Boss Autoattack Damage and FFXIV's Tanking Meta

[MyaValentine]

in ff14 you have the option of going into DPS stance, where you take more damage and do less threat, but are rewarded with more dps. in wow, no such option exists. you just kinda sit there and it doesn't really matter that much what order you press your buttons in because you'll still have aggro anyway.

sounds to me then that ff14 is doing it righ then. you mention that the damage penalty is what makes tank stance bad, then what do you want? do you want ff14 become wow mindless tanking? I do like that we have a dps penalty while a bit too much I do like the trade off. so what do you sugest will imporve tank stance beside taking off the damage penalty.
