Tank nerf coming?

[Aryalandi]

Never understood tanks using str, tanks are supposed to tank, I've never put a single point in to str and str is way behind on my list of concerns when its come to gear, vit is what we are supposed to be using, always has been

If a tank is doing DD worthy damage something has gone wrong. It's good that they did this honestly, and it is still a damage boost for vit tanks which since I have never str tanked has me all tingly and OP feeling.

[Billeffingmurray]

Nerf or buff doesn't matter to me. I will still tank like a champ and put out more damage than bad dps.

[Maero]

Thing is it has not only been Warrior, i have out dpsed dps as DK as well. And don't laugh, the odd time as PLD as well. (obviously due to bad dps for this one)
This will perhaps correct some of the mistakes

Think I only have 1 str item, only cus I couldn't wear 2 of my ilv 210 tanking rings. I will be glad to see STR tanks be gone, as a healer it irritates me when I see tanks at 15/16k when on my tank I am around 21k in dungeon but more so that the HP seems to drop so much quicker that I usually have to resort to staying out of Cleric stance the entire run.

Tanks need balancing its so painfully obvious. I feel bad for our support DPS, not you poor tanks.

[Instrumentality]

The buffs to MT PLD should significantly close the gap between PLD in ShO and the other tanks in tank stance.

SwO damage will be a bit lower than DRK/WAR, but not so much that it's just instantly out of the question to ever bring a PLD to progression content.

[Dante_V]

This is respectively speaking. There is the assumption that tanks will be doing significantly less damage and no evidence to support this and the provided source doesn't claim this. It will be a small difference at best. Considering 90% of the players in this game aren't playing there classes at 100% ability anyhow I doubt it will be of substantial effect to anyone outside of like the 90th percentile of their class attempting to min/max stats and rotation parsing. Honestly outside of Savage raids these changes aren't wholly relevant. The changes were specifically to deter the necessity of pentamelds for raiding.

@Kabzy

i am pretty sure this is based on player skill. Our first A2s clear we had a SCH in the gob walker for the first half of the fight, as the other healer was solo healing. Neither my co-tank or myself bothered using tank stance in that first portion of the fight. My SCH and I have a fun competition on the first phase of Thordan EX on who can put out more damage, because they aren't healing that phase. I MT it as PLD, but drop tank stance after my opener. (and yes, i am full STR)

It is all about the skill level of everyone in the party. It's also called appropriate defensive cool down usage.

Personally, though, SE should've added a item level sync on the new dungeons so they don't get the faceroll treatement after a month has passed and DPS can slack off again by overgearing the current content.

I say at every 3.X5 patch they should ad an ilvl synch. If the min is 200 it should synch at like 215-220.
