Dark Knight under review: Feedback to the Developers and Community Team

[whiskeybravo]

I'm on the side of players that feels that a main tank should not be trying to push dps, but instead focus on:

holding aggro on the boss and mobs

Press button.

mitigating party damage

Press button.

mitigating damage on himself

Press button.

moving the boss around to specific spots

Press button while moving

=============================

This is why players push the limits of what tanks are capable of. It's pretty foolish to think even if you nerf tank dps that people aren't going to find ways to maximize (or scrutinize) it anyways. And besides that, most people who raid want to get better. How are we going to judge if we are getting better or not if our dps is always stuck at 1000 (or whatever)? Did we live? Ok that's enough I guess..

I used to sort of agree, being against the str tanking meta early on in HW (mainly because of unfair cost to tanks compared to everyone else). But now I accept that it's simply much more fun to have options and really trying to push and see what you can do, versus being forced to only play one way all the time.

If you follow the logical conclusions of "tanks should just be tanks" it only ends with a mundane style of play and a lot less tanks in the community.
