Boss Autoattack Damage and FFXIV's Tanking Meta

[Kerrath]

Ir Will be complety imposible, the amount of actual cds we have its so big that we never run out of colddowns with proper tank swap unleash you want the boses focus on dealt tank busters every 10 seconds or less, for no mention when we get more gear the little value the tank stance get (if it get some) will be get down again.

DPS stance Will be always have priority over tank stance unleash you buff the tank stance in a way there is imposible to survive or hold agro without it, adding more tank busters dont solve nothing.

could make tankbusters hit harder instead

Been discussed before, how many tanks actually even use proper CDs on tank busters? You are basically gating contents from these people. I know a lot of tanks raiding atm aren't doing their CD assignment well, some don't even use CDs for whatever reasons.

Same thing as mentioned. You are going to deal with less tanks around, you can't really balance contents based on the hardcore community because they are the main reason why tanking in DPS stance is so popular. You want your game to be popular, you cater to the casual/midcore needs. That's simple business. Not all tanks in DPS stance can even do 80%++ (FFLogs) as well, it's not the game's fault that the players aren't optimizing themselves.

Shirk is the main offender for enmity generation, this single skill is so broken that you never have to worry about aggro that even to the point of not entering tank stance for pulling. Double Shirking is way too powerful.

Edit: This is not just to target 'MTs' that refuse to go DPS stance. Like I can nitpick about OTs doing less dps than their MTs, you can't blame anything else if your dps is lower than MT. You as the OT should be doing more DPS. Why are you even in the OT position if you gonna get outdps-ed by your MT? You aren't optimizing and that's not helping you and your team to be better.

yep thats why any change on tank stances buffing defense or whatever or bosses desing on dealt much more damage will never work on fixing the tank stances.

the only way to make tanking in tank stance popular again is reducing the penalitations or adding mechanics to avoid complety the damage penalty and being able to dealt more or less the same dps in both positions, or something similar on that part, bcs i doubt complety ppl will stay quiet if SE made us face the pentaltys all the time we are in MT, insert here stance dance penalties 4.0

i say its clear idk why all tanks have to have to stance dance, is hilarious who some complaing about homogeniazion and the comunity is the responsable of the one how is pretty unfair in 2 of the tanks.
