Healer Enmity increase?

[Ghishlain]

Eh... what? Who lost 15% of their damage now? Overall, my damage has substantially increased as a paladin on account of higher damage ratings on skills, a 5% damage gain in tank stance (previously reduced outgoing damage by 20%, and is now 15%) and vitality now plays a substantial role in damage so anyone who geared for VIT (like, actual tank gear) would have seen vast improvements.

Couple this with the enmity boost gain, and there's no reason tanks should be losing aggro. This goes double for paladins who rely more on Flash than they do on raw DPS to maintain aggro, since it was fixed aggro to start with, and now awards more enmity.

Where is this misinformation about tanks losing damage coming from?

It's actually not misinformation, though to be fair my statement was also only speaking to one branch of the tanking dynamic so I shall rephrase and clarify:

Full VIT turtle tanks gained approximately 10% additional damage due to the tank changes. PLDs gained more due to the class buffs received at the same time.
FUll STR optimized DPS tanks lost approximately 15% damage due to the tank changes.

Though adding to the discussion further - I also agree that healers should be cautious of healing after the robots merge and become Brute Justice because it's considered a new mob and tanks will need to establish hate on said target. I had an amusing sight as a WHM I was partnered up with in A8N decided to pop both Medica II and Assize immediately after the damage went out. I guess they Tetra'd too after my PLD tank Provoke'd Brute Justice because it wouldn't leave the WHM alone, eventually popping "DOUBLUUUUUU ROCKETUUUU PUNCHUUUUUUU" on the WHM and absolutely crushing her >>;

I know I shouldn't be laughing but I was laughing exceptionally hard after I saw it happen as I popped my Swiftcast + Ascend.
