[SainCheese]

Today, I will remember this day, as the day.. the tanks went away.

PvP balance you say?

72 Seal Rock dmg

WAR 100-150k
PLD 90-140k
DRK 90-140k

WHM 0-50k
SCH 0-50k
AST 0-30k

SMN 250-350k
DRG 150-250k
NIN 150-250k
PGL 120-220k
BRD 120-220k
MCH 130-220k
BLM 100-180k

After today..

WAR 40-80K
PLD 40-80k
DRK 30-70k

SMN 290-390k

Everybody else stays the same.

Today is the day I watched a smn laugh at my fell cleaves while blowing up my WHM.

Today is the day an AST didn't bother to spam shields and just took the Dmg to the chin.

Today is the day I watched every single dps on the opposing side ignore my tank push. (RIP pvp tanking... RIP people actually targetting tanks because they were valid threats. Now they're just a harmless gnat that can be ignored until everybody else is dead, which means Tanks are no longer tanks)

And now I will remember this day, as the day.. the tanks went away.

Keep it real you pvpers!

That sucks big time. I don't like the dps nerf, but i can accept it if they give tanks more pvp utility-namely buff each tanks class specific tank skills so that it makes killing tanks as important as killing healers.

It can be something as simple as reducing tank pvp skills cool downs like tempest or thrill of war by 30-40 percent.

Or give tanks additional pvp skills to increase their mobility or self healing...

[SainCheese]

I agree with you 100% Well said!

Wow my Fell Cleave hits for about 1500 without berserk. Probably low 2ks if it crits! Geebus! PVE fix ruined PVP for tanks imo... Are they gonna do something about this?

Like, I've seen it crit for about 5k before... that means it must have been doing 3k+ without crit... now its half that much... how is this possible? The funny thing is, since they got rid of rank requirements for pvp gear, I'm actually better equipped now than I was previously!

Like, the bonus damage nerf + the vit/attack power change totally screwed my damage... I don't know... I don't have he numbers, but it feels like a 40% damage nerf at the least... or am I just crazy?

[Februs]

That was beautiful lol.

[Guesswhat]

Is the damage better with str or vit now with tanks? If the difference is trivial then all tanks should go full vit.

Why not rename the stats?

STR -> PDPS
DEX -> RDPS
VIT -> TANK
INT -> MDPS
MND -> HEAL
Piety -> MP+

Lets call a spade a spade.

First my fireworks, and now this??

People target tanks to build their limit break bars though not cause their threats lol.

Actually this is kinda true. I just target tank to build my stacks.
