Mixed feelings about tank dps nerf in EW

[Rezer]

Keep in mind the damage calculations changed for physical vs magcal damage potencies. Each point of potency should be similar between physical and magical now, whereas each individual point of magical potency used to be "worth" more.

This makes jobs that mainly do physical damage appear to be nerfed, though they'll be doing comparable damage (adjusted to stat squish) to what they were doing before the changes.

Perhaps, but I've noticed a lot of physical dps across the board had their aoe damage reduced much more than their single target abilities, and in some cases the single target abilities even had their potency increased. Additionally certain mechanics, like the way bard songs proc, have been significantly nerfed in cases where you're dealing with more than one enemy. I'm really hoping they're not trying to nerf wall to wall dungeon pulls, cause that's the easily the most entertaining way of doing dungeons.

Oh, and one of the more baffling trends I'm noticing is an increase in non-combo potency while combo potency of the same ability is reduced. Are there people out there just hitting buttons randomly who needed a dps boost? What's the story there I wonder.
