Are there more tanks playing now?

Hard to want to tank because we wield huge weapons that should be doing major damage per swing. But uh we don't. And hard to call yourself a tank in itself if a lot of junk in HW dungeons hit hard and you are entirely reliant on a healer to maintain your tank status.

It's really telling when we just sit at 20-25k HP while we have NPC's like Aymeric cruising at a nice old 243k. And don't get me started on the bosses either.

I only truly feel like a tank whenever I run lvl 40 dungeons unsynced at 60. Otherwise it's use defensive skill so I don't die from Tankbuster move and let healer patch up all my missing health. There is little satisfaction in that entirely due to my thoughts that a tank if mitigating with their abilities should barely take any real damage at all and be able to withstand a heavy hit without the use of an ability. Otherwise I feel like every general encounter as a Tank class is one giant seesaw. It's so jaded and archaic. Really hard for me to enjoy.

And the blanket DPS nerf for all Tank classes made all 3 take a heavy hit. No matter what you say. DRK and WAR will just feel it more then the PLD will.
