How do we feel about tank damage right now?

(Forgive the 4-day late reply, but this still seems an important point to discuss.).

Questions that could be their own discussion thread, for certain, but not here, unfortunately.

Frankly, if I'm being honest, I don't think buffing tanks is the end of the world, I just know it won't end there. We'll hit 5.2 and 5.3 and we'll see this thread again, because the core problem is that tanks, even as fun as they can be at times, are still just extremely shallow.

A potency boost should be seen as patronizing, not as the solution, because that would just be a "Quiet down and enjoy your 800 more damage per hit".

I will agree with that. I'm personally skeptical we'll actually get changes next expansion but that's far in the future so we'll see then. I honestly wouldn't give a damn about tank damage being arguably lower than before if tanks actually became more like tanks because of it.

This, exactly. I just don't like getting it while also having fewer tank-related outputs available to us that are actually under our control.

Likewise, though, I can entirely see what Kobooa means in terms of setting a risky precedent, given how often the devs can almost be accused of malicious compliance. I don't think every risky issue can be avoided, though. There is, inevitably, going to be a time where we can't take a poorly done version or even a second version and just accept the excuse that "It's too late now."
