Making Jobs Rotationally Easier in 4.0

I see absolutelly no issues to tanks dpsing, it is in the basics. You are a melee fighter, you wanna grab attention? Gotta cause enough pain and fear for that, that means damage. The only reason tanks grab attention is thanks to cheap artificial fear called enmity, if you wanna know what is true fear, talk to my fellow Black Mages, they know what is true solid fear.

What the.. Have you heard of balance?

If a tank did as much damage as regular dps, what would be the point of bringing any actual dps? You can just have tanks wrecking whatever you're up against and never die due to their superior defense. Probably wouldn't even need healers with a couple PLD for Clemency.

So, your point is rather invalid. DPS and healers need the tank to be a damage sponge. Tanks need healers to stay alive and need dps to clear content.. Without that balance you'd have basically one class with which everything could be done. Way to make it interesting..

Respectfully, I disagree with this blanket statement.

Warrior being harder to play than the other tanks doesn't mean they aren't superior. Granted, I personally find DRK a bit more difficult to master than War. But they have everything. Good damage mitigation, increased base HP, increased healing rec'd, self heals, debuffs to improve raid dps and decrease raid damage taken, interesting stack management mechanics, and the highest damage output of the 3. Hallowed ground is practically the only thing better than what the other 2 tanks have. It's true each has their own advantage and disadvantage per encounter, but nearly every group raids with at least 1 war and doesn't care which tank the other is. That should be a slight indication of their superiority if nothing else.
