How do we feel about tank damage right now?

"That healers have caught up".

There it is again.

That notion that healers aren't allowed to deal comparable damage.

Yet going by your own logic it's a nerf to tanks which is what people are pointing out. It has nothing to do with people saying healers shouldn't deal damage, no one is saying that.

After all "Every single buff is a nerf somewhere" in your own words.

No one is saying "Healers shouldn't do damage."

Quite a few are saying "Healers shouldn't do as much as tanks."

Going by my logic, if you wish to go through this entire thread, my conclusion was "Tanks do not need 1000 (11%) to be on par with where they were in Stormblood". The OP's statement was based on comparing graphs with two different measurements - The padded stacked logs of Stormblood to the "Damage Goes to Who Brings It" logs of Shadowbringers.

Imagine that - A comparative measurement wouldn't favor tanks, who are nearly as selfish as Black Mages when it comes to DPS buffs. Their "Damage contribution" is less, but not nearly as wide as being claimed here.

We're talking somewhere in the range of 150-200 DPS to each tank.
