Question for all the salty tanks

[Yahallo]

I'm not a War main, and I don't think Tanking is fine in the long term with the current state of things. If this continues, it will become rather difficult for tanks to maintain aggro due to the damage gap between them and DPS, because damage generates enmity. Twelve forbid the DPS forgets to use their enmity reducer (or refuses to use them in some cases).

This isn't just a thing in the English community either; the Japanese community also wants some changes like going back to the Vit+Str damage calculation. There's a movement in both communities for changes.

This is a good thing, I hope we can keep fightning on both sides to sort this out as soon as possible with the dev. team.

Problem with this game is, that you get rewarded for stealing the aggro of the tank. If I'm second on aggrolist and close to the tank I get dozens of VIP-votes for the content. If I use all reducers I have, I get None.

Since the game lacks any parser, PUK-Groups rely on aggro-meter for determing who was effective.

That seems.. incorrect. I use Diversion on cooldown pretty much as SAM, and still get commendations. To be fair, I HAVE to use it on cooldown or I rip hate off the tank constantly.

On topic, something does need to be tweaked. Idk if its Samurais damage output, Tanks having emnity issues or what.. but the number of times I have to back away and stop dpsing in dungeons is just getting worse as I slowly get my Samurai geared up. And I'm not even in full 310 yet, let alone the EX primal gear. Something isn't working properly.
