Alternative for tanking... (Staves)

Since the 1h enchantment nerf, competitive tanks are now forced to run lightning staff to keep crusher up via elemental blockade and offbalance.
Why are tanks forced to use a mage's staff for tanking? here is an idea:
Give the tanks the option to stay with a safer double 1h and shield, but have less group utility, or have a risk with a non tank weapon on backbar with more utility with out breaking their image as tanks, how?
TWO HANDED:
And thats it! If people want access to a ranged interrumpt, they can go lightning staff, just like now, but they will have the ability to decide if going 2H or lightning staff.
1h and shield and two handed weapon makes way more sense for tanking than 1h and shield + staff....
What do you guys think?

TWO HANDED:
- Carve (Cleave morph): Buff this skill to apply minor maim, so this becomes the "heroic slash" of the 2H
- Wrecking Blow (Uppercut's useless morph that no one uses): Change this skill to it applies offbalance.

✭More options sounds good!!2000 CP • 18 Maxed Characters • 6 Altmers • 7 Redguards • Necromancer Orc • Warden Dunmer • DK Nord • DK Imperial • Templar Breton0 -
VanLo83✭✭✭Dunno if you already seen this, but when you have a staff on your character equipped and preview a shield from the crown store for example, it looks like your character is both wielding the staff and shield at the same time. Curious if Zeni is working on something extra for staff tanking?0

stevenyaub16_ESO✭✭✭✭Bow has a range interrupt too You can even use it to proc crusher because the dot lasts for 10 seconds.Edited by stevenyaub16_ESO on March 13, 2019 11:34AM1 -
Drako_Ei✭✭✭✭✭Or instead of WB, change critical rush to apply offbalance instead of snare, that would be amazing for tanking1

Drako_Ei✭✭✭✭✭Use Frost Staff. The mitigation is very similar to SnB (only exception is that you lose the resistances from not having a shield) and you have the utility of applying enchants and having a ranged interrupt.
Im just asking for more option, other than heavy armor tanks using a mage's staff, it would make more sense if tanks could access that utility with an actual weapon made out of steelEdited by Drako_Ei on March 13, 2019 12:18PM1
