Making Jobs Rotationally Easier in 4.0

[Brian_]

You're right, it's so much better to keep the actual dungeon & raid design. It didn't do any damage in the raiding community...But I guess that since you did okay, everybody else must be crybabies who complained for nothing.

What did damage to the raiding community is hardly related to your biased delusions about how tanks should be designed because one PLD got carried through A11N while only spamming RoH.

Yeah, and the first time someone climbs the eighth step in a stair, it's too difficult...unless one learned how to climb up to the seventh...

Except your seventh step is on a different stairway. Raid content is not the same as dungeon content -- even the hardest dungeon content. Dungeon content doesn't teach you how to tank swap. It doesn't teach you how to OT. It can't teach you some of the finer coordination needed to help your raid survive damage.

So, you're perfectly fine describing a PLD spamming RoH as an acceptable "entry level tank" ? I thought you had far higher standards than that.

I'm not fine with it. I've voiced my criticism of SE's PvE progression model in more relevant topics. However, I'm not like you and don't falsely correlate 1 person's poor performance in irrelevant content to my biased delusions about how a job should be changed to match my personal fantasy.

What they said in your quote...is basically not saying much. They gave more info during the live letter at Fanfest, but, saddly we don't have a summary source for now.

It's saying exactly what Yoshida said. They're scaling the jobs back to the basics and reducing the amount of things you need to micromanage. That's pretty definitive and clear. Their actions since have only proved such motivations. That idea is very relevant to tanks and the changes we might receive.
