Bring back Aggro, resource management, bring back consequences!

i remember them making aggro matter in SB, and tanks collectively lost their mind, and so did helas because tanks went back to str accessories and str melds and healers had to actually heal a bit..
it was like 3 weeks in and they had to change it back all cause the forums freaked out...

doubt they will ever do that again..

SB is the expansion where they finally made accessories role specific. This meant fending gear only had Vitality and no Strength. In the quest to push more damage, tanks would forgo some of the level 70 accessories and instead go for the level 60 strength ones. Since they didn't need the extra Vitality, it effectively made almost no difference to their survivability and allowed them to do more damage, which, in turn, allowed for more enmity gain, which in turn, allowed DPS stances to be used more effectively.

This never started as a way to produce more enmity, it started as a way to do more damage. It also helped the other jobs had things like Diversion and Lucid Dreaming and if you had a Ninja, Smokescreen and the other one they had which I forget the name of.

Of course, they had to change it because tanks weren't wearing level 70 gear. That is stupid, they should be wearing the highest level gear, it should be best regardless of what people thought, they needed to change it.
