Removing Tank Stance Argument

[Jandor]

Okay. It's one of the better solutions to the Stance problem.

Remove the penalty, and basically just make its use simply be based on what position you're in. Similar to how I suggested stances be done, just without the interesting gameplay shift, it's now just "Do enmity" or "Don't do enmity"

I wonder if this might just trivialize Enmity though? Or will circle-shirking still be a thing?

Probably just trivialize enmity tbh. They're removing NIN aggro tools too, aggro as something the party has to work together to manage seems a dead concept.

Also, I'm curious about that whole sentence about HP Bonus and damage dealt increase bonus? Is it suggesting more stuff like Upheaval? Is Vitality going to be indirectly a DPS stat again?

I reckon they get a boost to damage from STR and a boost to HP and/or armor from VIT. Doubt VIT as damage stat is coming back.

Well... RIP level 1-29 Tanks.

Presumably tank stance is a very early skill, like level 10 or something.

Wait... Sheltron duration increased? Wut? Like it already lasts 10s... If you're not taking a hit within 10s then wtf are you using the skill for?

Guessing it just blocks everything for the duration. Bulwark appears to be gone too.
