That was because the SCH was behind while the WHM was ridding the tanks arses. Meanwhile hey look, the top tank is almost 6k behind the lowest DPS...Quote:

Why did the conversation shift to healers shouldn't be dealing damage? The argument was using helaers as a measuring stick to say "hey look! Tanks have fallen so far that healers are riding our arses in DPS"
How do we feel about tank damage right now?

What part of that arguement says "hey healers are doing too much???" -
11-17-2019, 04:58 AMKabooaBecause the OP constantly says healers shouldn't be dealing as much damage as tanks, despite completely ignoring how much harder they have to work for it.Quote:

So if difficulty should determine how much damage they should do, well, healers should win out in spades when compared to tanks. Sorry. -
11-17-2019, 05:01 AMRisvertasashiA number of people took umbrage to that very fact, and thus the conversation shifted to more or less 'How dare SE let healers do similar damage.'Quote:

I could be wrong as I only skimmed through the last few pages but all I have seen is people that would like to see tank damage increased, there were comparisons to healer damage not requests for nerfs.Quote:

The great irony of tanks asking for "more damage contribution" and disguising it is as such is that it inherently takes it away from the other two roles. -
11-17-2019, 05:59 AMRhaisThe whole contention of the thread is that tanks are currently doing too little, that they have been nerfed, that they have had their contribution diminished already.Quote:
