This is not game for you than
You want game where you do not need to think at all where you can reroll any stats and skill whenever you want
In short any of countless wow clones
And as Highlander you have Strike attacks as well, unless you do not read your skill descriptions at all.
Do not want to taunt ? No one forces you, it will be harder to get random party though. I have friend which do not have taunt, but you know he have friends. Like me we does not care about super optimal builds and play together. So maybe find a few friends to help you leveling up ?
Btw my 1st swordie is far from optimal but have no problem with any content, can tank any boss and was able to solo most dungeon bosses at lvls when dungeon become aviable and if I am on map where most mobs are resistant to my Z attack (pierce) I can either just wait for skill CDs and use those or switch weapon on skill cd to different one
You know Two weapon slot sets ?
Try to use them.
