DRK needs a revision

[Kaedan]

They are purposefully making it more of a hassle to "stance dance" because stance dancing was never an intended gameplay mechanic for DRK. Hell, that's why they put it on the GCD and added an unattractive MP cost to Grit in the first place.

That's not to say that they don't expect you to drop out of Grit for certain times or mechanics while tanking... but that's a far cry from stance dancing.

the devs just gona have to get over like what they expect people to do and let people just play and enjoy the game.

Now why can't the players do the same?

That or change the root issues that develop in people playing that way. But much like healer DPS and large pulls in dungeons they seem to want to go about it the wrong way.

Other than jobs pull out more DPS, which is half the problem.

Also, do you seriously want LESS tanks in already bad queue times with the release of more DPS? This is not the solution to or problem. It's balance.

As I always say, tank players go DPS because they are being forced to do dps by the community. When a DPS player is bashed for doing low dps, he generally doesn't care what people say, because he is still having fun.

Meh! Can't enjoy the game from a tank perspective if the community bases the player for staying in tank stance. I would wish the developers forced the tank stance on us.

That would be terrible.

Removing choice or taking away options is never good design.

Well, in reality, there is only ever Right or Wrong choice, when it comes to rotations.

In short, the only correct option is to max out our DPS.
So by making encounters need it more, its just going with the other option.

Nothing really changes in the number of options.
Instead, its more about the extra needed skill to judge when or when not to stance dance.
