It's almost like you weren't supposed to be tanking in a dps stance. Le Gasp!
This would indirectly affect bloodbath and equilibrium most directly, and will affect second wind as well. This also makes some of the pulls that could be done in deliverance with a combination of berserk, internal release, vengeance, and bloodbath might be a little less viable dependent on if your DPS are hitting single targets or doing true aoe DPS. Before the patch it didn't matter as hate generated was enough to stave off either and the healing that came through was rather large.
sigh...
You mean people played to the meta that the game created?!?! GASP!
This drivel is ridiculous. Why can't people understand that SE has just changed a portion of a job that many played for various reasons and that a percentage of that group will be upset at the difference. It's inevitable and not really unwarranted. Things change in MMO's and people adapt, but when you change how a job base functions for a group then there is bound to be backlash, even if you do or do not agree with the change.
The fact of the matter is that indeed I'm not at all happy with the change. However, I will change and adapt to the situation. The meta has changed, and now more than ever good DPS are gonna be even more important to a raid group than ever before. DPS who are willing to push the boundaries of play will be needed, before that was needed of tanks. So, those of us that play jobs that push the boundaries of what can and can't be done, and thus not constrained to a label of role, will be pushing into other jobs for everyone's benefit. Maybe instead of being antagonistic all the time about how the meta made everyone who was in tank stance sporting vit gear before the patch in four mans correct. You could be offering alternatives to the styles of play that pushed STR tanks into being such a trend.
So basically, what the DPS should have done since the start - Performing well and to improve yourself to get even better, without being a deadweight to the others?The fact of the matter is that indeed I'm not at all happy with the change. However, I will change and adapt to the situation. The meta has changed, and now more than ever good DPS are gonna be even more important to a raid group than ever before. DPS who are willing to push the boundaries of play will be needed, before that was needed of tanks.
