Tank Damage

[MaraD_]

I will still consider it a nerf to tanks. With new gear and item level increase + 10 levels. We should be doing more than we did at 70 (Just like other jobs). But we aren't, I don't know how you can say it isn't. If you actually used 3rd party tools you would know.

It is a nerf like you said.
Dont measure the value of DPS by a flat number.
Instead see how much dmg they do in total in a fight, then cross multiply it, so you see what that damage is as a percentage.
If the percentage is lower than the average per boss encounter in the prior expansion, then its a nerf. (And yes, their percentage has been lowered.)
