Maybe it's just me, but the GF tab ability is completely worthless after you get Threatening Rush. Tab takes longer, only affects one target, and has no added benefits.
Seems to me that the class feature should retain usefulness through all the levels... you know, like every other class. Kinda flawed design to completely replace the class feature with an at-will that performs better.
I'm kinda thinking that the class feature should be changed before it's too late... as in, before the 20th.
Tab is a simple pull skill. I even think it's our only pulling skill. It's use is very situational but it's safer to use than to run up to a group and run back if a second group is close.
Is it pull+threat? Or just a pull? *havent played a GF yet*
If it doesnt add threat, it should.
It does add threat, but only the same threat as one of our At-WIlls, and the At-Will applies it in an AoE instead of a single target. It's useful for pulling, but I find it more useful to use the At-Will to just rush into the pack so I can get off a force-taunt on the whole pack.

Actually, based on the tooltip (at least what it used to be - I haven't finished patching) marking itself does not add threat. You increase the amount of threat caused by other abilities on that target.
TAB on GF is only useless, he has better skills to use. i never need TAB and i want a other TAB skill...

lvl 30? that's excessive use. I have never found it useful in any situation at all except for a pull maybe which is not by far its intended use. In actual fact my GF is lvl 60 11k GS and I had to look up what the tab did because I had forgot that's how pathetically useless it is.

Same here. I use the Tab skill to pull mobs from range back to the group. Face pulling isn't a good tanking tactic...
