Tank Balance

[Reynhart]

It might really not be so overpowered and still be a safety net, but you have to keep in mind the other two tanks who can't avoid anything.

Let's look at the status you mentionned :

• Prey : Cannot target main tank (I'm not even sure it can target a tank), and easy enough to negate to still pick better DPS-tank
• T6 honey debuff : Doesn't target tanks
• T8 brainjack : Only prevents you from doing damage to the boss, since no important mechanic involces the MT during brainjack
• T7 cursed voice : Even if they look away for one GCD, other tanks will still do more damage
• T7 cursed shriek : Cannot target main tank. Might not target the OT, and only prevents the target from doing damage while running to the right spot.
• T7 venomous tail : Only a slight chance that the PLD will be the target and even though, any tank can mitigate the damage to allow one healer to cleanse them.
• T9 Ravensbeak poison : Not a big deal since it's fairly predictable and can be mitigated already.
• T9 fire/ice debuffs : Raid wide mechanic, even if the PLD is immune, it won't save the raid. Besides, it can screw up the timing of Fire-in/Fire-out and get the PLD killed.

Besides, yes, PLD IS supposed to be the defense expert. When picking your tank, you'll have to weight bypassing one debuff every 3 minutes or having an overall better DPS.
