Mogtalk interview with yoshi p

But hurt their DPS, they care about that. It gives feedback between failing a mechanic and the consequences, which vuln stacks don't really do.

These are in game and should be expanded upon.
But people also ignore v-stacks simply because the outgoing base damage is too low. V stacks only become a concern if they cause you to die to non avoidable damage.

If, as a healer, I don't care whether I heal people with 0 or 3 stacks, then I know that the incoming damage is simply way too low.

Combine meaner V-stacks + damage debuff + harsher penalties on rezzing and you might get people to obey mechanics more.

Naah lets face it: in this MMO and in pretty much any I have played: it's always the healer that is burdened by "content difficulty" because if sth. goes wrong, we are the only ones that might be able to compensate for it.
