How do we feel about tank damage right now?

Let's be honest, they removed aggro management because the majority of the casual playerbase were complete and irrevocably too stupid to mitigate their own aggro by pressing one or two buttons throughout their opener and then on cooldown subsequently after that, so SE made it easy for the idiots by removing aggro management from the game. So don't know where this delusion is that aggro management will be making some kind of return to make tanks more complex via that route. As for mitigation, tanks already have enough between the two of them to help out the healers, who also have their fair amount of mitigation tools, as mitigation is pretty much a non factor if you have two brain cells.

SE created the environment that led to current tanking meta which thrived in XIV with Gordias, and harsher DPS checks that forced the tanks to do more than spam aggro combos for days. Although the dps checks have become more lenient, tanks are still expected to contribute as much damage as possible, since in this game dps is the only thing that really matters, and people are deluded if they think otherwise. Sure mitigation can only go so far, mechanics can be done in ever so slight a way all for one purpose...you guessed it MOAR DAMAGE. So any worthwhile tank like any other player, would want to see improvements in their chosen role.

Personally if SE wanted to bump all four tanks equally by 1k dps or so, sure I won't say no. The scaling is off for the tanks compared to the DPS as the graphs shown earlier in the thread, I know they changed the tank damage formula, and Yoshi said himself he thinks tanks did too much damage at the end of SB but it feels worse that you used to be that close but now you're miles behind, but still WHM has the capacity to out dps tanks and that needs to be addressed in 5.1, none of these excuses of but only at this tier or that tier, blah blah blah, doesn't change the fact it is able to if the players are good, and at less effort than playing tank.
