Put VIT back in Tank Damage Calculation.

[BigRed5392]

tbh i think dps players need to start using their enmity reducers more. My g/f is a main tank drk. She loves tenacity, and melds it. her anima even had high tenacity. And had no real damage issue. Her issue is enmity. No matter how often she spams unleash or abyssal drain, she still looses hate to a sam rdm blm mnk nin. More so if they are solo killing in an aoe situation, and don't use their enmity kills. ultimatum sucks as it is just baby flash.

all dps have enmity reducers or skills that switch enmity. My g/f and I rarely see ninja use shade walker or smoke screen, we rarely see rdms use Lucid dreaming or diversion.
People expect too much of tanks, they need tanks with high deeps, tanks to tank no damage, and tanks who never loose hate. But no one is stepping up to be a teamplayer and helping out.

thats my 2 gil from watching my g.f play. Bad enough ppl are getting poor attitudes in dungeons but thats for another thread.


in my honest opinion, tanks need their damage to scale with vit, every class has their damage scaled to their main state, why not tanks scale with vit? it with help them gerate more aggro, making it easier to hold hate.

if not, lower the enmity dps generate. tanks gave enmity+ skills... yet they do next to nothing unless spammed. My g/f was worried this was gonna happen. And is dealing with the flack ppl have in df over the changes.

This right here. If DPS is everyone's responsibility, then so should enmity. We all have tools now for enmity just like we do for DPS. I don't mind helping DPS in Sword Oath, so show we are together and hit that GCD please.

The reason behind the Vit removal from tank damage is because vit no longer is affected by the death penalty. I know, it doesn't excuse the emnity issues, but theres your reason. the devs just need to adjust the tank stance emnity multiplier, and the problem is fixed.

Damage off of STR....
Enmity off of VIT...

Problem solved, all non-tanks classes have inferior VIT by a bit so it would scale well, hell would maybe even lower the enmity issues for hard hitting classes if the Tank is good.
