Reasonable buff to war

[Hierro]

The problem is that rDPS ignores the practical reality that raid buffs affect each tank differently.

You seem so set on the idea that the differences matter, so let's just cut to the chase: is a ~5% discrepancy between WAR and GNB aDPS really that hard for you to live with?

Calling some measure of error a trifle does not make it any less an error.

The discrepancy between WAR and GNB aDPS being small has nothing to do with whether rDPS is by no means a perfect measurement for tank balance, given that added party dps as a result of your ability to use your composition's utility is not shown in your own metric. It is nearly sufficient. But it is not.

As no tank provides any personal rDPS beyond their aDPS, but their discrepency in aDPS does provide additional rDPS to other members, he's right that aDPS should also be considered.

You have a tank that is behind GNB wihout buffs even aplied by a bit, then you add in party buffs. Then you have the same tank benefit the least from some party buffs while the GNB has no such degregation from any party buffs and the gap just widens further now.
