I get that people are dissatisfied with tanks right now ( I'm especially disappointed with how DRK turned out) but is clamoring for the previous vit damage scaling or implementing a similar mechanic to increase DPS really the best solution to this? As you mentioned right now we need to see what the future holds to know if subpar dps will indeed be an issue. And SE heavily implied that this dps reduction was intentional. So why fervently continue to oppose this? Can we not just ask SE to give us a class redesign to make them more fun without resorting to DPS if they insist on the traditional tank model?
But at the end of the day I guess it is SEs fault for giving tanks a taste of that juicy dps meta. And I guess it is the players choice to adapt or to desire the previous meta. Just sad for me that people would rather have a dps tank than ask SE to redesign tanks to be more fun while being more in line with traditional mmo tanks
