    Mobs should hit harder. If a tank has around 50k max HP, then tankbusters should do around 80-90k and tank stance should reduce damage by 50%.
    Do you off tank with grit turned on? Couldn't we just turn on tank stance for the tank buster?

    If normal attacks also do twice the damage, you'll keep your tank stance active to keep your HP as high as possible when the TB comes.

    But they dont want to scale attack power with vit, the so called main stat because of hp inflation.

    If the past meta sucks so bad, and nobody is pleased, and SE is tired of using str accessories, All they really have to do is make cooldowns like rampart scale with BIT either by making them a flat potency based on vit stat or something. Then the community would value the use of vit for things like mitigation, just like strength currently voosts how much healing clemency or equilibrium gives you.

    If normal attacks do twice the damage, you're looking at typically surviving tankbusters with huge margins because an AA can always go off simultaneously with the TB and you have to be prepared accordingly. Overall, unless AA lockouts are inserted, you'd only see less dynamics and more RNG frustrations in the tanking experience, merely offset to a higher HP amount where your active mitigation or "skill" has less to do with your survival. Accompanied, of course, by lost contribution and enmity control, unless AP were to scale with Vitality (and, in the long run, only Vitality).
