SAMURAI SHOWDOWN

So then what's the point of having the ability at all? Does having magic "on" do more damage? Then why would you want that tank for that content if they underperform compared to other tanks? Why would you want the other tanks if that take overperforms for every other content cause "magic on" does more damage comparitively? Will having a BRD make that tank stronger than the others? Once again this broaches numerable new balancing issues thus making the job that much harder to implement.

I answered these on the previous page already but I'll do it again here.

They can always adjust the bosses later on you know, it's not like the abilities are set in stone. If they added a magic damage tank they'd just have to adjust the boss to take magic damage again or for the coil boss not to reflect spells. It's really that simple. As far as the brd goes, in a 4man party if a rdm with a brd does as much damage as a pld or drk with a nin applying the slashing debuff, it's really not that big a deal.

If anything why aren't people complaining about drk technically being able to benefit from the slashing debuff and the brd debuff?

It's all just numbers, devs can tweak and change things however they want to make it work.
