Yoshi P's Stance on Pld

[Faeon]

Well, technically, you can, by adjusting the support they need...
But WAR is already too high. Since its DPS is the highest of the three tanks, its dedicated healer shouldn't have time to do damage and should be 100% on healing duty.
But don't we dare suggesting to nerf WAR's mitigation...

I don't think WAR needs any nerf at all, I do feel the other tanks to be brought in line to each other, does not have to be equal but the difference is currently to large, especially in a game that's focus is on DPS, and that will never change, if the party did not need a tank they would opt for dps.

The problem is that tanks only do two things

• Survive
• Damage

Yes, they also gain enmity, but most of the time, it's not really an issue on its own

Since every tank is already sturdy enough to tank every content (Which is a good thing) while allowing healers to do great damage (Which is....kinda odd), increasing mitigation is mostly irrelevant...up to the point when one tank doesn't need a dedicated healer...which can bring a whole new set of issues.
Increasing damage is a solution, but since they purposely designed WAR to be the "tank that DPS", it would negate its very purpose to bring PLD (And DRK) on par.

In a way, the DPS from the tank doesn't really matter. It's the overall DPS that allows to pass the DPS check. And since DPS don't bother with tanks, it means adjusting the mitigation of tanks will increase/decrease healers DPS. And again, I think WAR's mitigation gives far too much room for healers to DPS.

Honestly, since PLD was supposed to be the "tank that mitigates," I don't even think that should be an issue at this point.

For me, it is.
It's not because PLD lacks identity that WAR should suffer the same. Tanks akready plays too close to each other
