Mixed feelings about tank dps nerf in EW

[LitheSuxman]

I know the devs have discussed a while to bring down tanks' overall dps. Now looking at the numbers from the official updated job guide, I sort of understand the reason but I have to raise a question, wouldn't that make tank jobs questing a lot more tedious?

Sure, you gather all mobs and aoe compared to dps one at a time, but I would rather do the latter then spamming aoe over and over and over again, especially now the potency is nerf by half...
