How do we feel about tank damage right now?

Sorry never meant to imply that I thought engagement inherently meant damage, more so that damage potential can create a form of engagement, and if a player finds that as their means of engagement no other player has any real reason to say they are wrong to feel that way. Engagement can mean different things, for different players. I personally would rather have more reactive / active defensive skills, but my personal view changes like that are harder and more risky to implement in the sense can they make every active skill unique for each tank while being effective and thus not leading the community to alienate tank? Personally I do not think so, tanks are in a weird spot for me, they are well balanced but for the most part I find the ones I use to enjoy most DRK and WAR sorely lacking in terms of how they play, I still enjoy certain aspects like TBN, and while clunky I do appreciate the idea behind Nascent Flash.

This is also where my opinion differs greatly from many I do not believe complexity necessarily has to lead to higher numbers, say if they kept the damage balance the same as it is now and they made two of the tank rotations more involved, while I am sure SE would get a lot of complaints I would have no issue with it, and I would welcome it. I think it is okay for games to have jobs that require more effort for similar output for the sake of balance, but have those classes that require more effort for those that simply to put in more effort. Now this creates a lot of problems which tanks to pick, how does one define complexity, what is the difference between 1 - 2 - 3 and just 1-2 things like that. Once again I am in a different boat them most since I had a blast with the dark arts spam of SB, and cleric stance from HW.

Guess what I am trying to say is I know their are other things SE could do to make tanks more engaging to play, but I do not see them doing it and so I go with the next best thing that has provided me with a sense of engagement which was damage.
