Agree with Kal's point, I had the same experience with DH.

I can understand that happening in games like WoW, but you have the ease of a mouse and WASD for movement.

Judging from the screenshot, I'm assuming that's the Commando, which is the bear right?

Attacking from that far as a tank, and having taunt skills, it makes me think that tanking in the game would actually be more like kiting. Just a guess though. Either that, or the bird/mage equivalent in B* would have a lot of range? Or the tanks themselves would still attack from a melee distance despite having a ranged weapon.
