Oh Square Enix… (A Heartfelt Open Letter To The Developers…)

[Lyth]

I think some people just don't want us to object so loudly, in the hopes that things stay the way they are. The courteous thing to do is to complain quietly in the corner.

After all, tank (im)balance is the best it's ever been! You're fine the way you are. I don't actually play your job, and I might not have bothered to unlock it, level it, or tried to raid on it, but trust me, it's fine. It's just 300 dps. That's like what, 2% [sic] of your dps? Your single target stoneskin definitely makes up for it. <insert throwaway comments about "superior design" and higher difficulty here> We haven't heard that one before, have we?

Everyone's been afraid of nerfs since the start of SB, when the devs started being more hands on with balance changes. They worry that if DRK's issues get addressed, it's going to negatively impact the other two tanks. What people don't realise is that it's in everyone's best interest to have a variety of options when it comes to their tanks, rather than having one or two must-picks. Let's make DRK equally desirable to groups again. Bring the player, not the job.
