I know I promised not to reply to you anymore, but wow. Just wow. You just said the same thing in different words. But see, I know what you're saying because of your DEF/VIT touting in the PLD section. What you're saying is that it doesn't change how much damage you take per hit, which is correct, but it definitely reduces the damage taken over the course of a battle if you can kill something faster. Easily put: something dies faster (ie. 60s), it does less damage to you than if the fight took longer (like 90s). They are absolutely correlated when you compare the same tank type and same person in both situations.

The rest of your dribble has NOTHING to do with anything in this thread. Nobody is talking about DEF/VIT. Nobody is talking about MP spent by tanks to heal themselves. Nobody is talking about avoiding TP attacks. Why do you always bring that stuff into every thread I post in? Stay on topic and please, slow down when you type ffs.

Lastly, if you seriously think that being able to kill something faster in a stable, controlled manner is somehow more a testament to broken game mechanics than player skill, then try running AV in 14minutes and get back to me. It's hardly something that lacks skill.
