    Basically. Do damage you get hate. Use cooldowns to survive.
    (They significantly dumbed down the tank role this expansion, before we had a tank and a dps stance to toggle but they removed it due to players expecting tanks to sit in DPS stance in raids)

    Trust me, tanks aren't happy with the changes, and you are seeing many veteran tanks leaving to DPS (same can be said with healers too). Currently the population hasn't change though because DPS role is so crowded and Tank role is now extremely easy to get into that DPS that couldn't stand the long queues or find raid groups went tank. However, this has resulted in the median of skill for tanks/healers being worse than Stormblood.
    We are unlikely to see SE make any changes until maybe 6.0 baised on thier current patches that have completely ignored tanks this expansion. (Like seriously there have been only 3 total buffs to tanks this expansion. 1 for a duration increase for our 30% mitiagion skill, 1 for Holmgang duration increase, and 1 for Shake it off buff.)
    TLDR: once you hit lvl 60 on all tanks you are basically looking at the end game of how tanks work at lvl 80 with only very minor changes.
