Like, what kind of fantasy is it when they design a TANK that's focused around "Don't hit me, hit someone else >.<"? Isn't that kind of support more traditionally used for Healers? Where they aid and protect people whom are being attacked, while they themselves keep safe too?
You're joking, right?

Every time these forums bring up feedback for a tank it's always about damage. It's almost never about doing more traditionally tank things. it's about doing more damage. it's about more interesting damage rotations. Anytime tanking accessories come up, it's never about designing encounters or tanks so that scaling defenses and health are useful, it's -always about damage-.

When Dark Knight was considered suboptimal, the requests were split between having their defense fixed, -and doing more damage-. They wanted Reprisal and Low Blow back -to do more damage-.

In this very topic and others like it, the concern about MT/OT splits is not being able to play the tank you want, primarily because the assumed "Meta" will be OT/OT because it's assumed they'll do the most -damage-.

Every time a change gets suggested, it's almost always in the vein of more damage, even when it's more "cleverly veiled" around fairness or equity.
