So basically strip the tanks of any flavor they have; Remove all the nuance of being one and be forced into a support role. While healers can run around full dps with all the benefits? Really. BO has some great morals the ones you mention have saved my team numerous times and have even won SC's for us.
Moving hold the line to a moral? Why. Its one of the bread and butter abilities of a tank, might as well make guard a moral too right? Lord Ill stop tanking if you do this. I like my BO how he is and he is strong, but not broken. I run sword and board for the defenses and the morals and abilities I've chosen are for benefiting my team. These changes would legitamantlly ruin the BO at least on moral side. Why remove an AOE silence on a moral 3? Its strong and can make a difference, all you're doing is taking away from tanks with no compensation. Moving Raze to moral 3 was already dumb, now requiring a two handed weapon to use? That would kill the skill.
Swordmaster can keep his leap, but give a destro tank either a leap or a charge. Then its even Steven; But stripping classes of unique morals is not the way to go. As for immaculate defense? Its taken because we don't have to spec to get it; And a lot the final tier Moral 4's are not worth using a skill point for. This won't change, Ill just not use moral 4 and stick 3 or lower. Make all morals free and replace in the skill tree with powerful final skills worth taking, im sure you would see other T4 morals used if they were more accessible. But no joke if you go about stripping people of their cool, and unique toys people will leave. Tanks already have a stigma shot toward them as useless meat walls, this would only further that.
Some ideas are ok; But a lot this tells me you don't know anything about being a "Real" tank. Because these abilities are insanely strong and can help a group, sometimes like I said they turn the tables and can shift a battle. Which is a tanks job, we aren't support we are the lead. We take charge, we push in and we are the ones who ensure the victory as healers support us and dps try to kill what we CC and debuff. But stripping of us our toys and leaving healers and dps with theirs? Nah im not about that. Some could use tweaks but the majority mentioned here are fine, I wouldn't suggest implementing this change.
