Tank Stances, Traited

[Saziel]

I would love for there to be a greater incentive somehow to make Shield Oath the most important thing for Paladins. I don't do raiding myself, but I hate the idea that a tank is now expected to do insane DPS. That's the antithesis of a tank. I play Paladin to be an insurmountable barrier between me and my party. I'll go play my Samurai or Dragoon if I want to be a damage dealer.

Finaly ! Someone with a brain !

I can't disagree with Saziel, Tank are not supposed to do massive damage to an enemy, and when i saw all of this tank that go through massive pack of mobs without tank stance, i can't understand why they do this... They put their healer in an extremely Stressful state, and if the heal isn't good, they die, and they don't even learn from this. And after that you can see some of this tank raging, like it's the healer fault for not healing the tank correctly...

Too few risks with too much reward. That's the point : If, a Tank looses less than he gains to turn out to a DPS machine, then the healer will also loose less than she should, and the overall damage is increased.

Risk vs reward is not ajusted when you loose 20% to gain 40%.

That's why I think boss damage should be increasing and Tank stance buffed to 50% damage reduced (Or +100% HP, +100% healing received for WAR)
