How do we feel about tank damage right now?

I'd be pretty annoyed if I had to maintain a rotation, burst windows and plenty of CDs, and still do less damage than some healy boi spamming one button and using two others once or twice per minute.

Would you? I personally respect healers now more than ever, since I dont have the mental fortitude or left-over sanity points to spam (mostly) a single button when I play. /jk

Anyways, that just speaks volumes more about the "complexity" of healer rotation and less about tank dps. I think it was kinda stated by Yoshi and gang sometime around SB launch, that rotational complexity does not scale to damage done when they design things (see SAM and RDM... but really just SAM).

Pfft, no need to /jk it, I stopped playing a healer a month ago, it's every bit as boring as you described.

And yeah, I get that being a bit more complex doesn't necessarily make you stronger. But if tanks have four times more things to do to deal damage than healers, then they should be above them. I don't see why tanks and healers do about as much damage, despite one role having to put a LOT more thought into it than the other.
