    It needed fixed.

    Dropping your protective stance, and dumping most of your threat generation shouldn't make you *more* tanky and able to do more DPS at the same time. That's just stupid.
    High risk high reward, which now no longer seems to exist, is maybe a better way of stating that style of play. PLD was far from useless comparatively when you factor in things like HG and clemency. It was strong in its own way verses now where every tank is strong in basically the same way.

    But why shouldn’t dropping tank stance reward you with higher dps? The trade off makes complete sense to me as a secondary means of generating enmity is damage output. You bleed less enmity the more dps you have, allowing you time to utilize all those awesome stance gated abilities then transferring back to grit or what have you if need be. Saying it was flawed design philosophy is a fair critic but stupid is a bit fair.
