Homogenization and Simplicity in Tank Roles

[ItMe]

But if you want to tell me that all those tanks sitting in Grit/Defiance/Shield Oath while capped on gauge and constantly breaking their combos would suddenly become top players by just turning their tank stance off then you're

I fear you are grossly exaggerating their comment.

I fear you are grossly exaggerating their comment.

The simple act of turning it off made you automatically perform better than half of the tanks doing content without any real effort exerted. Now it mainly depends on how you execute your rotation and your uptime.

I think not.

Simply turning your tank stance off did not make you automatically better than half of the tanks, unless you were already better than them and in that case it doesn't even matter if you're in tank or dps stance.
The 2nd point makes it sound like executing your rotation and maximizing uptime were somehow irrelevant before ShB and all you had to do was turn your tank stance off.

Both points are either vastly exaggerated for the sake of argument or, if we're less charitable, flat out nonsense.

Yeah it did. The difference was 15-25% more damage, which is enough to turn a green parse into a high blue/low purple. A mediocre tank that used their stances correctly absolutely was automatically better than half of all tanks who didn't. Mathematically. There's absolutely no hyperbole whatsoever.
