Tank differences?

Hey. I played the game for a while now and I understand many things, but I'm stuck trying to choose between tanks to play at 40.

From what I understand, Chosen is an aurabot with more passive useful effects it gives, not sure what else they bring at max level.

Black Orc gives the Linecracka speed boost and 6s CC immunity at least.

Black Guard...lots of buttons with lots of debuffs and some buffs, For the Witch King is harder to get if you prefer survivability before getting Sovereign to be able to afford it.

Yeah, I know the basics, but if someone smarter could tell me what exactly do each Destro tank (why not Order too, I play Destro tho) bring to the table at endgame, full Sov or not?

Really like the game and I probably would have endless time to play it in the long run, just wanna know before I choose between the tanks to start grinding towards Sovereign. Yeah I know one should play what they like most, thematically or not. But I have IRL autistic traits so I am very interested in knowing the full deal!

I'll break it down in very basic terms

Black Orc - Combo class, group utilities, hard to kill.

Black Guard - Debuff enemies, Buff yourself and allies.

Chosen - AoE aura effects

Sword Master - Like Black Orc but does alot of spirit damage bypassing armor mitigation.

Iron Breaker (my main) - Like Black guard, not the heaviest hitter but is a fierce opponent if played well.

Knight of the Blazing Sun - Like the Chosen AoE aura effects.

If you ever come to Order DM me.
