About Patch 4.2 and Tank changes for War and Drk

[DamianTenbe]

Is SE able to answer if they are going to pass those changes or not? Part of me hopes that somone will press big red button for War and cancel those changes for War. Also with included Drk buff list that will make sense. Whatever yes or no I need to know if i need to put away my 2 heanded axe and sword to grab shield for tank or lance for dps. Thats why a message like thanks for the input we will consider your feedback but proceed with changes anways would be nice at least.

Go ahead and make your PLD default tank and DRG for dps. It will save you alot of time asking these questions.

They'll go through for sure. With how important these changes are too, we can only hope for a total revert at 4.3. And something inside of me knows it won't happen.

It would be funny if they would make a total job change again lol for those 2.

There's nothing to respond to though. You are asking for a "thanks for input" when you haven't even see the changes in action yet. You are offering an opinion that is only based on guesswork when you have absolutely no idea how this will effect the upcoming Raid and Trial encounters.

For all we know these changes were made because SE felt Tanks were to focused on DPS and wanted to reel it back a bit so that they could focus on the actually Boss encounter and mechanics. If after the results you feel there is an issue, aka after you try Byakko and the Omega raid, then give your input and explain why it doesn't work. However trying to guess how it won't work now without actually trying it is of no help to the Dev team because you are only using your own bias to determine that it won't work.

Tanks will remain focused on DPS if SE continues to simplify the rest of what they do and keeps nerfing their damage. They seem to miss the basic connection that Tank players like to feel a certain amount of power behind their job as well, while not as good as DPS, tank players in MMO's don't actually enjoy feeling like being JUST a meat-shield, especially if being JUST a meat-shield involves almost no thought at all due to them simplifying everything

Thank You. That's 100% I feel.

Ok how much info did you get from players regarding drk ? Like tons of it and we don't need to try out to see those 2 funny buffs to know that those buffs won't work for 4.2. its simply not enough.

Tank dps has always matter, what game have you been playing lol with the dps checks being way to high for dps to reach solely alone so unless SE has completely changed their raid formula (which they won't) we already Know how these changes will effect up coming raids....

And you show me a tank that doesn't want to push some dps and actually contribute more than just taking a tank buster

War changes look good imo, war will be more like 3.x warrior and i think it will be good.
