The problem with a backwareds color meter, is the fact it doesnt change anything, unless the color effects how CLOSE they are to u in threat, which creates a problem when u die, and are trying to build threat back up.

next, is that when ur not holding hate, the bars/colors dont help much.

as a DPS, if I am at 50% of the tanks threat, and the tank is struggling to hold hate, its usually my very next attack (unbuffed) that takes me from 50% threat to 100% threat.

There was no in the middle. I go from Green to Red in a single attack.

So the system isnt perfect, and in most cases, when tanks struggle, the DPS are jumping from low to max threat, rather than riding the line.

The only times the DPS ride the line, are when the tanks are great and the DPS are too.
