Tank Stances, Traited

[Dio_Tiferet]

If your tank stance would make you take half damage (or increase HP and healing received by 100%) all the time, we wouldn't be looking at "few healer's GCD"

That would not matter as long as the enemies do not enforce tankstance and doing so would mean having to completely rework every enemy and that is not going to happen.

With 50% mitigation on stance you might as well remove every defensive cooldown in the game.

Why is that ?

Why is that ?

Because tanks or not going to use tankstance unless they are forced to and incoming tank damage would have to be increased significantly for that and not in the shape of boss abilities since we can use defensive cooldowns for those.

That's not true. If using tank stance allows the same overall raid DPS (Just spread differently), then it's just a personal preference of you (and the healer) as who should push its DPS while the other only focus on its core responsibility.

50% mitigation on tankstance would break the entire game and everything would be easy so no bad idea.

Also if tankstance wont make a dps difference then there is no point in having it in the first place.

The situation you are describing is simply put unrealistic.

No. Having lots of mitigation doesn't help you kill things or deal with mechanics...in case the current state of tank stance hadn't proved it already.

Actually if tank stance dont have any negative impact on dps It Will be work extremly good to keep the agro and mitigate damage plus being able to be balanced with new mechanics in the future.

You cant balance things around the future in a game that already has like what 4-5 years worth of content?

The stuff you guys are asking for would only be reasonable if all the content got changed to match it.

Playstyle preference. Some tank are more comfortable playing it safe.
And I'm pretty sure more people would both play in Savage and play tanks if they knew they can focus on their job as long as they're paired with an "agressive" healer.

No, you just have to look at tank's DPS in and out of tank stance and healer's DPS and tweak the stance little by little until those two compensate.
