Why having a dedicated MT and dedicated OT is a TERRIBLE idea

[whiskeybravo]

Every tank feels good to play in MT and OT already, the main difference is pulling right now, and if you don't remember it in 4.0 every tank pull equally everything, but 4.2 come and we return to the WAR Pull meta thanks to SE to listen the ones that want unchained being free.

That's a pretty shifty statement. The WAR community wanted Unchained and Inner Release to not share a timer. Nobody said it had to be free from cost. The original gauge cost to activate IR wasn't an issue, either, it worked fine within the burst duration time frame.

BTW, I've been tanking more on PLD recently. No problems whatsoever pulling in Sword.

separate unchained from inner release is asking to remove the dps lose that represents bcs the main complaing was the dps waste for using unchained instead of save it the timer on a inner release, that make WAR get the best agro pull since make it have and still have the costless pull of the game thanks to that, DRK keep his DA+power slash buffed, and PLD keep his low rage of halone potency, DRK get buffed finally but pretty late at 4.4 so that leaves PLD being the worse not by desing hearing "all surrounded by familiar faces..."

i dont have problems pulling with PLD either, but after WAR and DRK buffs on that field well it make it feel worse that it really is.

You seem to be getting into the habit of labelling posts that you disagree with as dishonest. I'm all for having a good debate, but let's keep these attacks out of it.

Players asked for several different things with regards to Unchained, Inner Release, Shake it off, and WAR's stance costs. Whose fault was it? Was it the prominent streamers who campaigned for it? The playerbase which echoed and copypasted those demands? Or the devs for actually listening? It's hard to say, but I didn't see any WAR players arguing that the changes were too powerful after the fact.

Regardless of how you want to spin it, they were a bad set of decisions. As far as tank balance goes, anything that erodes WAR's set of systemic advantages built over Heavensward and Stormblood and brings tanks into parity is going to be a good thing. Anything that puts checks and balances such that no one tank is good at everything is going to be a good thing.

Besides, if you're a half decent player, you won't need that sort of crutch to be desirable, anyways.
