Preventing homogenization in tank mitigation

[Valknut]

I wish they would have went the healer route with tanks, just split the down the middle. ATM it seems like PLD and GNB just get everything, WAR gets a lot of everything and many things that should belong specifically to DRK.

Honestly, adding GNB was the mistake. HW didn't have great tank balance either, but they did have tank identity. If PLDS would have got an AOE combo, and higher dmg it would have been pretty damn tight race. Now we have DPS tank = GNB the best Off tank = PLD and 2 useless choices with 0 identity DRK and WAR.

What does having a new class have anything to do with homogenized mitigation tools?

It was going to happen with or without GNB. They simply took the easy way out, same with gap closers.

If they were more creative with their toolkits it should have no impact. But they literally gave DRK and GNB identical raid wide mitigation because they refuse to get creative with mitigation. DRK just got the crappier version that can not be brought to 2 of the 3 ultimates.
