my thoughts on how to make tank jobs more engaging

Hate to break it to you, but Shadowbringers' busters on tanks are hitting as hard (relatively) as busters in Stormblood raids without tank stance on. All the Tank Trait does is provide the old tankstance benefit for Lv70 and below content; for SHB content the damage is taking the trait into account and is scaled like being in DPS stance in SB.

Yeah you right, tankbusters in Stormblood totes hit for 110k damage through Vengeance's 30% mitigation.

Read what they said again, they are proportionally hitting the same damage, as in a buster in sb without tank stance on would do say 75% of your health (pretend numbers for clarity), now in shb a buster deals 75% of your health with nothing on, thats why the person said relatively, they obviously are doing bigger numbers now because of number bloat. Im inclined to agree with that assessment having tanked savage in both expacs, if anything I think we are taking more damage now than stanceless tanking in sb but what with boss autos being as inflated as they are now.

I'm sorry, is this supposed to be a bad thing? Bosses are supposed to hit hard in savage; it's sort of the point. I quite liked Titan auto attacking for 33k when I had 148k HP. Hell, I'd have been fine with him auto'ing even a little bit harder. If for no other reason than the fact that nothing does anything resembling damage outside of savage, even in certain EX's the bosses do laughable damage.

I never claimed it was a bad thing, only that you misunderstood their post.

I'd say less so misunderstood and more so intentionally facetious.
