Ok. Sure. Let's just pretend like Phoenix and Bahamut didn't auto for literally the same amount that bosses in Alexander Savage do at level 60 with more Def/MDef, more HP, more healing, and stronger regens. Blah blah blah "tank busters hit so hard always!", you cry. Welcome to 2.0, wherein every tank buster ever has been the thing you mitigate always every single time 24/7. Do you know what you used to mitigate every tank buster in? Tank stance + CDs. Do you know what you mitigate it in now? DPS stance + CDs. Do you know why? Because a crit auto could kill you with low gear and a solid CD. That literally can not even happen now. It's insane how easy all these turns are as a tank even compared to T12 and 13 which weren't exactly grade school maths level of difficult.

Freyyy says he started playing more aggressively in SCoB, stance dancing and wearing more STR/Melded. Good! Yes! That's how it should be. Do you know what no longer exists now? Stance dancing. You start in your tank stance and you're out of it for the rest of the fight. Why?

But honestly sure, yeah, totally the same, whatever I can't be bothered.
