If tank damage is now based on VIT, why do healers still have Cleric Stance?

[Lexia]

The same reason all tanks still have stances. You can't do everything at once, and you need to use stance abilities at the right time to focus on what is needed in the fight.

Say goodbye to tank stance because I will never use it again.

If things weirdly remain the same (ie bosses are still doing Final Coil level damage to tanks at 60 in significantly higher ilvl gear), then tank stance would be essentially useless. However, I hope that SE is smart enough to make adjustments to boss damage to compensate for the higher HP expectations.

I don't think the is final coil level damage in the last 2 floors of savage right now... Are you serious? Even in Thordan we have way more than final coil level damage.

Manipulator and Living Liquid both auto for as much as Bahamut does. There's a reason people are sitting out of tank stance 99% of those fights. If you think that player skill has gone up so high that we've reached the point where despite damage being exceptionally high (apparently) we can spend near entire Savage fights out of tank stance in near full STR accessories... I don't know what to tell you.

Funny, because Liquid crits like a mofo on his autoattacks

So does Bahamut! Also Liquid gives you resistance down stacks, which increases his overall damage. But that's what tank swaps are for~~
