That's actually something I've never put into words that mitigation is king. I've noticed that tanks are the most overpowered role in the game. For harder content, you bring DPS because tanks hit enrage, and then you bring healers because the DPS are squish and can't mitigate good. But I've done 4 tank expert roulettes, and there are videos of 8 tank diamond weapon and 8 tank UCOB. It's really wild.
