A PSA to all upset tank players

[Lewtskie]

...

Been leveling WAR, getting back into tanking. I haven't tanked since mid-ARR so I was never part of the super-WAR era, and I can tell while leveling WAR that something was/is wrong. Unlike the other two tanks who have a stance that mitigates damage, ours is dependent on healing. Our standard mitigation was always through sustain with IB SP and BB, and offensive force was necessary for that sustain. Had we lost STR but gained natural potency in the sustain, we would have been fine; but we lost both power and sustain, and I've sure been feeling it. And I don't play risky; I'm still pretty nervous so I keep myself in Defiance, and while no wipes yet there have been some iffy moments.

If IB started costing less, maybe just 40 rather than 50, just so we could keep a longer chain of sustain and mitigation going, that'd probably help tons. Also having BB back, that would be a godsend. I'm not worried about damage, I just wanna actually feel like a grizzly bear, but right now I feel like a build-a-bear.

Also don't value your sense of pride on other's opinions. If you feel proud doing or being a thing, great, but not if its at the whim of someone other than yourself. Be more committed than that.

PLD hate is dumb. LOL. They have been absolutely GARBAGE compared to DRK and WAR for a long time even excluded from raid groups because of their lack of mitigation against Magic Damage. They get a buff and people start crying. Let them have a bit of time in the spot light ffs. quit crying.

I'm in agreement with others here, I don't understand why it's such a great thing when one Tank clearly holds dominion over others. True that perfect balance can never be achieved, but I don't believe you should be cursing under your breath when your preferred tank is on the bottom only to then cheer and berate others when its then on top. The spotlight effect should not be condoned or celebrated.
