I love this! You're right that dps get all excited at their damage numbers, healers get to be excited at their healing numbers... tanks should be able to be excited over their damage taken numbers. ^_^ Makes sense to me!
....
I was wondering, what about making hate generation easier (and yes, I fear using that word here) for tanks? Aren't tanks yelled at most often if they let a mob slip away to go nom on a dps or healer?
I will agree that targeting with a ps3 controller is awful. Why does it select a mob across the room rather than the one next to me? I get the whole character-view not camera-view thing, but still. :-/
I get the argument that it's the players not the game that makes tanking unappealing. What can the devs do to make tanking less rage inspiring?
I'm a big FF fan myself, but renaming abilities wouldn't really do much for me. :-/
