First off aggro is never an issue in any mmo i've tanked in. I'm sure tanks don't maximize dps because they are having aggro issues, that's a player skill problem. So maximizing dps is just maximizing dps and more aggro from it is just bonus, not required. And I don't know where you are coming from saying that tanks back then did close to 0 damage while generating enmity. From where in my previous post did I say I want to do close to zero damage? And please tell me want content you doing that tanks are taking 200 per hit autos and healers are healing them for 1.2k a tick? Stop using extremes to prove a point. In A1S that I have experienced and cleared, I take roughly around 2.5 to 3k hit autos and my whm regen is only healing around 1.4-1.5 a tick. The fact that I can tank oppressor in A1S in Deliverance 80% of the time and only going into defiance for tank buster to pop inner beast and cooldown is stupid game design. So like I said I only truly feel like a tank during those 20% times im in defiance to mitigate and tank buster. Other than that I'm in deliverance doing a dps rotation to maximize my dps, just like a dps. I picked a tank to play a tank and right now I don't really feel like a tank.
