Please Restrict tank classes from wearing strength jewelry.

At the end of the day, a tank's primary duty is to soak up damage. I have no issue with them dishing out damage as a secondary affair but they should not be able to reach similar numbers to pure DPS classes.

It causes a mess, too, since 'famous' players do it and cause others inspired by them to follow in their footsteps even if they're far from capable of pulling off such bold decisions flawlessly.

This a million times this. My Gravity spamming adds more DPS than your STR acces add. Just survive longer so I can DPS longer.

That being said, PLDs who are not afraid to heal themselves with clemency, we healers LOVE YOU!!!!

And then you don't have enough health to survive the cast time. Seeeeeeeeee, even more reason against it.

So, legit question here because I'm curious about your thoughts. Do you feel that tanks should stay in "tank stance" for the duration of all fights too then? It's basically the same argument, and there is a ton of benefit when it comes to stance dancing.

Again, I'm talking mainly boss, raid, EX and not dungeon mass pulls.

There's no content in the game that melts your health so fast that you can't even get a Clemency off, even in full strength, outside of the ridiculous super-pulls you can do in some of the leveling dungeons.

And when was the last time you saw other tanks doing single-group pulls?

Honestly, if the tank is being dropped in like 3-4 hits on a 3 pack, they were probably doing a lot more wrong than just wearing STR accessories.

I understand and accept that tanks (at least my raid tanks) will use STR jewelry for as long as they're better than tank jewelry. All that matters is that they have enough HP to survive tank busters -- at least for high end groups. More STR(DPS) is more beneficial to the raid group than excess HP. That said, it wouldn't bother me if they restricted the STR jewelry. :P I lived through 2.0 and had my fill of STR tanks.

Because eventually they will be ostracized, duty finder groups will kick them out, they won't be able to continue progressing and they will either wear the gear that allows them to succeed, or they will switch to playing DPS and remove themselves from the already low tank pool.

I just wanted to say I agree with the idea in the past. I liked when communities policed players behavior. The advent of a computer forming groups mean those players will continue to make others lives miserable for as long as they play a sub. So i try to que with players I know. In this day in age you don't expect a hot mess from the duty finder should probably have yourself checked out.


Also to the people "I need the dps for hate." No you don't if SE will just keep adjusting Savage Blade
Enmity effect has been increased. Flash
Enmity effect has been increased.It is just as easy for them to adjust that. In fact it keeps tanks better off since you get the hate increase automatically with patch while dps have to gear.
