What they mean by "change the damage calculations of tanks"?

[Syzygian]

Am i the only one that sees the irony in people threatening to ragequit the game if tank dps is nerfed by a function of it potentially not being optimal to be running around in full slaying gear anymore?

The hysteria ensuing from entertaining the idea of the devs literally halving tank dps (wholly unrealistic) only serves to add more and more bitter salt to a thread that is rapidly derailing. Lets try and stay realistic and stop catastrophizing as though your dps is a stained glass window to be imminently shattered.
