Why not just give us some natural traits/JA's that make dealing dmg easier? That way we can go back to tanking the way we've been tanking all along.

At this point I'd settle for Fencer naturally.
I agree (and still no clue why atonement got such a nerf to begin with especially since dd can easily do well over 2k ws) looking at past ff games pld usually have been a good source of dmg and defense. Although if they would still need to balance pld as to not out do the dd, but a far as i can see it right now as long as you can get a dd that can hold hate and survive easy enough, even if you make it easier for pld to hold hate a dd will still be the chosen tank.
