Idea to Fix Problems with Tank Main Stat & Accessories

[Kalise]

Thanks for the thoughtful responses. Much better than what I'm getting over on the subreddit.

The problem I have with "Health = Damage" abilities is it takes your DPS potential out of your hands. A lot of aggressive healers (read: my healers) don't keep their MT topped off and usually have them floating around 1/3 to 1/2 half for most of the fight so they can focus on DPSing without worrying about overhealing. I'm actually grateful that Upheaval is my only ability that scales damage based on my health because I'm sure I take a hit on that to benefit my healers.

Ah, I wasn't particularly clear.

In terms of the Health = Damage, I was more implying "Max Health" = Damage. Akin to how Upheaval gets BONUS Potency when you boost up your max health (Hence the lesser extent on Spirits Within as that just has the scaling down on Pot based on current health)

Meaning that irregardless of if you have 1 health or 100,000 health remaining it would do the same damage so long as your max health is the same (But also, where the issue would arise with WAR due to their 2 sources of max health boosting AND tank stance penalty mitigation)

Essentially, though, it would be just the same as Vit = Attack Power, just in an indirect way.

Also, as a side note... Anyone else find Upheaval odd given that WAR is the "Berserker" class, I would have thought they'd get a skill that scaled the other way, being more powerful at lower life...

Oh, I'm 100% behind that, then!

Ha! I never thought of it that way, but that would be more fun ... especially if you pulled off an Upheaval after a successful Holmgang for max damage!
