    I'm not quite too sure why people are defending the fact that SE is killing tank damage. For those saying that tanks keeping hate is the issue and staying in DPS stance 24/7 is the devil, this isn't the case. From my knowledge, hate generation in any group has been a team effort and one of the main reasons why a Ninja is favored in top statics along with TA in raid progression. This would almost be as bad as them going to healers, nerfing the effects of HoT's and shielding so their forced to do manual heals and nerf their damage into the ground over time so they couldn't DPS ever, in any situation.

    If anything, the only real way to make tanks stay in tank stance is to increase the out going damage to the tanks or reduce the amount of health that can be healed for by the healers. Without this then you'll always see people dropping their tank stance and going for more DPS. Why?

    Because DPS jobs have many hate dump tools and most Duty finder groups more than likely won't have someone pushing their class to it's fullest to actually pull hate away from the tank and it's far easier for a tank to build hate, than for a DPS to out parse the hate generated by a tank

    What I don't understand is why SE isn't just lowering the effectiveness of strength for tanks (cutting it back to .8, .7 as someone said before) so that tanks can just scale naturally with little to no maintenance over time.
