I think too AA was made to be more of en evil tanking guild, similar to Neidars of the goodies in a way. However i think people expected it to be like the old AA which was more about go out an pulp as much as you can... or whatever it was about..?

An AA with a mage behind their backs for damage sounds pretty nasty to me...

I would like to see tanking AAs with BDAs for offensive power running around, similar to the the Neidar-Calian combo goodies have.
