharge click that for 5 seconds puts a "Marked for Defeat" on any Boss or above that you Bruise. The target will stay "Marked" for 150s or until it's defeated. Any Tankers, including yourself, who attack a "Marked" target will [Doublehit] it for bonus damage.
