There was an interesting write up posted on reddit looking at tank mitigation. We have a plethora of information on tank damage freely available and easy to see, but we often have nothing but theorycraft and 'feelings' when it comes to incoming damage and mitigation as it is considerably harder to casually parse out with all the variables that go into mitigation.

This is the 1st real stab I've seen at an in depth look at how we as tanks are mitigating damage. It's an interesting read with some surprising obvservations. I would highly suggest more people take a look.

With the never ending stream of balance complaints for years here, it's nice to see some numbers on the usually fuzzy defensive side of the equation. It's only 1 analysis and uses a specific set of parameters so I'm not going to claim this as some end all be all of tank defensive balance, but it is a far better place to start than what we often see. I just wish they used a less click-baity title lol.

No, I'm not summarizing it here. Go read it!
