We need to do something about Tanks and Outgoing Damage from Bosses

Replacing some of it with shields isn't the worst idea...


DRK was generally fine in 7.0, go back to that and maybe take Shadowed Vigil down from 1200 to like 800.

PLD, replace the HoT from Holy Sheltron and Intervention with a 400 potency shield. While removing the heal from Divine Veil and the Confiteor combo. Divine Spirit can keep it's heal as you get one of them through your main combo, and if you REALLY want to, you can trade the Confiteor combo to spam Divine Spirit for sustain in Requiscat/Imperator... Maybe drop down the potency of the Confiteor combo when not used with Requiscat/Imperator to make it even more of a trade off...

GNB, take Aurora back to 1 charge and 200 potency. And take Heart of Corundrum down to like a 300 potency heal max. Or turn the heal into a shield.



WAR would need some more extensive reworking... Unless you want more homogenization... They've kind of been in an awkward position when they started the tank homogenization in Shadowbringers, as Defiance lost the extra 25% HP and 20% more healing received, which incidentally back then buffed SCH and AST shields, as the healer shields are based on the amount healed... But without that extra HP, they needed the same mit as every other tank. But they also kept their self heals...

Replacing tank self-sustain with barriers is the worst idea by far, tank barriers scale off of their max hp and not from tank's cure potency, giving a tank barrier especially just by doing their rotations like the post you were replying to will make tank even better in ultimates and literally gods who can't be hurt in normal dungeons.

What if I told you a 400 potency shield doesn't mean 400% of the tanks HP?
