Concise Tank Balance Changes

[Derio]

Honestly they need to get rid of the mp cost of changing or applying stances.

Simply give DRK a group mitigation tool or get rid of the ones on PLD and WAR to balance things out.

Slashing debuff from WAR needs to be removed, especially since they got rid of PLD str down and DRK int down debuffs.

However I think WAR will continue to be the golden child in 5.0 and we will see tank balance continue to suffer whether they add a new tank or not.

Errr... while I agree that resistence type debuffs (slashing, piercing, blunt) should go, you seem to associate Rage of Halone's STR down and Delirium's INT down wrongly. WAR's equivalent (or should I say flat out better version) was Storm's Path's -10% damage down - a debuff so meta that it basically enforced WAR in every comp; you'd get laughed at if you tried to run DRK PLD. Apart from working both physical and magical, it also worked for dark type / true damage (forced damage mechanics).

Slashing can hardly be associated with anything the other tanks have or had.
