Reasonable buff to war

[Argyle_Darkheart]

WAR is last in every fight; stop only looking at rDPS when comparing the tanks.

To be fair, rdps is the only thing that matters.

It doesn't matter in the context of this discussion.

WAR is last in every fight; stop only looking at rDPS when comparing the tanks.

Even with that being the case for aDPS (a metric you have to be real nitpicky about), I have to ask "so what?"

[Argyle_Darkheart]

WAR is ahead in rDPS sometimes, but behind in aDPS.

What does that tell you about WAR?

WAR is ahead in rDPS sometimes, but behind in aDPS.

What does that tell you about WAR?

That it still doesn't detract from my original point that the discrepancy is pointless.

WAR is ahead in rDPS sometimes, but behind in aDPS.

What does that tell you about WAR?

That its dps is fine. noone who is seriously looking at a person's numbers cares about their inflated aDPS.

[Argyle_Darkheart]

The point is that your assumptions were incorrect; the discrepancy isn't what you said it was.

Whether that changes your opinion or not, I don't honestly care.

Edit:

That its dps is fine. noone who is seriously looking at a person's numbers cares about their inflated aDPS.

Then you misunderstand the point of this discussion, or perhaps you misunderstand what aDPS represents.

When it comes to player performance, rDPS is generally most important. When it comes to job performance, aDPS is the best practical metric for tank DPS.

The point is that even if WAR is dead last, the discrepancy between top dog and last place isn't serious enough to cry about being last in DPS. My opinion is that WAR's worthwhile, and in regards to tank DPS, we've got satisfactory balance.

I disagree. I believe rdps is the better metric for both. aDPS includes all sorts of buffs which skew numbers. rDPS as a tank would be the raw metric of your damage contribution without those buffs.
