Removal of Piety and Tenacity for Endwalker

[Awha]

A Str tank had about 25% more hp than a melee dps with a better def/mdef. Most tank busters were designed for Vit tanks using a single cooldown so required a cooldown+shield for Str tanks.



You shouldn't have expected that, because all stats including secondaries scale with, and have always scaled with, character level not target level.

A level 50 i130, a level 60 i270, a level 70 i400 and a level 80 i530 are all the same tier of gear and have similar Crit and Direct Hit rates which are higher than that of a level 50 i50, a level 60 i150, a level 70 i290 and a level 80 i430.

Put a level 80 in the same gear as a level 50 and you will see the level 80 actually criting less while doing far more damage on average.


Comparing level 50 crit rates with level 80 crit rates is disengenous. If you want to see output changes compare level cap entry ilevels to level cap max ilevels. This is actually very noticeable as illustrated by the Alliance Raids.

That does not seem overly stressful. Granted I was a lowbie back then but given how healing is now it does not seem that bad. It seems like it upped the level of engagement of healers in raids.

It bears reminding at that time healers didn't have the complete suites of healing they do now.
