"Changing Tank Damage Calculation"

[Einheri]

Changing str to something new doesn't solve anything. It just makes gear more restrictive. Instead of stacking str right side you would just stack will or vigor or whatever you call it.

It does. It solves the problem of tanks rolling on slaying accessories.

I don't think they'd go that route, but honestly it makes more sense then what the other guy said about war=str, drk=int, pld=pie. So all the low level/shared gear would have str, vit, int, and pie? It just doesn't make sense really. But who knows.

I've said this before sorta and I still think it's true, you have to determine whether SE thinks current tank damage meta is OK, or acceptable/intended. We don't know this, really, so it's hard to say the changes are gonna be this and that with any sort of certainty. I for one think that tank damage is higher than they anticipated/intended, and their dps numbers are going to be adjusted downward. This is just my thought. However, we already have established certain expectations and strategies for content, so it would be rough to say "Sorry you guys have been doing 1000+ dps for the last 6 months, it's time to go back to 500 dps tanks". I'm sure a lot of people would be pretty upset with that. So they may just adjust it so that current damage is upheld, but moving forward it will not increase that much if at all from it's current point.
